Nursery Rhyme

Synthesized from 2 Yomimono stories · updated 1h ago

The Nursery Rhyme name now covers two distinct video game projects announced within two weeks of each other. Lump of Sugar launched a crowdfunding campaign on June 26 for a re-production of its 2005 bishoujo game Nursery Rhyme, the studio's debut title. The project targets a Nintendo Switch and PC release, with funding goals determining whether the result is a remaster at 100% or a full remake at 500%. The company cited the original's age and lack of modern support as the reason for the revival effort.

Separately, Idea Factory revealed Sullyland Nursery Rhyme, a dark fantasy original IP for Nintendo Switch that launches October 1. In the game, players control a protagonist who must save townspeople by playing a life-threatening game called Night Lessons, guided by a talking stuffed animal named Shiro. Gameplay alternates between daytime festival preparation and nighttime survival. No connection between the two projects beyond the shared name has been stated in available coverage.
