I’ve been putting off playing the demo because I didn’t want the anticipation for the final game’s release to kill me. But oh my god I should have played this when I first downloaded it two years ago. What immediately drew me in was the art, the style is so whimsical and gorgeously perfect for the slice of life genre. I was then hooked by the quirky introduction to the main cast, which I immediately fell in love with and would continue to fall further in love with as the story progressed. All of the characters have their own charm, are each lovable in their own way, and feel like living breathing people. I felt myself relating to B a lot and began cheering them on as I progressed in the game. By the end of the demo, I was honestly not expecting to cry, but that last conversation with B and C really got me. This game was such an experience to play and I will wait patiently for the final game release. Amazing work, I can’t wait to see where their story ends.
Thank you so so much for your very kind words! You have no idea how much that means to us. While we've made some significant shifts in both the story-telling and art in the final release, we hope that regardless of the changes you will enjoy the full story when it's out! ♥♥♥
amazing game! I love the visuals and the story, there are some bugs which I'm not sure if its just for me, when I got to the part where Hikaru gives you a gift, I had full inventory and so I had to toss some items, but when I clicked toss it didn't toss for me, I kept reopening the game and it was still the same, so I had to start from the beginning. Aside from that, there weren't any problems, the story is great and I will download the full release as soon as its out
Thank you so much, we're so happy you liked the demo and are willing to support the full release ❤ And we apologize about the bugs, other people have commented about separate problems before and we'll definitely make sure to iron out all the issues in the final product ^^
waahh i love this game! The clear style, the presentation, the art, the characters- it's all so fun. You can feel the love seeping through every little detail. The fact that game mechanics push the player to become MORE immersed like buying stuff with a budget is so smart and fun. I ended up doing a bunch of little silly things for these characters and audibly reacting to stuff. Like I bought a strawberry drink for C and got disappointed she didn't drink it and yelled at myself for not saving an orange when sho started dancing. It's absolutely amazing how quickly I fell in love with these characters and I can't even pinpoint how exactly it was done but I loved every second of it. aughhaghdhg the story- its been a while since I've played but the demo ending is still fresh on my mind, it was relatable and the sort of bittersweetness people can't help but try to smile through GRGRG the way B's mental illness is written is such a breath of fresh air and something I find so accurate in its subtly of lifestyle. The game shows you how many times she's cooked ramen in the past and that's so cool like I paused and just looked at it for a little bit like WOW THE PPL BEHIND THIS ARE SO COOL its never woe is me I'm so depressed I hate myself I hate everything it's just. numbness and exhaustion. And I really appreciate that. The self pitying depiction of mental illness is a drag to go through and doesn't feel realistic to me at all I relate to B a crazy amount with the way she goes through her days, it feels very genuine ykwim? I don't want to write a whole essay about how lovely I find this game so I'll just cut it short here even though I want to praise this game to the moon and back, I can't wait to see what the final game will be like.
SBHDJSABH Wow, thank you so much for your kind words!
Seriously, we really appreciate hearing that, especially that our depiction of B's depression in particular feels accurate to you~ That's something we're really striving for!
That said, whenever we receive this much praise for our demo we always feel obliged to mention how much the game's changed in the final version (a lot!) We can only hope it will still be refreshing and enjoyable for you, albeit in a somewhat different way.
Again, thank you, and we really look forward to hearing your final thoughts when everything's said and done💕
i remember playing this a bit a month or two ago but my progress wasnt saved, ive been playing for about 3 hours right now and i love it so much, the artwork is beautiful & the story is amazing so far! i'm not usually a fan of visual novels but tomorrow will be dying has a real chokehold on me! i cant wait for the full release <33
Hey, I just wanted to let you know i’ve been following y’all’s progress for almost a year since i came across Sunny Side Up, and I really look forward to seeing the updates on how the game is going! Keep up the good work, and I can’t wait to buy the game whenever it is finished!
i feel realy silly asking this but how do u save game?? theres no how-to on the loading screen and i dont want to have to keep skipping to the part im at by spam clicking and remembering all the options i made 😓😓
Hello! You can save when the notebook becomes available. You'll find the save tab in there. We get asked that a lot, we should really put it on the page somewhere. (It'll be very different in the final release)
Hello, if you're on PC, is everything from the downloaded zip file in one folder before you start the game? It should look like this: If that doesn't help, let me know. Thanks!
Don't worry about your English, everything's coming across clearly :)
From the error, it seems like the 'txt' folder isn't in the right spot. If so, that would allow the game to start normally but you would not be able to go any further than the start menu, like you described.
