Hono-gurashi no Niwa will have a horrorless Safe Livelihood Mode

Nippon Ichi Software has been gradually publishing details for Hono-gurashi no Niwa, which they will release first in Japan for Switch 1&2, PS5, and PC via Steam on July 30. The most recent feature introduced is the Safe Livelihood Mode, where the player can opt to enjoy daily life activities in the game without triggering any horror events.

Developed by the same team behind the Yomawari horror game series, Hono-gurashi no Niwa is also slated to have horror and jumpscare moments that will be triggered when the player breaks specific taboos in the Kagatsu Village. But to assure those who are against horror elements, the team is also implementing the optional Safe Livelihood Mode.

For additional reference, the original promotion trailer for Hono-gurashi no Niwa is available here. Be advised that this trailer has a horror jumpscare moment when the night event is shown shortly after the 0:50 mark.

The newer trailer is available to watch right below. However, take note that YouTube has applied auto-translation features to this Japanese video, so it might play with auto-dubs if your site language is set to English.
