About the Game

In a world where living disasters have eradicated people’s homes, the protagonist sets out on a journey with Hounimal, the village guardian, to restore homes to the world.

Collect and Place Furniture

Obtain various pieces of furniture during your journey and place them in Hounimal. The actions you can choose in battle will change depending on the furniture. (Of course, you can also enjoy them as interior decorations!)

Simultaneous Turn-Based Command Battles

A unique command battle system where turns progress simultaneously with the enemy. Strategically link commands using randomly obtained resources and control the action order to lead your Hounimals to victory. If you're lost, you can pause the action and take your time to plan!

Rebuild Your Base

Unlock features that give you an edge in your journey using magic nails obtained on your adventures. Draw out even more of your Hounimals' power.
