Ikigai : One Tiny Life

ADD TO WISHLIST >

You are Iki, a tiny fey creature.
Your life begins and ends in the span of a single day.
And it's going to be wondrous, full, inspiring, romantic, adventurous, dramatic, joyful, sad ... meaningful.
You are going to be born, grown up, mature, grow old and eventually pass away. A full life, rich and vibrant, flowing with the hours of the day.

Ikigai is a game about finding meaning and fulfilment in the little things. It's about courage and discovery. It's about how life is transient, and how this is not a bad thing. It's about beginnings and ends, about growth and rebirth. About how grand and epic a tiny life can be.

Most people are afraid that this game could make them sad because the protagonist dies after what seems like a terribly short time.
But then they play.
And they smile.
Ikigai is a feel-good ride, getting to know a tiny amazing friend, making memories with them, watching them learn and grow, struggle and overcome. And eventually letting them go, but with a feeling of peace and joy because you got to know them, and they will now always be with you.
And then, sometimes, the end is not quite as we expect it to be...

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
