About

Minami Lane is a small, wholesome management game set on a Japanese-inspired street. Create and manage your own street, make sure everyone is happy, and watch the villagers live their lives! Enjoy 2 to 4 hours of playtime, cute tanukis and lots of cats!

Build your street

Build homes to add villagers to your street, then improve their happiness by beautifying every inch and building a variety of shops & attractions! These include ramen shops, boba cafes, bookstores and more, each with unique inventories and effects.

Manage your shops

Attract customers with everything from floral bouquets to karaoke! Shops you create will need your careful guidance to offer the right products at the right prices. Lead them to success and make your neighborhood thrive.

Watch your villagers live their lives

Once you start the day, you'll get to see each villager react to your street and offer helpful feedback on how to improve! Memorize their preferences and refine your street the following day.

Reach your objectives

Complete missions to unlock new levels with more buildings, villager types, and other surprises.

What Minami Lane offers:

  • 2-4 hours of play time

  • Create and customize your own adorable street

  • Manage shops by adjusting their inventory, recipes, and prices

  • Play strategically to complete each level's mission objectives

  • Keep the streets clean by picking up trash

  • Tanukis and cats!

What Minami Lane does not offer:

  • Hardcore strategy

  • Multiplayer

  • Tons of missions

  • New levels after release

In Minami Lane's missions, you'll need to strategically plan each day and use elements such as random events to your advantage to complete multiple objectives.

The sandbox mode focuses on creativity and relaxation, allowing you to immerse yourself in the peaceful, cozy world without the stress of objectives.

Minami Lane is the collaborative effort of Dorian (Doot), Doriane (Blibloop) and Antoine (Zakku). Doot, a former data scientist turned game developer, brings light strategy and management gameplay, while Blibloop breathes life into the isometric world with her Studio Ghibli-inspired, hand-drawn designs. Zakku adds the finishing touches with joyful, wholesome music compositions and soundscape. We really hope you will enjoy this tiny game we made with love πŸ’•