Can you make sure everything's in the folder like in the screenshot?
Can't really think of anything other than that, so I'm really hoping that's all there is to it ><
played the demo last year & recently replayed it! i’ve never had a game hit me so hard before, it feels so nostalgic & comforting :) beautiful art, characters, & story! also love love love the gameplay. i’m so excited for the full version!
(ps just curious: were you ever considering opening a merch shop after release? w/ stuff like the charms, posters, etc. from the kickstarter or anything else!)
It's always nice to hear the game is still effective on a replay ^^ Thank you so much for your exceedingly kind words, we're so glad you're excited for this!
As for the store: yes, we're definitely considering finding some avenue to sell merch following release (depending on demand and reception of the game probably), though to what extent and capacity we have no idea. Thanks!
Hello there! I haven't played the demo because I want to go in blind, but will you be releasing the full game on other platforms like steam? Excited for the release!
We're so glad to hear you're interested in the game! And honestly it's good that you're holding off on trying it out, as the demo is two-three years old with most of the content warped around as per the little warnings we left on the game page. It's quite a different beast!
Yep, we plan to release on Steam, though that's the only other platform planned for now. Thank you! ❤︎
I just started playing this today, and I love it--the art style is just immaculate and SO SO pretty!! And not to mention the character designs are just off the charts. I just have a small problem. I play on mac, and after completing a chapter, I acidentally quit the application and was unable to recover my progress!! [Thankfully I had just finished the first chapter-thing so I could skip the start] Is there any way to save progress? Thank you so much ^^
Hello there, so glad you're enjoying the demo so far, thank you so much for your kind words!
Sorry to hear you lost so much progress, especially since the demo doesn't have a functioning skip feature! Saving can be done once the notebook becomes available. There's a little green save tab you can click on inside of there.
Honestly, I'm not sure why we didn't throw in a tutorial for that (it's a very common problem, and so easy to miss!), so that's definitely a priority for the full release. Hope you end up enjoying the rest!
Love this one a lot so far. I'm usually not big on visual novels but this one felt like it captivated me from the very start. I'd write novel but others have said it better than I already ♥
One note, there was bug after (shrine) where I went into laptop and tried the slime game - but it only kept playing the animation and I couldnt get out of the screen :(
Also I noticed that in some dialogue one person referred to char as "he" and then other char referred as "she". Not sure if it was intentional or not.
Also maybe for future, the save/load feature might be good to have bit more clear indication. Maybe I skipped the tutorial on it tho.. oops..
Thank you for the kind words, we're glad you've liked it so far! ❤︎
As far as I can remember, there isn't really a tutorial for saving in the demo, which would explain why it's such a common issue for people, aahaha... We'll take all everything into account for the full version; thanks for taking the time to inform us!
(As for the "he", "she", thing that was intentional ^^)
I've played so many visual novels, games with amazing plot, and amazing art! Although...this is the game that stuck with me the most. Something about is feels so nostalgic and I'm loving it. The art is beautiful, the story line is absolutely outstanding. I'm so for the gameplay. I can practically feel the love and effort put into this game. I can't wait for it to be fully released <3 Aaaaaaa
I'm talking about the game style as well as the art. But damn this game is so much better than the game I'm referring to. The plot is rlly long and good, i wonder how this is free. I can't believe this is a demo though??? I can't wait for the full release.
That's really strange! This issue will (sadly) likely still be there for the full version, so it'd be good if we got the demo to work somehow, but I couldn't really think of any other way to fix it other than those steps...
That said, since the full version will be very different and also not free, we'll seriously consider releasing a newer demo at release time so that we can try to work through these issues together before you make your decision to buy. Hoping we'll be able to make it work then!
i'm not being kind! this is actually amazing, i love visual novels with all my heart, i have played a lot of visual novels! but this is... different i feel passion on the characters, each one have some problems or something alike, but they keep up. It's amazing! thank you for your hard work Team robo <3
I absolutely love this! The artstyle, the music, the writing, evrything! I just have a question, what do the names A B C and N stand for? Every other character has a normal name so i'm asumming it wasn't randomly chosen. Anyways i love it, gotta be my favorite visual novel. So excited for the full game
Thank you so much, that really means the world to us!! We hope the full game doesn't disappoint <3<3 As for the names, it's not a major plot reveal or anything but you'll learn the reason eventually in the full story! ^^;;
you can really tell how much work has been put into this! the art is amazing and the color usage ties it together so well. The music and story line makes it feel so sad but its a comforting sad, like you know things aren't gonna go how you want them to in life but it feels good to indulge in the moment. I think this is one of the best art and animation styles I have ever ever seen in a game, I mean you even made a feature that moves the picture with the mouse in the settings. You can tell someone has really poured their heart into this and it makes it so much more...just...AMAZING. This game will be in my head for years even after you finish it and that's when i know you have made an impact on me <3
ps. this music is awesome and if there is anywhere i can listen to it in my spare time please tell me! :)
Wowow thank you so much for the extremely kind words!! As much as our vision for the game has changed since the release of the demo, it still means a lot to us to hear that it can make an impact on the player 💗 We hope the full game will be able to live up to expectations!
