Where the Bees Make Honey is an adventure puzzle game starring a woman named Sunny. As Sunny reflects back on her childhood, the gameplay shifts from first-person to an isometric view, as she determines what do to with her life. Some of the childhood sections look reminiscent of Captain Toad as Sunny navigates around cube-like levels. Puzzle designs and gameplay shifts and changes along with the seasons, including arcade-style racing and stealthy sections.
The title is a reference to Sunny wearing a bee costume as a child. The game focuses on the imagination we have as children playing, and nostalgia for those moments.

This allows the player to experience a profound sense of nostalgia as they recall, or replay, memories alongside Sunny.”
