This game is a linear story with almost no gameplay. I really like the art style, the soundtrack, and the story behind it, but there are clearly some aspects that could be fixed and improved. The interaction animations are too long, which made the experience frustrating and a bit boring. There are some moments with no sound or music at all, and by the end of the game, I encountered some animation bugs I usually like short, linear story games, but in this one, you spend 100% of the time pressing 2 buttons, and if you aren’t already familiar with the context and story of the Village of Nagoro, you won’t understand the real meaning until the end of your playthrough
Игра 'In The Rural Village of Nagoro' - это медитативное и атмосферное приключение, которое оставляет глубокий след в душе игрока. Простота графики обманчива, за ней скрывается мощная история о старении, одиночестве и связи с уходящим прошлым. Перемещение по опустевшей деревне, населенной куклами, создает ощущение сюрреалистичной и печальной красоты. Dialogues короткие, но содержательные, заставляющие задуматься о смысле жизни и бренности бытия. Геймплей минимален - в основном, это ходьба и взаимодействие с немногочисленными объектами. Однако, именно эта неторопливость позволяет полностью погрузиться в атмосферу. Звуковое оформление, состоящее из тихой эмбиентной музыки и звуков природы, идеально дополняет визуальную составляющую. 'In The Rural Village of Nagoro' - не игра для тех, кто ищет экшен или сложные головоломки. Это скорее интерактивный опыт, который предлагает задуматься о важных жизненных вопросах и насладиться меланхоличной красотой увядающей деревни. Рекомендуется всем, кто ценит искусство в играх и готов к неспешному, но глубокому повествованию.

This is a beautiful and charming game where you play as a girl who grows into a woman in Nagoro village. The art is hand drawn and lovely, and the music is gentle and relaxing. You get to learn about the different characters that live in the village, and their relationship with the protagonist. The story is tender and affectionate, and brings Nagoro to life. There aren't any difficult puzzles to solve, but that's fine as the storytelling is wonderful. There's no swearing, no sex and no violence in the game. This game can be played by people of all ages, and is family friendly.
Perfect
a short game, with beautiful artwork and a good story.
Simple, very cute little story about a woman and her dream to honor her former neighbors.
It's kind of okay, feels like an old flash thing or a student final exam gaming animation. Hold arrow key left and then right hut F a few times. Would,ve been better as an actual music clip. Also it is has links to a tourism company that offers tours. it might have some cultural interest. 5/10 don't know if i should do up or down. I did up because I know how much time it costs to draw stuff.
Tatlış bir oyun.
温馨纪录片
this game involves three buttons. it has one beginning, the same events happen whether you push the second button or not. the end is the same no matter what choice you make. And for this, the game is one of the most beautiful heartfelt little tales that gave me everything I wanted and more. If you know the history of Nagoro, this game is a cute little telling of the story of that town and how it came to be. If you are unaware, the story will give you a wonderfully bizarre mix of comfort and dread ans you can sense something approaching. Is this a great game as a game? obviously not. But it is a story, a lesson in humanity and the continual need for connection, family, faces...how we never truly are alone as long as we have memories. This game is an experience to savor.
