Capybara Village

Capybara Village is basically «what if life was just about being a capybara in a peaceful village?». You play as a capybara who moves to a serene town and your days are spent exploring, finding items, selling them to local shops and customizing your character and house with new costumes and furniture. The gameplay loop is super simple and relaxing, you go on these little explorations to gather stuff, then you can deck out your pad or your wardrobe. It's pure coziness for the soul.

The presentation is impressive considering it was made in just 3 days, the pixel art is charming and the UI is kinda impressive, it makes the village feel alive and inviting. Since the developer reused music and fonts from his previous games, the soundtrack has a lo-fi feel that matches the peaceful tone. It's the kind of game you'd play lying with a snack, just vibing.
