You’ve just purchased your first plot of land in an aging post town in the heart of the Japanese countryside. Now, it’s up to you to create a homestead you can be proud of.

A proper homestead is self sufficient, and your home in SunnySide is no different. Elevate your crops and animal goods into artisanal food craft and sell to local stores to help support the economy.

• Help Sparky determine the nature of humans.
• Join Sparky on a mission towards self discovery.
• Explore the mysterious caves together and team-up in a cozy card-based battle system





The best part of living in the country is becoming part of a community.
• Enjoy unique hang outs with the residents of SunnySide.
• Listen to their stories and witness their lives.
• Form bonds, attend events, build a life, and maybe even find someone special to share your days with.



While a quiet life in the countryside is nice, SunnySide isn’t perfect. The locals have distinct personalities, histories, motivations, and needs… but their stories are interwoven with each other’s lives. It’s up to you to determine how involved you want to be.
• Experience stories from multiple perspectives.
• See how people’s lives impact each other.
• Explore complicated themes like family trauma, failed relationships, guilt, blame, aging, and much more.





• Experience innovative gameplay that finally modernizes the classic Farm Sim.
• Join the established community of SunnySide and build relationships with its many inhabitants.
• Express yourself with deep customisation in character creation and building your homestead.
• Use your time to chase your interests and truly express yourself.
• Enjoy a unique and cozy battle system as you explore the caves beneath SunnySide.
