Pre-registrations for the eagerly awaited Sunset Hills kicked off back in February, and now CottonGame has officially announced the release date. Mark your calendars for June 5th, when you can embark on Nico's poignant journey on both Android and iOS devices. This painterly point-and-click adventure game promises a cozy atmosphere intertwined with a deeply emotional narrative, delving into themes of war, memory, and healing. Every detail in this beautifully crafted world beckons you to explore further.
In Sunset Hills, you step into the shoes of Nico, an author and an anthropomorphic pup, as he takes a train ride through a stunningly illustrated post-war landscape. The cities and countries you visit are not just scenic backdrops; they are filled with vibrant characters, haunting ghosts of the past, and puzzles that gradually unravel Nico’s story.
While the game's art style exudes warmth and charm, the narrative gently uncovers layers of loss, resilience, and human connection. Through conversations with former comrades, memory sequences, and encounters with adorable dogs, you'll experience a story that is both heartwarming and poignant. As you delve deeper, the boundaries between past and present will increasingly blur.
Throughout your journey, you'll gather clues, solve intricate puzzles, bake treats, and even evade pursuers, all while exploring Nico's reflections on war and identity. The puzzles are designed to be accessible with point-and-click mechanics, ensuring a smooth experience. Sunset Hills has been optimized for mobile play, featuring intuitive touch controls, a clear and readable UI, and support for controllers.
