## What is Akari Night Market?

Lantern Street, a row of food stalls by the river. Ten years ago the Great Lantern went out, and the night market faded away.
With your grandmother's notebook in hand, you become an apprentice Lightkeeper and set out to light up the street once more.

■ Light makes the path
Customers only walk where the light reaches. Place lantern posts and stone lanterns to link up the street at night.

■ Read the wind, arrange your stalls
The scent of each stall drifts downwind, and scent that flows out past the gate draws in people from beyond the street. During Evening Prep, before you open, rearrange your stall carts to suit tonight's wind. Mix spicy with sweet, and…?

■ Fans and paper lamps
Through the night, press and hold a stall to fan its scent, and set paper lamps in the dark to guide customers. Act fast when evening showers, sudden gusts or pan fires strike.

■ Memory dishes
On rainy nights, misty nights, late at night — people come looking for a taste from their past. Listen to their stories and bring a remembered dish back to life.

■ New sights at every festival
Lantern floating, dragon dances, sky lanterns. Each time your Lightkeeper rank rises, nights on Lantern Street grow livelier. You can bring light back to the town, too.

■ A notebook of customers
The more you sell, the more your notebook fills in: when each customer comes and what they like. Some rare customers appear only when the conditions are right: late on a foggy night, under your rain cover in a sudden shower, when the wind blows west…

■ Pass on the light
After the finale, spend spare money preparing the next generation, then start a second playthrough with everything you prepared. Can you reach the Lantern Festival sooner than last time?

■ A night drawn in pixel art
Lantern glow, reflections on the river, steam and fireworks. A finely drawn pixel-art night market that is lovely just to watch.

Play up to chapter two free. The full game (a one-time purchase) includes the Lantern Festival, its ending, the story through Part Two, "The Lightkeeper's Ledger", and a second playthrough after the finale. Nothing sold in the game gives you an advantage.

- Strategic stall placement based on wind direction

現代のアプリでは珍しい、ほっこりした気持ちになれる空間です。刺激を求めてどんどん夢中になるアプリより、ほっこり癒されて心が満たされるゲームの方が好きなので、このゲームの穏やかな世界観や、プレイしているだけで心が落ち着く雰囲気がとても気に入りました😊

**Developer response:** あたたかいレビューをありがとうございます！ 急かされずに、眺めているだけで心が落ち着く夜市にしたいと思って作っているので、穏やかな世界観を気に入っていただけてとても嬉しいです。 まもなく出る 1.4 では、夜市が立体の箱庭になり、提灯の灯りが石畳や川面を照らすようになります（メニューの「描き方」で、今までの絵にも戻せます）。これからも、のんびり灯りをともしにきていただけたら嬉しいです🏮
