In an absolute shocker of a surprise, G-MODE has announced a port of Bokujou Monogatari: Life & Love! This game was originally released for Japanese feature phones, pre-Smart Phones, and had been pretty much lost to time with sparsely available information. Unfortunately, the game is still exclusively available in Japanese, but it's still amazing that this game, and its original cast of characters, is finally becoming available again thanks to G-MODE and Marvelous.

Below is the description from the Steam page, as well as some screenshots:

Enjoy a heartwarming farm life while growing crops and interacting with animals! This title is a port of a title released in 2007 for feature phones in the popular series, which has been developed for numerous hardware platforms. It simultaneously includes “for Boy,” in which a boy is the main character, and “for Girl,” in which a girl is the main character. Enjoy ranch life while cultivating crops, raising cows and sheep on the farm, mining, and growing beautiful flowers in the flower garden! While running a ranch, you can deepen your relationship with the people in the village and get married if you get to know them well. Find your favorite partner from the different villagers in the “for Boy” and “for Girl” categories!

and below here are some screenshots of the original release, to further give an idea of what's in the game:

Here is me playing through a short quest in an old tutorial room. I like this video since I engage with a lot of the mechanics I've been working on.
