"Sunset Hills: A Dog Veteran

Sunset Hills, the latest puzzle game from Cottongame, the creators of Reviver and Mr. Pumpkin Adventure, invites players into a serene, pastel-colored universe. This enchanting world is filled with vintage cityscapes, humanoid dogs, and touching narratives that are sure to captivate fans of the genre.

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 unfolds in June 794, as Nico embarks on a poignant train journey to reconnect with his fellow ex-servicemen, Ferruccio, Doug, and Roy. It has been seven years since the end of the war, and a deep-seated need drives Nico to revisit these bonds forged in the crucible of conflict.

As a child, Nico was introverted, more drawn to the world of books than to socializing, often lost in the realms of his imagination. The war, however, thrust him into a harsh reality where his small stature and uniqueness made him a target for bullying and isolation. Yet, amidst the chaos, Nico found solace and expression through writing. His little notebook, initially a subject of ridicule, eventually became the cornerstone of his friendships with his squadmates, transforming their teasing into lasting bonds.

Now a published author, Nico's journey takes him across various cities and countries by train. At each stop, players dive into his past and present, engaging with puzzles that unravel his story and memories.

Sunset Hills Shows That Life after War Is Strange
