The game
A mystery under the Brazilian sun
Sunny Trails is a cozy turn-based RPG. The sun goddess Amaterasu, the storm god Susanoo, and the moon god Tsukuyomi travel to a paradise island in southern Brazil for a grand celebration of deities from around the world, and arrive to find every guest petrified.
To solve the mystery, you'll explore hand-drawn landscapes inspired by the island of Florianópolis, meet characters from Brazilian folklore, and face mythical creatures in battles that reward thinking over reflexes. Between battles, life is gentle: fish in crystal waters, cook meals that power up your team, and decorate your seaside camp.
Around 70% cozy, 30% RPG: welcoming if you're new to turn-based games, satisfying if you love them.

The island
Where Japanese mythology meets Brazilian folklore
The island of Sunny Trails is not a generic tropical backdrop. It's a love letter to Florianópolis and the Azorean culture of Santa Catarina, documented for decades by folklorist Franklin Cascaes: the witch tales of Itaguaçu, the benzedeiras, the rhythm of the fishing villages.
This fusion reflects something real: Brazil is home to the largest population of Japanese descent outside Japan. When Amaterasu shares a table with island witches, when Susanoo tries pirão for the first time, two cultures that already live side by side finally meet in a game.
The soundtrack follows the same idea: original bossa nova and baião compositions that you won't hear anywhere else in gaming.
Handcrafted. No AI.
Every character, every animation frame, every illustration, and every song in Sunny Trails is the work of human artists. That's a promise on the box.
