I never expected to see “I got reincarnated… as a hamster!” as the opening words of a game’s description on Steam. After crossing that dread threshold, I certainly didn’t expect to see a banner on the same page warning me about “frequent nudity or sexual content.” But here we are: grass grows, sun shines, and Sweet Hamster Days is planned to release in Q3 of this year.

This is the second time the game has announced a release date, however, as things went south the first time around (thanks, Automaton). As the developer posted on X in late 2025, Sweet Hamster Days was pulled from Steam “due to various circumstances” before its original release window of winter 2025. It will release on Epic Games Store and DLsite as well.
