Merry Bunny Garden

Released October 8, 2025 on Steam and Nintendo Switch, Merry Bunny Garden is the action spin-off from Japanese studio qureate, riding the wave of goodwill built by the original Bunny Garden, a Very Positive rated dating sim that became a genuine hit in Japan. The formula shifts here, instead of bar-counter conversations players get a comedic walking-escort game, guiding bunny-girl hostesses Hana, Rin and Miyuka home after they have had far too much to drink, dodging obstacles and nighttime hazards through the city streets. Once home, the game moves into a series of lighthearted bedtime mini-games, stretching routines, skincare, a relaxing bath, all delivered with qureate's trademark exaggerated, self-aware humor.

This is where the game commits fully to its ecchi label, skimpy outfits, embarrassing mishaps and constant innuendo carry nearly every scene, all inside an 18+ rating the developers themselves describe as non-explicit, with the Steam version notably less censored than the Nintendo Switch release due to platform policy. Outlets like Automaton West covered it as a risque bunny girl game precisely because of this calculated balance between broad comedy, unmistakable fanservice and the total absence of pornographic content. The result is a small genre experiment that lands as goofy before it lands as provocative, and it cements qureate's place as one of the most consistent, recognizable studios working the independent ecchi lane in Japan through 2025.