As for the music, we had the soundtrack as a part of a Kickstarter award tier, but we may consider putting it on Youtube after the full game's release ^^
This was a really sweet demo! I did notice a couple of minor typos ("who's" rather than "whose" comes to mind) but those can obviously be ironed out. I also felt some tonal whiplash in a couple parts, but those moments were easily overshadowed by some great scenes that nailed the mark, like the scary stories and the ending heart to heart.
Avidly looking forward to the full release! Obviously the Kickstarter has finished, but is there any other way to support this game? I think it's an awesome project. Best wishes!
Aaa thank you so much, that is so kind of you 💕 Rest assured, we'll be doing a lot of ironing out, both grammar-wise and story-wise! The full version is actually shaping up to be almost entirely different from the demo structurally, so we're definitely hoping it'll all mesh together better in the end. Time will tell!
As for supporting us, for now the most we could ask of you is to try it out when it finally releases ^^ Appreciate it!
Thanks for the reply. I will be on my toes awaiting the full release, then! I'm not super surprised to hear that things are shaping up differently than in the demo, because that's just how these things go.
Honestly, I was a bit confused to see all the life sim elements in the demo, since their existence implies a sizable chunk of game time where the player is free to make diverging choices, but it seemed at odds with the heavily railroaded visual novel narrative the game was telling in the demo, especially with all the gorgeous unique art that accompanied it. Obviously, these factors didn't end up being relevant in the demo (although you could interact with them a little), but they make me very interested in finding out what this game's end product will be.
Game is great, wholesome art style, catching plot, amazing soundtracks and interesting message, but I was wondering, is there a way to skip dialogues, and if there isn't, have you thought about adding such feature? I forgot to save my game...
Oh nooooo, sorry to hear that! We unfortunately couldn't implement a skip feature in time for the demo but that's definitely a top priority for the full version. Regardless, we're so glad you've enjoyed it so far; thank you for the kind words!! 🥰
how do you save this game? im on macbook and i want to make sure i can save it before getting right into it, i've tried so much times but i just don't know how
Okay, making sure you're on the "Extended" Demo, there'll be a notebook tutorial eventually past the dream sequences, after which you should be able to access the notebook. Hope that helps!
hi there! loving the game so far, but had an error where i tried to click on the backpack at the very beginning of the episode and a coding error popped up. is there anything i could do to fix this?
We're so glad you managed to find a workaround! A big thanks for informing us too, we'll make sure to look out for that error as we continue development.
I just discovered your game and already finished the extended demo, I normally dont comment but I gotta say that the vision and potential your game has won my heart! I love everything about it so far and now I follow your more recent updates on it and just I love the high visual and music quality it holds, it's like youre making a full on anime hehe I am officially a fan ;w;, I will just be here patiently waiting for it's full release, good luck to you guys!
Waiting patiently for the full game to be on steam. On your twitter account, it says that the estimated release will be on "Q3 2022". Was just confused and wondering about the 'Q' meant.
Also, how long have you been working on this game?
Thank you for your patience! Q3 refers to the third quarter of the year, meaning July, August or September. Again, just an estimate but we'll do our best to fulfill it!
It's been about two years since we've started working on this game, which is faaar longer than we ever anticipated. We really hope you'll enjoy it once it finally comes out (✿◡‿◡)

how to back in kickstarter
Hi there! The Kickstarter ended a while ago, but thank you so much for your interest!

Are there any plans on adding new voice works to the game?
Nothing as of now, but we can't say we haven't dreamed about it... Ultimately depends on the success of the release!
If you can fulfill those dreams, you can reach out to me as I do good quality voice acting.
yayy thank you! It'll be quite a while still, but hope it'll be worth the wait!
Hey, I just wanted to let you know i’ve been following y’all’s progress for almost a year since i came across Sunny Side Up, and I really look forward to seeing the updates on how the game is going! Keep up the good work, and I can’t wait to buy the game whenever it is finished!
