Evaluation
Sunlight launched on January 14, 2021 as an explicitly short, self-contained experience — the store description prominently states a playtime of approximately 30 minutes and frames it as a complete artistic work. The game received a minor bug fix patch shortly after launch (January 20, 2021), and then had no meaningful development activity for over two years. In August 2023, Krillbite posted about launching a Discord server, primarily using the Sunlight page to promote a demo for their new game, Fruitbus — indicating the studio had moved on to new projects. On June 6, 2025, the developer released an accessibility update adding audio descriptions and screen reader support for players with vision impairments, which is a welcome quality-of-life improvement but does not indicate new story content or a continuing content roadmap. There are no DLC listings, no announced future content, no roadmap, and no developer statements suggesting additional content is planned. The game was designed and shipped as a finished product from day one.

About this game
Sunlight is a short, vibrant and thought captivating exploration game, from the creators of Among the Sleep, Mosaic and The Plan. Journey into the uncharted forest, guided by the harmonised whispers of the trees. Each tree with different voices, genders and dialects, speaking as one.
Taking artistic inspiration from expressionist painters like Monet and Munch and focusing on a powerful 3D audio experience with breath-taking choir work, Sunlight will leave you feeling entranced and in wonder in this artistic approach to telling you a story.
Playtime: 30 minutes.
The visuals, that were hand painted using Quill, makes the experience feel like exploring a three dimensional painting.
The hauntingly beautiful music, composed by Tchaikovsky, was recorded in the Archbishops palace in Trondheim, Norway, and sung by the award winning choir Kammerkoret Aurum. Along with a wide range of voice actors spanning multiple continents, the atmospheric and meditative story comes alive.
