Merge Manor : Sunny House

Developed by CookApps, Merge Manor: Sunny House is a prominent entry in the casual merge-and-renovate puzzle space. Combining item synthesis mechanics with narrative-driven home design, the game follows Sunny, a young woman who returns to restore her family's historic estate. Players clear overgrown gardens, repair grand fountains, renovate interior rooms, and restore public city spaces while uncovering a multi-generational family mystery.

The core gameplay centers on a two-dimensional grid board. Players combine identical lower-tier items to generate higher-tier objects along defined item trees. For example, seeds merge into saplings, which evolve into flowering plants, while basic hardware merges into sturdy gardening tools and construction equipment. Fulfilling requested item orders completes task contracts listed in Sunny’s notebook. Completing contracts awards stars and coins, which are spent to remove debris, replace structural elements, paint walls, and place customized furniture across various zones of the mansion grounds.

CookApps distinguishes Sunny House through deep social features and dynamic side-events. Players can join in-game clubs to chat, trade energy points, and request items from club members. The game also incorporates recurring themed side-events—such as the Lemon Event—which function as standalone mini-games required to earn the substantial gold currency needed for late-game renovations. Visually, the title features clean isometric graphics and charming character animations. While the game supports offline play and provides a rewarding visual transformation loop, mid-to-late game progression requires significant energy expenditure and currency grinding, encouraging careful resource management or optional in-app purchases.