Awww this is so sweet (T_T) Thank you very much for your interest in both SSU and TWBD, we really appreciate it!! 💞
I'll be waiting for the full release~ Looks so pretty!
Thank you so much! We hope the full game won't disappoint (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)
The game's art style looks gorgeous; Also, I have to say, the plot sounds exciting ~
Ahhh thank you very much, you're too kind! 💗💕
literally best game ever
Aww, that's so sweet, thank you! we really hope you end up liking the full game as well~! (/ω＼)

This game is absolutely beautiful, no words can explain my love for this already. I cant wait to see more!
Aaa thank you so much! <3<3
The artstyle, the writing. This is so beautiful I can't wait for the full game. It really seems like you guys poured your hearts out to this game ♡
Aaaa you're too sweet, thank you!! It always makes us happy to hear that people can feel our passion through the game 🤍
i love this game so much ♡, thank u

Aaaaa this is so nice, thank you very much!! We hope that the full game lives up to your expectations ♪(^∇^*)
Amazing game, I'm so speechless. Also, this game reminds me of Purrfect something?? it's a mobile game, i wonder Team Robot is somehow related to it?
Thank you so much!💕 While we're not sure what you're referring to, this is our first and only game project, and the only one we've been involved with!
I'm talking about the game style as well as the art. But damn this game is so much better than the game I'm referring to. The plot is rlly long and good, i wonder how this is free. I can't believe this is a demo though??? I can't wait for the full release.
I'm in love with the demo and i'm SO excited for the full game ♡.♡ there's any way to support this project and the team before it released?
Thank you so much! Just buying the full game once it's out is more than enough support for us <3
When i try and download it always says 'File is damaged' how do i fix this? (Im on mac btw)
Hello there! It's a little bit troublesome, but the only way to get around it as far as we're aware is by following the steps found in this link: https://help.yoyogames.com/hc/en-us/articles/216753558-Mac-app-damaged-when-downloaded-from-the-internet
Hope that helps, thank you!
Ahhh it didn't work :(
I hope i wont run into this when the full game is released , i really want to try it
That's really strange! This issue will (sadly) likely still be there for the full version, so it'd be good if we got the demo to work somehow, but I couldn't really think of any other way to fix it other than those steps...

I found a way to play it! I download the itch app and download it from there it works
Ah, well that's an unexpected fix for it, but we're superglad to hear you got it working! We really hope you end up enjoying it :D
I didn't expect this much from this game!
The story was really wholesome and I love the art style of the game so muchh
I like the way you introduced the backstory as the game went instead of saying it all at the beginning.
This game is definitely worth playing, and I can't wait for the next game update! :)
Thank you so much for the kind words!! We hope it'll be worth the wait (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)
Its worth of waiting
Ah, we're glad you think so; thank you for your patience! We really hope it will be worth the long wait!
i'm excited for this! keep your good work y'all! thank you for this amazing visual novel!
Aaa you're too kind, thank you! 🥰
i'm not being kind! this is actually amazing, i love visual novels with all my heart, i have played a lot of visual novels! but this is... different i feel passion on the characters, each one have some problems or something alike, but they keep up. It's amazing! thank you for your hard work Team robo <3
ILL TAKE YOUR ENTIRE STOCK
!!(*/ω＼*)!!
so lovely :) so excited
Yaaay, thank you!!! ♪(´▽｀)
I absolutely love this! The artstyle, the music, the writing, evrything! I just have a question, what do the names A B C and N stand for? Every other character has a normal name so i'm asumming it wasn't randomly chosen. Anyways i love it, gotta be my favorite visual novel. So excited for the full game
Thank you so much, that really means the world to us!! We hope the full game doesn't disappoint <3<3 As for the names, it's not a major plot reveal or anything but you'll learn the reason eventually in the full story! ^^;;
you can really tell how much work has been put into this! the art is amazing and the color usage ties it together so well. The music and story line makes it feel so sad but its a comforting sad, like you know things aren't gonna go how you want them to in life but it feels good to indulge in the moment. I think this is one of the best art and animation styles I have ever ever seen in a game, I mean you even made a feature that moves the picture with the mouse in the settings. You can tell someone has really poured their heart into this and it makes it so much more...just...AMAZING. This game will be in my head for years even after you finish it and that's when i know you have made an impact on me <3
ps. this music is awesome and if there is anywhere i can listen to it in my spare time please tell me! :)
Wowow thank you so much for the extremely kind words!! As much as our vision for the game has changed since the release of the demo, it still means a lot to us to hear that it can make an impact on the player 💗 We hope the full game will be able to live up to expectations!
