Welcome to Sunnybrook is a first-person survival horror game set in a wealthy vacation community during the 1990s. You play as a burglar who arrives in Sunnybrook to steal valuables from houses whose owners are away. What begins as a series of break-ins changes when dinosaurs suddenly appear and attack the residents. The neighborhood becomes dangerous, and your objective shifts from collecting valuable items to escaping the area alive. The game combines exploration, burglary mechanics, stealth, and encounters with prehistoric predators.

Breaking Into Houses

At the beginning of the adventure, you explore residential properties and search for valuable objects. You can enter buildings through doors, windows, and other openings. Some areas are secured, requiring you to pick locks, crack safes, or disable security devices. You must examine rooms to locate items worth stealing and find ways to access restricted spaces. These activities introduce the exploration mechanics before the situation in Sunnybrook changes.

Surviving the Dinosaur Attacks

Once dinosaurs begin roaming the community, avoiding detection becomes the main challenge. Your character does not have weapons for fighting these creatures, so direct confrontation is not a reliable option. Instead, you must use stealth, hiding places, and movement to survive.

During the game, you need to:

•         Explore houses and other buildings.
•         Pick locks to access secured areas.
•         Open safes and collect valuables.
•         Disable security systems during burglaries.
•         Hide from dinosaurs and avoid their patrol routes.
•         Search for a safe way out of Sunnybrook.

The environment includes residential streets, a school, local businesses, and other locations. As you travel between them, you must watch for predators and avoid attracting their attention. Buildings can provide temporary shelter, but moving between locations may expose you to danger. If a dinosaur notices your character, escaping or finding somewhere to hide becomes necessary. Since there are no weapons to rely on, survival depends on observing threats and choosing appropriate routes.

Exploration and Main Objective

Welcome to Sunnybrook follows a story about an attempted burglary that turns into a struggle for survival. The game does not focus on combat upgrades or defeating dinosaurs. Instead, progression involves exploring the community, overcoming obstacles, and finding a route to safety. Different buildings provide opportunities to search for items and avoid predators. The adventure is structured around the changing situation in Sunnybrook rather than a traditional series of numbered levels. Your final objective is to escape the community without being caught by the dinosaurs. Reaching safety brings the main storyline to its conclusion.
