"Sunset Hills: A Novelist's Journey Through Puzzles"

Sunset Hills is the latest puzzle game to hit Android, brought to you by Cottongame, the creative minds behind Reviver and Mr. Pumpkin Adventure. Staying true to their signature style, this game unfolds in a soothing, pastel-colored universe filled with vintage 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 story begins in June 794 as Nico embarks on a train journey to reconnect with his fellow ex-servicemen. It's been seven years since the war concluded, and a deep-seated need drives Nico to seek out his old friends: Ferruccio, Doug, and Roy.

The game delicately unravels Nico's emotions and memories. 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 uniqueness made him a target for bullying and isolation. Yet, Nico found solace in writing, using a small notebook as his emotional outlet. This notebook not only helped him cope but also became the foundation for deep bonds with his squadmates, transforming initial teasing into lasting friendships.

Now a successful writer, Nico's journey takes him across various cities and countries by train. Each stop presents new moments and puzzles to solve, immersing players in Nico's ongoing story.

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 item collection and combination, solving puzzles that range from locating the perfect item to assisting others, solving minor crimes, or evading pursuers. The game also includes unique activities like sewing, baking, and even performing with a band.

The visual style of Sunset Hills combines hand-drawn art with 3D scenes, featuring Victorian-inspired architecture that adds to the game's charm. To get a glimpse of the game's atmosphere, check out the trailer below.
