Editions, prices and system requirements
Base game at $49.99, the Artbook and Soundtrack at $9.99 each, what the Deluxe bundle actually contains, and both PC spec tiers in one table.
The base game is $49.99. The Touring Kagatsu Artbook is $9.99 for 31 pages and the soundtrack is $9.99 for 38 tracks across two discs, and both are in the Deluxe bundle.
One game, two paid extras and a bundle. Prices below were read from Steam on 28 October 2026; none of them were discounted at the time.
Prices
| Item | Price | What is in it |
|---|---|---|
| Village in the Shade | $49.99 | Base game |
| Touring Kagatsu Artbook | $9.99 | 31 pages of key visuals, character and animal designs |
| Sounds from the Shade OST | $9.99 | 38 tracks across two discs |
| Deluxe Edition | Bundle price | Base game, artbook and soundtrack together |
The Deluxe Edition is a bundle, so Steam prices it against what you already own. If you own nothing, it is the cheapest way to get all three; if you already own the game, it "completes the set" and charges only for the missing pieces.
The artbook
31 pages, and the store page carries a spoiler warning: it contains character and story material you may not want before finishing. Buy it after the credits, not before.
The soundtrack
38 tracks across two discs, composed by Kazuya Takasu and ZIZZ STUDIO, who have worked on a long list of Nippon Ichi Software titles. The store description frames it around the same nostalgia the game trades in, and it is the one extra that does not spoil anything.
Paid DLC: Spring 2027
Nippon Ichi has announced paid DLC for Spring 2027, described as new mechanics, scenarios, maps and events. No price has been announced. It is not part of any current bundle.
PC requirements
| Minimum | Recommended | |
|---|---|---|
| OS | Windows 10/11, 64-bit | Windows 10/11, 64-bit |
| CPU | Intel Core i5-6400 | Intel Core i5-12500 |
| RAM | 8 GB | 16 GB |
| GPU | GeForce GTX 750 Ti | GeForce GTX 1650 |
| DirectX | 11 | 11 |
| Storage | 9 GB | 9 GB |
Those specs are modest, which matches the game: it is a hand-painted 3D village, not a benchmark title. The performance page covers what to change if it still runs rough.
Is anything else sold?
No microtransactions, no currency packs, no season pass. The game ships complete, with two free content updates already delivered. If you see a key reseller claiming otherwise, it is not from the store listing.
What to buy first
