Showa Candy Shop 2

Erleben Sie Nostalgie mit einem japanischen Twist in diesem bewegenden Spiel.

Back by popular demand! The sequel to Showa Candy Shop!

Experience nostalgia with a Japanese twist in this moving game.

Uncover the story of a small, old-fashioned candy shop in rural

Japan with this leisurely game. Raise the reputation of your tiny

shop, and build a collection of retro Japanese toys!

Collect amusing snacks and toys such as Yoogurt, a Glowing

Skeleton, and the Pickled Plum as you discover the things

that brought a smile to the face of every little boy and girl in Japan!

The story unfolds bit by bit with every item you collect, and is sure

to keep you playing until the very end! We have also added a

(completely free!) capsule toy machine that we think you'll find just

as pointless as any you've ever tried—but you won't be able to stop!

So come on in!

This little candy shop just received a huge shipment of junk, and

somebody's got to buy it!

Did we say "buy"? Don't worry, we won't charge you a single cent

for any of it. Check back each day to play through the entire story

free of charge! The candy shop is always open, waiting for you

to stop by for a refreshing snack!

■The Story

Welcome to an inconspicuous street corner in Showa-era Japan.

All of Tokyo is positively buzzing ahead of the 1960 Olympics,

but this little nook is home to an unassuming candy shop run by

a sweet, unassuming old woman.

As yet another day comes to a close, she watches the setting sun

bathe Tokyo Tower in a soft glow and reflects.

A lot happened today—some of it good, and some of it not.

Join this sweet old woman on her journey, and experience a bygone era.

A lone trumpet scores the sunset as she writes a letter...but to who?

Marbles, Balls, and Balloons...

Gooey Candies, Seasoned Seaweed, and Kaleidoscopes...

These are halcyon days.

No smartphones, no internet distractions. Just peace, solitude,

and a summer break that stretches out endlessly before you.

This is the exceptional story of an ordinary old woman.
