Xbox Game Pass continues to offer a variety of engaging games this month, with the latest addition being “Minami Lane,” a charming mini business simulation game set in a quaint Japanese-style town. This indie title, co-developed by Doot and Blibloop, provides a relaxing life simulation experience that players can enjoy in just a few hours.
Released across multiple platforms in August 2024, “Minami Lane” invites players to manage various shops along a street filled with traditional Japanese charm. Players can run a ramen stand, a milk tea shop, a bookstore, and a flower boutique, all while building friendships with the town’s diverse residents. Understanding their preferences helps players strategically plan store types, stock popular items, and set competitive prices to attract customers and revitalize the small town.
The game is now available for free to Xbox Game Pass subscribers, adding a cozy and strategic option to the subscription’s diverse lineup. For those interested in a brief yet fulfilling simulation experience, “Minami Lane” offers a perfect afternoon escape.
