About Dong-Jin Rice-hime(東津萌米)
Dong‑Jin Rice‑hime is a rice‑growing simulation that blends adventure storytelling with sandbox farming. Developed by STORIA and SimonCreative, with the story scripted by Cheng‑Heng, the game launches on Windows and offers both a story‑driven campaign and an open‑ended simulation mode. The title features an opening animation, ten original tracks by composer 3R2, and Steam Trading Cards. Players return to a family farm, care for a “rice‑hime,” and shape her personality through in‑game choices.
01 / THE GUIDE
Story Mode
In Story Mode, you play as a rookie farmer returning home after studying away. The narrative begins with a father’s admonition, “Take good care of her,” and the traditional “NO WORK, NO EAT” ethos.
Your decisions influence the rice‑hime’s traits—energetic, gentle, tsundere, or cynical—creating a personalized storyline that unfolds alongside daily farm chores.
- Observe how early choices affect later dialogue to anticipate personality shifts.
- Compare outcomes from different decision paths to see how the rice‑hime’s character evolves.

Simulation Mode
Simulation Mode removes narrative constraints, letting you focus on cultivating rice and managing the farm at your own pace. There is no scripted story progression, only the mechanics of planting, tending, and harvesting.
The mode shares the same visual and audio assets as the story campaign, including the opening animation and soundtrack, providing a consistent aesthetic experience.
- Experiment with planting cycles to discover optimal growth patterns.
- Use the same visual cues from story mode to gauge crop health.
