Rakuen

Rakuen is an adventure game about a boy living in a hospital. He asks his mother to take him to the fantasy world from his favorite storybook, where he hopes the Guardian of the Forest will grant him a wish. To earn it, he must help his hospital neighbors by meeting their alter-egos in the fantasy world and completing challenges tied to their lives.

The hospital and its stories

The boy’s neighbors each face their own struggles. An irritable old man guards a broken music box and complains that nobody visits him; a young woman lies in a coma while her husband stays by her side; and a little girl grieves for a friend she never got to say goodbye to after becoming ill. As he learns about their unfinished business and helps them, the boy discovers that their troubles are mysteriously connected to the hospital.

Helping your neighbors

You explore each character’s life, collect items and build friendships to gradually make the hospital a better place. In the fantasy world, you also take on humorous quests for strange creatures.

Puzzles and music

Rakuen is a non-combat adventure that combines whimsical dungeons, eerie room-escape puzzles and dialogue-based mysteries tied closely to the story. Its original soundtrack includes multiple vocal songs associated with individual characters.
