📋 About This Mod
✯ Cho Jonghyuk (He/Him)
Jonghyuk is a guarded man with a flirty grin and an enigmatic past. Despite his friendly nature and cheerful attitude, there are brief moments where his smile doesn't quite reach the eyes. Even so, the villagers view him as a reliable, sturdy figure that contributes to Sunberry's welcoming atmosphere.
✯ Spanner (He/Him)
Spanner is an orphaned ex-pickpocket from the slums of Zuzu. A seemingly innocent boy with a happy-go-lucky attitude and a disarming smile that often obscures his intelligence. He dreams of restoring dwarven technology and growing taller. He is quite sensitive about his height and works tirelessly to prove his worth to others.
Jonghyuk & Spanner are 2 separate add-on NPCs to Sunberry Village. This mod adds new locations to Sunberry, an interactive story with 20+ events, Cross-over content with additional SBV residents, Fun Minigames, an Unlockable Festival, and more. With a visual-novel style of storytelling combined with various CGs and animations, players get to live out a Webtoon.
Jonghyuk is NOW marriagable! He has exclusive marriage content unique to Sunberry with 200+ marriage dialogue. Check the Events Guide on how to marry him. Spanner is an unlockable child/young teen NPC that brings an even more cohesive experience to Sunberry. In an upcoming update, Spanner will be adoptable regardless of whether you are married or single.
