"Sunset Hills: A Novelist

Sunset Hills, the latest puzzle game from Cottongame, the creators of Reviver and Mr. Pumpkin Adventure, invites players into a serene, pastel-colored world filled with vintage cityscapes, anthropomorphic dogs, and touching narratives. This new Android game continues the tradition of its predecessors by offering a visually soothing and emotionally engaging experience.

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 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 rekindle these bonds, Nico's journey is as much about healing as it is about nostalgia.

As a child, Nico was introverted, preferring the company of books and his own imagination over social interactions. The war forced him into a world where his small stature and unique nature made him a target for bullying. Yet, 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 deep friendships with his squadmates, friendships that endured beyond the battlefield.

Now a published author, Nico's travels take him across various cities and countries by train. Each stop presents new puzzles and moments to explore, allowing players to delve deeper into Nico's life and the world around him.

Sunset Hills Shows That Life after War Is Strange

Sunset Hills is a point-and-click adventure where every conversation can provide crucial clues. Players will engage in activities ranging from item collection and combination to solving minor crimes, escaping chases, and even participating in creative tasks like sewing, baking, and performing with a band.

The game's aesthetic is a delightful blend of hand-drawn art and 3D scenes, with Victorian-inspired architecture adding to its charm. To get a glimpse of this enchanting world, check out the trailer below.

If Sunset Hills piques your interest, you can download it from the Google Play Store.
