Akimi Village

After falling asleep (Matthew or Norah depending on who the player chooses) wakes up on a mysterious floating island. A tanuki greets the player and tells them that he will help them return to where they came from if they help him purify the Akimi village from the ever increasing gloom that is taking over the island and putting the villagers into a depression.

Akimi Village plays similar to the Keflings series by the same developer. Players harvest resources from the island either directly with their avatar or by assigning villagers to do their bidding. Resources are used to make buildings, materials, etc… The goal is to liberate the island from the gloom by building various buildings in order to increase the culture level of the village which will then let the player plant radiant trees. Radiant trees bring light to an area that was previously darkened with gloom. This opens up more land to build on and more villagers to use as they are no longer moping around due to the gloom.
