Back in 2017,Rakuenwas a pixel art, combat-free RPG which mixed serious themes with cute, fantasy characters and songs. We adored it.

“Mr. Saitou is a short game about an average white-collar worker who struggles to find meaning in a life full of constant overtime and social isolation,” accordingto the Steam page. “After an accident lands him in the hospital, Mr. Saitou is spirited away to a strange fantasy world where an unexpected friend takes him on a life-changing adventure.”
Rakuen could take around ten hours to play through if you did everything, but Mr. Saitou will “usually be completed in one sitting.”
Aside from Rakuen and Mr. Saitou, Shigihara is also a game composer, best known for work on To The Moon,Deltaruneand for singingZombies On Your LawninPlants vs. Zombies.
