"Sunset Hills: A Novelist's Journey from Dog Army Veteran to Puzzle Solver"

Sunset Hills, the latest puzzle game from Android developer Cottongame, brings the charm and heart of their previous hits, Reviver and Mr. Pumpkin Adventure, into a new soft, pastel-colored world. Set against a backdrop of vintage cityscapes and populated by humanoid dogs, this game weaves a tapestry of heartwarming stories and emotional journeys.

Accompany Nico, a War Veteran, in His Journey

In Sunset Hills, you step into the shoes of Nico Grant, a novelist and war veteran. The story unfolds in June 794, as Nico embarks on a train journey to reconnect with his former comrades from the service—Ferruccio, Doug, and Roy. It's been seven years since the war ended, and an inner urge compels Nico to seek them out once more.

The game delves deep into Nico's psyche, unraveling his emotions and memories. As a child, Nico was a quiet soul, more enamored with the world of books than with socializing, often retreating into his vivid imagination. The war forced him into a reality where his small stature and unique nature made him a target for bullying and isolation. Yet, Nico found solace and a way to connect with others through writing. His little notebook, initially a source of ridicule, eventually became the cornerstone of lasting friendships with his squadmates.

Now, as a successful writer, Nico's journey takes him across various cities and countries by train. Each stop is not just a geographical point but a moment in time, filled with puzzles to solve and stories to uncover.

Sunset Hills Shows That Life after War Is Strange

Sunset Hills offers a point-and-click adventure where every conversation can lead to a clue. You'll find yourself picking up items, combining them, and piecing together how they fit into the larger puzzle. From locating the perfect object to aiding others, solving minor crimes, or evading pursuit, the game keeps you engaged with diverse challenges. You'll even find yourself stitching clothes, baking bread, and joining a band to progress through the story.

The game's visual appeal lies in its blend of hand-drawn art and 3D scenes, with Victorian-inspired architecture adding to its charm. To get a glimpse of what awaits, check out the trailer below.
