About Hisato no Saku
It's a time of war.
All the young people are gone away to fight. Among the elders left in the village, only Hisato is willing to stand guard at the gate. In this time of unrest, many people are traveling, homeless, or looking for work. Hisato must decide who to permit and who to refuse. There is only one month before the snows come. The village must store up enough food to last the winter, but will Hisato last another night?
In this light Role Playing adventure, guide Hisato through each night guarding the gate. Every stranger admitted to the village joins the community- for good or ill. The fate of Hisato and the village is up to YOU!

I was looking forward to this based on cool art style and hoped for a chill game similar to "papers, please" So far it's delivering on my expectations. The gameloop is somewhat random, and there aren't so many 'stranger' types I've encountered, so it seems fun to replay but not infinitely so (and FWIW the slow text scroll to end each night can't be skipped). Update: I've had no issues since the developer's first update. It runs as expected and is a fun 20-40 minute challenge I still haven't beat. Recommended.5 found this helpful
A quick, fun, and replayable experience. I failed pretty quickly on my first playthrough, but on my second I made it all the way to the end and did fairly well with my food stores and my village survived the winter. Thinking I had it all figured out, I played again a couple days later and was not able to achieve the same success again, failing a number of times, and making it to the end once but without enough food stored for my whole village. There are a lot of little details to pick up on for strategy, and then of course there is some luck involved as well. I hope to eventually make it to the end with a village population that is actually happy but I have a feeling that will take some time.2 found this helpful
Fun little adventure - haven't played a game that challenged me to figure out what to do like this in a while! Love the big mood from the music and art, especially the samurai movie drums when a big foe appears. I'm still not sure what to do to keep the poor fella alive, tbh, but it's fun to try!1 found this helpful
An interesting idea with good art and music, but the encounters get repetitive almost immediately and the combat is so basic that I wish it wasn't there at all. The story is also extremely minimal, which isn't really what I was hoping for from a game that describes itself as a light role playing adventure. I don't think it's bad, especially not for $5, but it's not for me.1 found this helpful
Lovely game! Very fun to try out different styles of play with.
Fun lil gb style rpg/resource manager! Quick to pick up and play, with interesting and unique mechanics.
