Sunset Hills is the latest puzzle game to hit Android, brought to you by Cottongame, the creative minds behind Reviver and Mr. Pumpkin Adventure. In keeping with their signature style, this game unfolds in a soothing, pastel-colored universe, teeming 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. Set in June 794, Nico embarks on a train journey to reconnect with his wartime comrades. It has been seven years since the war's conclusion, and a compelling inner drive leads him back to his friends Ferruccio, Doug, and Roy.
The game delicately unravels Nico's emotions and memories. As a child, Nico was reserved, preferring the company of books to people, often lost in the realms of his imagination. Conscripted into the war despite his small stature and uniqueness, he faced bullying and struggled to keep pace. Yet, Nico found solace and strength in writing.
His little notebook, initially a personal escape, became a vital link with his squadmates. What began as playful jests evolved into enduring friendships that transcended the war's end. Now a published author, Nico's journey takes him across cities and countries by train, blending travel with puzzle-solving at each stop.
Sunset Hills Shows That Life after War Is Strange
Sunset Hills is a point-and-click adventure where every conversation can unlock new clues. Players will pick up and combine items, solving puzzles that range from locating essential objects to aiding characters, unraveling minor crimes, or evading pursuits. The game also includes unique activities like sewing clothes, baking bread, 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 the game's enchanting world, watch the trailer below.
