Sunset Hills is the latest puzzle game to grace Android devices, brought to you by Cottongame, the creators behind Reviver and Mr. Pumpkin Adventure. Like its predecessors, Sunset Hills immerses players in a captivating world bathed in soft, pastel colors, teeming with historic cityscapes, anthropomorphic dogs, and touching narratives.
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 game opens in June 794 as Nico embarks on a train journey to reconnect with his fellow veterans—Ferruccio, Doug, and Roy—seven years after the war's end. Driven by an inner need to rekindle these bonds, Nico's adventure unfolds.
The narrative delicately explores Nico's past, revealing his introverted childhood where books and imagination were his sanctuary. The war thrust him into a world where being different made him a target for bullying and isolation. Yet, Nico found solace and connection through his writing. A small notebook, initially a source of ridicule, became the cornerstone of enduring friendships with his squad.
Now a published author, Nico's journey spans various cities and countries, with each train stop offering new moments and puzzles to solve. Sunset Hills takes players on an emotional and intellectual journey, weaving storytelling with gameplay seamlessly.
Sunset Hills Shows That Life after War Is Strange
As a point-and-click adventure, Sunset Hills emphasizes the importance of dialogue, where conversations yield vital clues. Gameplay involves collecting and combining items, solving puzzles that range from finding the right object to aiding characters, solving minor crimes, or evading pursuit. Players will also engage in unique activities such as sewing, baking, and performing with a band.
The visual style of Sunset Hills combines hand-drawn illustrations with 3D scenes, featuring charming Victorian-inspired architecture. To get a closer look at the game's enchanting world, check out the latest trailer below.
