Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin is trending on JP twitter atm, super cool to see this 2-man doujin game blowing up
apparently people are marveling at the attention to detail of the farming systems, it's "use the FAQ on the government agriculture website as a strategy guide"-level deep

icymi, it's a hybrid between a combat-heavy action-RPG and a rice farming sim, sort of like a side-view Rune Factory

"Sakuna has ppl like
'I can't leave a single grain behind'
'I'm sorry for ignoring my sushi rice, it won't happen again'
'I got annoyed by the guy a table over for leaving rice on his plate'
they should use this game in elementary school diet class"🇯🇵

Sakuna's the #1 game on the Japanese Switch eShop atm (overtaking evergreen games like Animal Crossing, new games like Pikmin 3 DX & soon-to-be-released Hyrule Warriors and Momotetsu) and is also the #1 Steam game in Japan, and the physical version's sold out all over the place
