About This Game





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.
• Master the art of farming.
• Explore local resources.
• Build your dream home.
• Care for your animals.

Use modern technology to balance time between your new farm life and joining the local community.

With a focus on individuality, SunnySide is full of creative freedom and self-expression.
• Create your main character.
• Build anything, anywhere, on your own plot of land.

Move at your own pace and follow your own path. The best way to play is whatever way makes you the most happy!
• 113 crops to grow.
• 27 Characters to befriend.
• Hundreds of cooking and foodcraft recipes.

• Hose watering!
• Container and Raised Bed Gardening.
• Sustainable energy generation
• Drip tape watering systems.

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.
• Master food craft machines including dehydrators, milk separators, cheese kettles, fermentation barrels, canners, and more.
• Dry your own seeds, tea, and animal feed.
• Cook up your own artisan tofu.
• Ferment beer and soy sauce.
• Press your own oils.
• Bottle, jar, and package your goods to sell for a higher price.
• Sell to local businesses, to shops in the city, or at the Farmer’s Market on weekends.





After a thousand year old sassy survey drone named Sparky rescues you from a cave in, you’re tasked with helping this new companion retrieve their lost memories and complete the last mission they remember: learn more about humans.
• 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.

Disclaimer: SunnySide is a Farm Sim with no watering cans, shipping containers, gift-based socializing, mayonnaise machines, marriage, children, or a hotbar crowded with tools.
