These kinds of sim games don’t necessarily have “main” goals, but there is one in Komori Life. More functions will gradually open up to you as you progress. Despite that, it’s not mandatory, so you can still go on your merry way with the few things you have, like farming, and eventually, you’d be able to unlock those other things too.

Within the game is a “diary”, which works the same way as an achievement system or missions/goals. Do things like crafting furniture for the first time, accepting requests from villagers, raising pets and so forth. While you’re going along with the “main” quest, if you find yourself at a loss of things to do, then just look through the diary to find something!

Within your compound, farm, fish, cook, and make furniture or props. Arrange the furniture as you see fit! Plant and grow those crops to sell for money, which in turn you use to buy clothes, more furniture and whatever else you need.

Cooking in this game is done similarly to “Cooking Mama”, so practice that (not really). As you get more proficient, you can keep more animals, from cats, to chickens, cows and other creatures. The cats pretty much work like how you might expect: feed and walk/play with them, with the option to even dress your cat in clothes you can buy.

You’d be able to interact with other characters, of course, with the main village being where you buy all your things. There’s also a forest area where you can explore.

The forest would probably be one of the most important areas for players, where you can chop wood, mine and fish. There’ll be several areas for you to walk through, with convenient waypoints as well. However,  you do need to go through the area at least once if you want to teleport back. Fishing can feel like a rhythm game, while hunting is similar to FPS controls.

Some areas will require specific equipment to explore, or your energy will be sapped quickly. You can mitigate this through said equipment.

Energy is capped at 300 points, which will recover over time. Most meaningful actions will require this energy. This isn’t unusual, since typical sim games also have an energy bar. The game itself is pretty slow paced, so take it easy.

4GamerTW recommends players to complete requests and fishing to make money, especially with the latter giving you the opportunity to catch high-value fish that can give higher returns than farming.

If you’ve been looking for a little life farming sim, then you can try out Komori Life.
