Halcyon Days at Taoyuan is a cozy farming sim with an immersive village life. Taoyuan village is the perfect place to cure your loneliness. There are only a handful of villagers, but they have such interesting personalities and back stories. Plus, they’re super welcoming! Get to know them, maybe even fall in love, as you farm, raise livestock, excel at one of nine occupations, and decorate your home. Even gather in town for festivals and events to truly feel like a member of the community.

What’s New

And with the V1.1.1 update, there’s even more to enjoy about Halcyon Days at Taoyuan!
