Rakuen is a 2017 adventure video game, created by Laura Shigihara. It was built using the RPG Maker XP engine and released on May 10, 2017. It is a sprite-based exploration game, in which text boxes serve as the primary conduit for communication.[2] The name "Rakuen" is translated from Japanese as "paradise." The game is currently available for Mac OS X, Linux, and Windows.
The game has an estimated run time of around 10–12 hours and is completely free of combat.
On May 10, 2022, the fifth anniversary of the game's release, Shigihara announced on her live Twitch channel that the game was in the process of being ported to mobile operating systems. A Nintendo Switch port, developed by Leeble Forest, was released on March 23, 2023.[3] A direct spinoff, Mr. Saitou, was released on March 24, 2023.
