SunnySide

SunnySide is a farming and homestead game set in an aging post town in the heart of the Japanese countryside. After buying your first plot of land, you build a home, grow crops, care for animals and decide how to spend your time between farm life and the local community. You can create your character, build anywhere on your own plot and customize your phone and drone.

Farm and build

Grow 113 crops, explore local resources and use modern systems to manage your homestead. These include hose watering, container and raised-bed gardening, sustainable energy generation, drip-tape watering and bulk animal care. You can build your home and farm at your own pace, with a focus on creative freedom and self-expression.

Turn crops and animal goods into food and other products using machines such as dehydrators, milk separators, cheese kettles, fermentation barrels and canners. Dry seeds, tea and animal feed; make tofu, ferment beer and soy sauce, and press oils. Bottle, jar and package goods to sell for a higher price to local businesses, city shops or at the weekend Farmer’s Market. The game includes hundreds of cooking and foodcraft recipes and a realistic economy.

Meet the community

Get to know 27 characters, learn about their lives, support their businesses and spend time around town and in the city. You can form bonds, attend events and pursue romance. The residents have their own personalities, histories, motivations and needs, and their stories connect with one another. You can experience events from multiple perspectives and decide how involved you want to be in themes including family trauma, failed relationships, guilt, blame and aging.

Sparky and the caves

After a thousand-year-old, sassy survey drone named Sparky rescues you from a cave-in, you help them recover their lost memories and continue their last remembered mission: learning more about humans. Explore mysterious caves together, help Sparky investigate human nature and join them on a journey of self-discovery. The caves also feature a cozy, card-based battle system.
