En-nichi is a cozy and charming game inspired by Matsuri (Japanese festivals). Already popular in Japan, it is now being localized to English by Mugen Gaming along with two brand new standalone expansions!
Explore the festival and wander between charming stalls playing fast-paced mini-games like:
🎯 Shooting Gallery (Shateki, 射的)
🐟 Goldfish Scooping (Kingyo-sukui, 金魚すくい)
🎈 Yo-Yo Balloon Catch (Yo-Yo Tsuri, ヨーヨー釣り)
🎭 Mask Vendor (Omen-ya san, お面屋さん )
As you wander from game to game, you will collect colorful prizes to charm the villagers. Win their favor and they will join you for the grand finale. Bring the most joy to the festival through winning prizes and befriending villagers, and win En-nichi!
If you visit Japan in the summer, we recommend attending a summer festival (Natsu Matsuri or En-Nichi) to experience a fun part of Japanese culture. During the summer, parks and shrines across Japan host these lively festivals, filled with food stalls and small game booths.
Originally, summer festivals began as ceremonies meant to drive away evil spirits during the hot season, when illness was more common. Today, they are joyful community events where people gather to enjoy time together with traditional games, Japanese folk dances, fireworks, and delicious festival foods.
We hope this game gives you a little taste of the excitement and charm of a Japanese summer festival!
