About the Game

Game Name: As Sweetberry Falls

Tagline: Your every click brings this world closer to its end.

【About This Game】

As Sweetberry Fallsis a unique blend of town-building, card-based strategy, and philosophical thriller narrative. You are a back-end game developer, testing a virtual world called "Battisteri," only to find yourself becoming the "Masked Lord" of its idyllic town, Sweetberry. However, your very existence is the deadliest virus—every plan you make, every building you construct, irreversibly accelerates the world's collapse.

Your goal is no longer salvation, but to witness, make choices, and seek the last glimmer of civilization's endurance within an inevitable tragedy.

【Features】

■ Observer as Polluter: A Subversive Town-Building Experience

  • Experience the unique core mechanic of the "Observer Effect": all your construction efforts boost the town's prosperity, but they also accumulate Corruption Points, unleashing supernatural disasters and distorting the laws of reality. You must navigate this delicate balance with strategic planning.

■ Deep Strategic Card Play

  • Use a variety of cards with different functions for constructing, upgrading, purifying, or exploring. Manage your hand wisely to face increasingly severe challenge

  • The core mechanic, "observe to corrupt," is deeply integrated into every aspect of the design. Every click, every action to build brings prosperity, but it also secretly accumulates Corruption Points, triggering supernatural disasters and reality distortions. This sense of fate—where construction leads to destruction—imbues every decision with emotional weight and strategic depth.

  • Breaking away from traditional simulation management, we introduce a core "anti-growth" system. You must manage Corruption Points, walking a fine line between "development" and "restraint." Every building upgrade carries the risk of "mutation," forcing you to seek survival in a perilous balance, delivering a deeply challenging and strategic experience.

■ A Slowly Unfolding Sci-Fi Tragedy

  • Immerse yourself in a profound story inspired by the works of Philip K. Dick and H.P. Lovecraft. The world is not doomed by malice, but by an unintentional act of "observation."

  • Gradually uncover the truth of the world of Batistelli, as the story confronts philosophical themes like the "Observer Effect," existentialism, and the "Creator's Paradox." You will meet the tragic guardian, the "Old God," and ultimately face your own role in the fate of this world. Multiple thought-provoking endings will leave you reflecting long after the game is over

■ Victorian Era Poetry and the Bizarre

  • Explore a beautiful world that blends Victorian aesthetics, steampunk, and Ghibli-inspired artistry. Yet beneath this cozy surface, the eerie "Black Blight" silently spreads, whispering the secrets of the world. In ordinary times, you'll participate in the town's folk activities, experiencing its last bursts of vitality and energy before the end draws near.

  • On the surface, it's a cozy animal town simulation with hand-drawn illustrations, but at its core lies a hard-hitting sci-fi tragedy about the survival of a world. Experience unprecedented narrative tension in the extreme contrast between the "sweet" and the "corrupt."

【Key Systems】

  • • Dynamic World: Building "Pollution Level" affects exploration and event success rates, adding depth to your decisions.

  • • Rich Questlines: A main story drives the grand narrative, while long chain NPC quests delve into the world's lore and characters.

• High Replayability: Multiple endings ensure your strategic choices impact not only survival time but also the final outcome of the story.
