Tokyo, Japan, 8 June 2025 — As Gingham Games and Analgesic Productions announced in today’s Wholesome Direct and Women-Led Games Showcase, the charming GBA-inspired adventure Danchi Days has a public demo on Steam! The neighborhood summer festival won’t happen unless you convince everyone to take part, and you can already make a start this summer ahead of the game’s launch on PC next year.

Danchi Days follows Hoshino, as she tries to revive the summer festival, in hopes of helping her grandma overcome dementia. Once a thriving community, this danchi (a Japanese mass housing complex) has lost its spark. But Hoshino is determined to change things to see joy in her grandma’s eyes again, and so the mission begins: to get as many neighbors to RSVP as possible. It’ll take determination, mini-game skills, and a curious mind, but Hoshino might just be able to do it!
This GBA-inspired, nostalgic cozy adventure invites you to get to know the very quirky neighbors, browse the NeighborNet, challenge yourself in replayable mini-games, and team up with an adorable kappa sidekick, to revive the summer festival that meant so much to your grandma and the neighbors.
Key Features
