Sunrise City

Sunrise City blends three distinct gameplay pillars into a cohesive experience: turn-based combat, narrative investigation, and dating sim romance. You play a Battle section student at the prestigious Onyx Academy, aspiring to become an investigator. When mysterious disappearances plague Sunrise City, you're drawn into uncovering the truth while balancing academy studies, romantic pursuits, and personal relationships.

The combat system uses deck building mechanics—a choice that sets it apart from typical visual novels that treat battle sequences as interstitial obstacles. This means your loadout and strategic card choices matter, creating genuine stakes during confrontations tied to your investigation. Between battles, you'll gather clues and pursue leads while the dating sim elements let you develop relationships with various characters. The developer has structured the narrative to respect player agency; your investigation progress and romantic choices seem to genuinely shape the story's direction rather than following a predetermined track.

Adult content is present but integrated into the broader romantic narrative rather than isolated from it. Sunrise City positions intimate scenes as natural extensions of your relationships, maintaining a mature tone that complements the mystery-driven plot. The game contains 7+ hours of content across its current build, with development ongoing—the latest complete version (1.1.7) reached Wednesday part 2 as of May 2026, indicating this is an actively updated project.

Technically, the game runs on Unity and is available for both Windows and macOS, with English and French language support. The developer provides a demo (version 1.1.0a, "Troubles in Block C") so you can test the mechanics before committing to the full experience. Performance appears stable based on the multi-platform release.
