Nichijou , better known in Robloxia as the My Ordinary Life series is a series of RPGs that originally started in 1997 as a short game on the Gamaboi. The series was created by Keiichi Arawi and Ro-HAL Laboratory. All of the games in this series have been Bloxtendo console exclusives.

The most recent game is “Nichijou PART 21”, which is going to be released in September 2028 for the Bloxtendo Switch 2.

Premise:

The series is about three girls, Mio, Mai, and Yuuko, in a post-apocalyptic Neo-Japan as they go through their everyday lives in a high school setting. One day, there is a zombie virus that infects Robloxians. There is chaos going on in their school as there are zombies in their school, so they begin fighting the zombies by using the power of "friendship", even though the main three girls hate each other, and with the assistance of other characters (Makoto Sakurai, Annaka, Ms. Sakurai and other uninfected characters).

Funfacts

  • The series' best selling game is "Nichijou 8".
  • There is a manga based on it that started in 2006.
  • The series went on a hiatus between 2017 and 2020.
  • It has a spinoff called "CITY", which stars three different characters who are in college (though the "zombie apocalypse" part is absent from the spinoff.)
  • One of the main characters (Yuuko) was originally voiced by Masahiro Sakurai using a high-pitched voice (her voice was edited). In Nichijou 11, Yuuko is voiced by a different female Robloxian who never had her voice edited.
  • A character who looks like Kazuma from KonoSuba appears in the eighth game, “Nichijou 8” (2014), as a NPC.
  • The menu theme in Robloxia, officially titled “Peeker Polka” by its composer, Kevin RocLeod, became popular in the early 2010s and is said to have shaped modern meme culture.

Random stuff.

Here are the differences between the Neo-Japanese and Robloxian version version of the menu theme from the first game.
