Morning walks bring ideas; fishing gives them room to settle. Even an ordinary view can hold the start of a sentence.

A DAY IN CHATVILLE

Nobody needs to direct
every little moment.

Step from a personal home into the StarBugs café and terrace, OhSake, Blue Hour, or Jazzy Star. Follow the riverside fishing deck, wooden bridge, and garden paths to see the day unfold.

Coffee by the window

Take a break in the new StarBugs interior or out on its terrace.

From a bite to a memory

A catch brings a heart; an escape brings disappointment. The result stays in the resident’s memory.

Back home at the end of the day

Lie down under the covers, or take a seat on a sofa or chair facing the right way.

Time at home

Sit at a desk or settle on a sofa, then lie under the covers at night. Furniture and interiors have been refined around the characters.

Familiar places, day and night

Coffee at StarBugs, OhSake by day, and Blue Hour in the evening. Jazzy Star offers a stage for sharing music.

One cast, one story

A bite brings an exclamation mark. Reel in a fish or watch it escape, then react with joy or disappointment. Each attempt becomes a memory.

A day worth remembering

Residents draw on relevant memories and recent experiences in conversation. Save their daily life and memories to keep watching another time.

WALK. WATCH. TALK.

Stop for a moment.
Ask about their day.

Walk toward a door to enter a home or shop. Press E near a chair to sit or stand, then say hello to a nearby neighbor.

The game interface and conversations are currently being developed in Korean.

LOCAL LIFE

Life continues without an AI connection.

In the default mode, residents follow their preferences, needs, and the time of day. Watching village life does not require an external AI connection.

AI CONVERSATION

Connect AI from inside the game.

The AI button enables AI-assisted choices and conversations. The development build requires local server setup and an OpenAI API key. API usage is billed separately.

GROWING, ONE DAY AT A TIME

A little more life, day by day.

The village, shops, and everyday animations are still growing. These are scenes from the development build; public installation files are not available yet.
