holoVillage: Our Cozy Days, developed by Roboqlo and published by CCMC (the owners of the holoIndie brand), is a slow-life RPG featuring chibi versions of hololive production talents. The game received its first major free update on August 24, which includes all five members of hololive DEV_IS unit FLOW GLOW as villagers, as well as a new beach area, expanded villager interactions, and new combat mechanics. Alongside the update, a Summer Swimsuit Series DLC featuring 48 swimsuit outfits for the characters has also launched.
Originally released on Steam on April 24, holoVillage: Our Cozy Days is centered on building a home and spending time with chibi hololive members. Players can farm, fish, mine, craft furniture, explore dungeons, and develop their village.
As of the new update, players can invite Isaki Riona, Koganei Niko, Mizumiya Su, Rindo Chihaya and Kikirara Vivi to their village. Additionally, furniture and other decorative objects inspired by the five talents have been added to the game.
The update adds a new Beach area where players can spend time with hololive talents, purchase new items, and watch special mini live shows at night. On the other hand, the new Villager Interaction System also lets players deepen their relationships with the talents by giving them items or helping them with requests. If you become close enough, your favorite members might surprise you with profile cards and other special gifts.
The update expands combat with the addition of new actions: Players wielding swords and katanas can now dodge, while hammers and axes can guard. Furthermore, a high-difficulty dungeon and mysterious new locations are also introduced with the update, offering players more challenges to explore.
holoVillage: Our Cozy Days is out now via PC (Steam). To commemorate the new update and the release of the DLC, the game is available on the platform at a 20% discount.
