About ZENO Daily Life
Zeno no Nichijou: a calm free browser adventure set after a big story ends — explore and talk with familiar characters.
ZENO Daily Life (Zeno no Nichijou, 2016) is a free browser adventure published by Marutoku Base. It takes place after the conclusion of a larger story: you explore a world adjusting to earlier events and talk with familiar characters, piecing together small revelations.
The pace is slow and reflective, with little action. Fan translations exist.

How to play ZENO Daily Life in your browser
- Press Play in browser — the game opens on e9116.itch.io in a new tab.
- Wait while the game files load. The first start can take from a few seconds to a few minutes depending on your connection; later starts are faster because the browser caches the files.
- Click inside the game window so it captures the keyboard and mouse, then switch to fullscreen (F11 or the host's fullscreen button).
- Open the in-game settings to adjust controls, graphics and sound. Progress is normally kept in your browser storage, so don't clear site data if you want to keep your saves.
ZENO Daily Life controls
Default layout for this browser version. Keys can differ between builds, and most hosts let you rebind them in the settings. A USB or Bluetooth gamepad usually works too.
| Action | Key |
|---|---|
| Use / interact | Left click |
| Zoom | Mouse wheel |
| Menu / pause | Esc |
What to expect from the browser version
The browser version of ZENO Daily Life is an independent web project — a port, recompilation or fan remake — hosted on e9116.itch.io. It is not an official release from Marutoku Base, and MePlayable does not host any game files: we describe the game and link to the project.
Because the game runs inside a browser tab, some features of the 2016 original may be missing or work differently: online modes, cutscenes, saves, mods and graphics options depend on the build. If something doesn't work, check the host's own notes.
Requirements
A modern desktop browser — Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Opera or Safari 16+ — with WebAssembly and WebGL enabled, at least 4 GB of RAM and a stable connection for the first load. Hardware acceleration should be switched on in the browser settings.
If ZENO Daily Life doesn't start
- Black screen or endless loading — update the browser, enable hardware acceleration and reload the page with Ctrl+F5.
- No sound — click inside the game window: browsers only allow audio after you interact with the page.
- Lag or low FPS — close other heavy tabs and programs, then lower the resolution or graphics settings in the game.
- The site doesn't open — the host may be temporarily down or blocked in your region. Try again later or use another project link on this page.
