"Sunset Hills: A Novelist

Sunset Hills, the latest puzzle game from Cottongame, the creators behind Reviver and Mr. Pumpkin Adventure, invites players into a serene world painted in soft, pastel hues. Set amidst quaint old city buildings and populated by humanoid dogs, the game weaves heartwarming narratives that captivate from start to finish.

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 game begins in June 794, as Nico embarks on a train journey to reconnect with his fellow ex-servicemen after seven long years since the war's end. Driven by an inner need to rekindle old bonds, Nico seeks out his friends Ferruccio, Doug, and Roy.

As the story unfolds, it delves deep into Nico's emotional journey and his past memories. As a child, Nico was introverted, preferring the company of books and the vast realms of his imagination over social interactions. Drafted into the war despite his small stature and unique nature, he faced bullying and struggled to keep pace. Yet, Nico found solace in writing, using a small notebook as his outlet. This notebook not only helped him cope but also became the foundation of lasting friendships with his squadmates, transforming initial teasing into bonds that endured beyond the war.

Now a published writer, Nico's travels take him across various cities and countries by train. Each stop presents new moments to explore and puzzles to solve, enriching his journey and deepening the narrative.
