Sunset Hills, the latest puzzle game from Cottongame, creators of Reviver and Mr. Pumpkin Adventure, invites players into a beautifully crafted, pastel-colored world. Set amidst the charm of old city buildings and populated by humanoid dogs, the game weaves heartwarming stories that capture the essence of life's journey.

Accompany Nico, a War Veteran, in His Journey

In Sunset Hills, you step into the shoes of Nico Grant, a novelist and war veteran. The story unfolds in June 794 as Nico embarks on a train journey to reconnect with his fellow ex-servicemen, Ferruccio, Doug, and Roy, seven years after the war's end. Driven by an inner need to reconnect, Nico's journey is as much about rediscovering friendships as it is about healing old wounds.

Nico's character is deeply layered; as a child, he was introverted, more drawn to the solace of books than social interactions, often lost in his own world of imagination. The war thrust him into a harsh reality where his small stature and unique nature made him a target for bullying. Yet, through it all, Nico found solace and strength in writing, using a small notebook as his emotional outlet. This notebook not only helped him cope but also became the foundation of his friendships with his squadmates, transforming initial teasing into bonds that endured beyond the battlefield.

Now a published writer, Nico's travels take him across various cities and countries, each train stop presenting new moments and puzzles to solve. Sunset Hills masterfully blends Nico's past and present, inviting players to delve deeper into his emotional journey.

Sunset Hills Shows That Life after War Is Strange

As a point-and-click adventure, Sunset Hills emphasizes the importance of dialogue, where conversations provide crucial clues. Players will engage in a variety of activities, from picking up and combining items to solving puzzles that range from finding the right object to assisting others, solving minor crimes, or even escaping chases. The game also includes unique tasks such as stitching clothes, baking bread, and performing with a band, adding depth and variety to the gameplay.

Visually, Sunset Hills stands out with its hand-drawn art combined with 3D scenes, creating a visually appealing world.
