Sunset Hills, the latest puzzle game from Cottongame, the creators of Reviver and Mr. Pumpkin Adventure, invites players into a soft, pastel-colored world. This enchanting setting is filled with vintage cityscapes, anthropomorphic dogs, and touching narratives that pull at the heartstrings.
Accompany Nico, a War Veteran, in His Journey
In Sunset Hills, you step into the shoes of Nico Grant, a novelist and former soldier. Set in June 794, Nico embarks on a poignant train journey to reconnect with his fellow ex-servicemen after seven years since the war's end. Driven by a deep-seated need to reconnect, Nico seeks out his old friends Ferruccio, Doug, and Roy.
The game delicately unravels Nico's emotional journey and past memories. As a child, Nico was introverted, more drawn to the world of books and his own imagination than to socializing. Thrust into the war, his small stature and uniqueness made him a target for bullying and isolation. Yet, Nico found solace and resilience in writing, using a little notebook as his emotional outlet. This same notebook became a surprising bond with his squadmates, transforming initial teasing into enduring friendships that persisted long after the war.
Now a published author, Nico's journey takes him through various cities and countries by train, where each stop presents new moments and puzzles to solve.