As for the music, we had the soundtrack as a part of a Kickstarter award tier, but we may consider putting it on Youtube after the full game's release ^^
This was a really sweet demo! I did notice a couple of minor typos ("who's" rather than "whose" comes to mind) but those can obviously be ironed out. I also felt some tonal whiplash in a couple parts, but those moments were easily overshadowed by some great scenes that nailed the mark, like the scary stories and the ending heart to heart.
Avidly looking forward to the full release! Obviously the Kickstarter has finished, but is there any other way to support this game? I think it's an awesome project. Best wishes!
Aaa thank you so much, that is so kind of you 💕 Rest assured, we'll be doing a lot of ironing out, both grammar-wise and story-wise! The full version is actually shaping up to be almost entirely different from the demo structurally, so we're definitely hoping it'll all mesh together better in the end. Time will tell!
As for supporting us, for now the most we could ask of you is to try it out when it finally releases ^^ Appreciate it!
Thanks for the reply. I will be on my toes awaiting the full release, then! I'm not super surprised to hear that things are shaping up differently than in the demo, because that's just how these things go.
Honestly, I was a bit confused to see all the life sim elements in the demo, since their existence implies a sizable chunk of game time where the player is free to make diverging choices, but it seemed at odds with the heavily railroaded visual novel narrative the game was telling in the demo, especially with all the gorgeous unique art that accompanied it. Obviously, these factors didn't end up being relevant in the demo (although you could interact with them a little), but they make me very interested in finding out what this game's end product will be.
Do your best! I will root for you folks.
Game is great, wholesome art style, catching plot, amazing soundtracks and interesting message, but I was wondering, is there a way to skip dialogues, and if there isn't, have you thought about adding such feature? I forgot to save my game...
Oh nooooo, sorry to hear that! We unfortunately couldn't implement a skip feature in time for the demo but that's definitely a top priority for the full version. Regardless, we're so glad you've enjoyed it so far; thank you for the kind words!! 🥰
how do you save this game? im on macbook and i want to make sure i can save it before getting right into it, i've tried so much times but i just don't know how
Sorry for the late reply! Saving's in the Notebook, which you can find by hovering your mouse in the top right corner. (It's not always available)
what can i do if a can't see the notebook i have the same problem but im on windows.
Hmm, it should show up during non-CG events (when the Backpack is visible) if you stick your mouse in the top-right corner. Have you tried that?
i have tryed that but could it be that im traing to save the 1st demos story?
Okay, making sure you're on the "Extended" Demo, there'll be a notebook tutorial eventually past the dream sequences, after which you should be able to access the notebook. Hope that helps!
hi there! loving the game so far, but had an error where i tried to click on the backpack at the very beginning of the episode and a coding error popped up. is there anything i could do to fix this?
How strange! We're unfamiliar with this issue so we'll run through the basics. Are you on PC, or Mac? Have you tried re-downloading the game?
i'm on pc, running windows 10. i think running it through the itch.io desktop application instead of downloading it directly actually fixed the issue!
thanks so much for your quick response - i'm loving the game so far!
We're so glad you managed to find a workaround! A big thanks for informing us too, we'll make sure to look out for that error as we continue development.
fantastico i love the charaters and the way it works like cooking interreacting and such, great game!
Much appreciated, thank you! 🥰
I just discovered your game and already finished the extended demo, I normally dont comment but I gotta say that the vision and potential your game has won my heart! I love everything about it so far and now I follow your more recent updates on it and just I love the high visual and music quality it holds, it's like youre making a full on anime hehe I am officially a fan ;w;, I will just be here patiently waiting for it's full release, good luck to you guys!
Aaa that is so heartwarming, thank you!!! We're so glad that you like it so far and we'll do our best to make the wait worth it ^^
I can already tell this is going to be so good
That's so flattering, thank you QvQ!
Waiting patiently for the full game to be on steam. On your twitter account, it says that the estimated release will be on "Q3 2022". Was just confused and wondering about the 'Q' meant.
Also, how long have you been working on this game?
Thank you for your patience! Q3 refers to the third quarter of the year, meaning July, August or September. Again, just an estimate but we'll do our best to fulfill it!
It's been about two years since we've started working on this game, which is faaar longer than we ever anticipated. We really hope you'll enjoy it once it finally comes out (✿◡‿◡)
Okay, thank you for letting me know! :D
Damn two years, and of course I will enjoy it! I enjoyed the demo so of course I will enjoy the full version!
