Description

Welcome to Taoyuan Village to heal your loneliness.

Here, you can lead a carefree, self-sufficient life: farm, tame animals, raise livestock, fish, and build a prosperous homestead.

Or, immerse in village life, meet kindred spirits, find love, and influence their destinies with your choices.

Whether it's the labor you put in or the relationships you cultivate, every drop of sweat you shed will bear fruit. In Taoyuan Village, no effort goes unrewarded.

There are nine major occupations: farming, forestry, animal husbandry, fishing, tailoring, cooking, construction, mining, or martial arts. Which one do you want to excel in?

Upgrade your house, furnish it with decorations, and create your ideal countryside compound. "Where the heart finds peace is home."

Befriend wild creatures—train them as assistants or keep them as companions. The world may be frayed, but little paws mend it stitch by stitch. (And yes, those with hooves or wings count too!)

The villagers may be few, but each has a past, a story, and their own flaws and virtues—just like real people. Treat them with sincerity, and their attitudes toward you will change. You might even alter the course of their lives.

Experience vibrant festivals—Spring Festival, Qingming, Dragon Boat, Mid-Autumn—along with grand Chinese-style weddings . Immerse yourself in the most traditional Chinese flavor.

This game is so genuine and sweet. Those comparing it to stardew valley maybe saw the pixel graphics and general setting feel and assumed it to be the same, but how they approach different mechanics, how they interact

I'm not sure how I'd never heard of Halcyon Days at Taoyuan before I found it, but I love it. I've played a large number of pixel "farm sims" - SDV, Fields of Mistria, Sun Haven, Roots of Pacha, World's Dawn, Peaceful

Not a bad game but some aspects of it feel like early access, it's a lot of small things that add up in the end. I wouldn't recommend it unless you are desperate for something like Stardew Valley but different enough to

calling this another stardew-like cozy game feels like a disservice and I feel anyone who calls it that has not played for longer than 10 minutes. outside the farming aspect, it's so different in the best ways, even as

It's very fun and unique. My only grievances is that I wish there was music on rainy days and on the beach. At least maybe wave sounds at the beach.

Adorable game. So calm and peaceful. Beautiful artwork too! There seems to be a bug with taming animals in the caves. I've tamed several pets that after taming, don't appear in my bags. Happened with rare ones, uncommon
