Sunset Hills, the latest puzzle game from Android developer Cottongame, brings the same enchanting, pastel-colored world seen in their previous titles, Reviver and Mr. Pumpkin Adventure. Set against a backdrop of vintage cityscapes and anthropomorphic dogs, the game weaves heartwarming narratives into its gameplay.
Accompany Nico, a War Veteran, in His Journey
In Sunset Hills, you step into the shoes of Nico Grant, a novelist and former soldier. The story begins in June 794 as Nico embarks on a train journey to reconnect with his fellow veterans: Ferruccio, Doug, and Roy. It’s been seven years since the war's end, and a compelling urge drives Nico to bridge the gap with his old friends.
The narrative delicately unfolds Nico's emotional journey and memories. As a child, Nico was introverted, preferring books over social interactions and often retreating into his imagination. Thrust into the war despite his small stature and differences, he faced bullying and struggled to keep up. Yet, he discovered solace and connection through writing. His little notebook, initially a personal refuge, evolved into a link that fostered friendships with his squadmates, enduring beyond the war.
Now a published writer, Nico's travels take him across various cities and countries by train. Each stop presents new moments to experience and puzzles to solve, immersing players in Nico's continuing journey.
Sunset Hills Shows That Life after War Is Strange
Sunset Hills offers a point-and-click adventure where every dialogue choice can reveal clues. Players will engage in item collection and combination, solving puzzles that range from locating specific objects to aiding others, solving minor crimes, or evading pursuits. The game also includes unique tasks like sewing clothes, baking bread, and performing with a band, adding diverse gameplay elements.
The visual style of Sunset Hills combines hand-drawn art with 3D scenes, featuring Victorian-inspired architecture that adds to the game's charm. For a glimpse into the enchanting world of Sunset Hills, check out the trailer below.
