Nursery Rhyme

The Nursery Rhyme name covers two separate projects: Lump of Sugar's crowdfunded re-production of its 2005 bishoujo game, and Idea Factory's original dark fantasy Switch title Sullyland Nursery Rhyme, which launches October 1.

Synthesized from 3 Yomimono stories · updated Jun 29

The Nursery Rhyme name now refers to two distinct projects announced within two weeks of each other in June 2026. Lump of Sugar, the developer of the original 2005 bishoujo game Nursery Rhyme, launched a re-production project on June 26. The crowdfunding campaign will determine whether the result is a remaster or a full remake. The remaster is set at 100% funding, while a full remake requires 500% funding. The project targets Nintendo Switch and PC. The original game is difficult to play due to age and lack of modern support.

Separately, Idea Factory revealed Sullyland Nursery Rhyme, an original dark fantasy game for Nintendo Switch. A promotional video shows a talking stuffed animal named Shiro giving players a life-threatening game called Night Lessons to save townspeople. The game alternates between daytime festival preparation and nighttime survival. It launches October 1.

The two projects share a name but have no announced connection. Lump of Sugar's project is a revival of its debut title, while Idea Factory's is a new IP. The crowdfunding campaign for the re-production project will decide the scope of that revival.
