Press release:
Manchester, United Kingdom – August 16, 2024.
The Manchester-based (the UK) indie games publisher & developer Merge Games and UK/US-based indie games developer RainyGames, are today very happy and thrilled to announce that their “Persona” inspired farm & life sim “SunnySide“, is now available for consoles (PS5 and Xbox Series X/S) via digital stores.

From cosy cave card-based combat, heartwarming romance, and modern farming techniques, SunnySide has it all.

Players might not be prolific farmers – yet – but with over a hundred different crops and neighbours who are always eager to assist, farming will feel like second nature in no time! This modern spin on the traditional farming sim offers more than just shovels and watering cans, as players also have access to a plethora of modern appliances to streamline their farm.

Time flies when getting settled in, decorating a new home, and shopping for the latest goods, but there is always time for romance! Maybe love can bloom while planting crops, browsing the stalls, or even over a shared dinner.

And just as players can customise their character to perfectly represent their vision, the residents of SunnySide have their own personal preferences, so only time will tell if love will blossom too.

If the thrills of the heart are not sufficient, players can also attempt to uncover what lies beneath the idyllic surface of SunnySide. The caves are filled with mysteries, and only the bravest farmers would dare to uncover them.

In SunnySide, even the biggest city dwellers will turn into gardening aficionados. So take a leap of faith, move to the idyllic Japanese countryside and create your dream farm supported by the lovely SunnySide locals.

Inspired by the Persona games and Harvest Moon, SunnySide is the perfect summer game for fans of Animal Crossing and Boyfriend Dungeon who are looking to start a new adventure!

Check it out now on Playstation, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X. Following on from today’s launch, physical versions are also out now for PlayStation 5, available at all good retailers, including Signature Edition Games!
