Cocone Corporation (Headquarters: Setagaya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Mai Ishiwatari; hereinafter 'Cocone') announced that its latest title, 'LIVING with LIVLIES: A What-If World' (hereinafter 'LIVING with LIVLIES'), officially launched on Thursday, May 7, 2026.
■ Expanding from 'Livly' to a New Experience in a What-If World
This title is a game-like app featuring the mysterious creatures 'Livly' from the pet-rearing and avatar app 'Livly Island,' beloved by 14 million people.
'Livly Island' was originally a browser version (service ended 2003-2019) enjoyed by over 1 million users, which Cocone renewed as a smartphone app in July 2021. It is now enjoyed by over 14 million owners worldwide.
'LIVING with LIVLIES,' released this time, is the latest app centered around Livlies, yet it unfolds a world different from previous 'Livly Island' titles and offers a new experience called 'apocalyptic slow life.'
■ Discover Your Own Way of Life: 'Apocalyptic Slow Life'
In 'LIVING with LIVLIES,' players become 'Tamashii' (souls) without physical bodies and build a life in an apocalyptic world with Livlies created through alchemy.
The basic cycle involves borrowing the body of a self-generated Livly to explore the outer world, collect necessary materials for life, and enrich one's base.
■ Creating a Partner to Live With: 'Livly Generation'
Livlies are artificial creatures created based on alchemy, mysterious beings that eat insects and excrete jewel-like droppings. In this title, you can enjoy a new relationship with Livlies, 'exploring the world by becoming one with a Livly.'
In 'LIVING with LIVLIES,' a human Tamashii can possess a Livly to control it, making Livlies a partner in the apocalyptic world. The 'Livly Generation' feature in this title allows players to freely adjust body color, patterns, part positions, and sizes to create their preferred Livly. This 'Livly Generation' feature received high praise in a prior closed test.
Also, within the 'House,' which serves as your living base, you can care for your Livlies by feeding them and collecting their jewel-like droppings.
■ 'Exploration' with a Board Game Feel and 'Item Crafting' with Alchemy
Exploration is characterized by its board game-like controls, requiring no difficult action operations. Players can enjoy various exploration styles at their own pace, such as strolling while enjoying nature, collecting materials necessary for life, and sometimes engaging in life-or-death battles with monsters.
Combining materials collected during exploration, you can also craft items such as clothes and furniture.
Furniture and decorations for your base 'House' can be placed freely. Players' avatars, 'Tamashii,' can also enjoy dressing up freely by combining face parts and clothing items.
Instead of a 'gacha' format, the process of choosing desired items and crafting them one by one is also a characteristic of 'LIVING with LIVLIES.'
*Some items are available via in-app purchases.
■ Enjoying an Evolving Life
As you continue your life in the apocalyptic world, new possibilities will emerge. Your base 'House' will also grow larger, allowing you to live with more Livlies.
Cocone aims to inherit the charm of Livlies cultivated in 'Livly Island' while offering new ways to play that are not bound by conventional frameworks through this title.
We, the development staff, are committed to providing the unique 'apocalyptic slow life' experience of 'LIVING with LIVLIES,' where you coexist with Livlies you've created, gather materials, arrange items, and cherish the quietly flowing time.
■ Presenting Support Items for a New Life Start
To commemorate the official launch, a release記念プレゼントキャンペーン (release commemorative gift campaign) is currently underway for a limited time, where you can receive in-app currency, materials, and other items. Please take advantage of these support items to aid your new life in the apocalyptic world.
