Commercial success of Honokurashi no Niwa

Overview

The life simulation horror game ‘Honokurashi no Niwa’, released by Nippon Ichi Software on July 30, 2026, has experienced rapid commercial success in Japan. Shortly after its launch, the title surpassed 100,000 domestic sales.

The game features a blend of rural life simulation and folk horror, where players manage a garden and house while navigating supernatural elements and strict village rules. By September 2026, sales had increased to over 200,000 units.

Following this growth, Nippon Ichi Software launched an online lottery via the ‘DRAW! DRAW!’ service. The promotion offers various merchandise tiers, including a flip clock, a blanket, acrylic stands, and tin badges, with prizes scheduled for delivery in early 2027.
