October at alphatribe island is a sprawling village where houses are people! This is quite a crowded little place with lots of inhabitants, busy fetching water from two wells, admiring fountains, hanging around, gossiping, and generally enjoying the lovely Autumn afternoon. A granddad is telling some tall tales to his granddaughters - but they are sort of hidden, so you will have to look for them. A young man is having a sad episode by the sea - thankfully, he has a cat for company! A bunch of mutinous scarecrows is having a confab in a field. A flotilla of toy ships is chugging by. And the villagers are conscious of keeping the place neat and tidy - so you will encounter some very respectable folk wielding brooms against the onslaught of fallen leaves.

Oddly Japan

Oddly Japan’s Rain Village is a living echo of a world inspired by Naruto, but it tells its own story. The rain never quite stops here. It gathers on steel rooftops, drips from cables strung between towering structures, and reflects a skyline shaped by conflict and survival. Neon glows through mist. Paper lanterns flicker against cold metal. It feels like a hidden village that endured too much and refused to fall. It’s built to be seen. Every corner is photographic, every angle a frame. Wander the alleys, cross the high walkways, watch the rain from above, or just exist here with friends. A train cuts through the silence. Shops hum quietly. Beneath it all, something pulses in the dark.
