Accompany Nico, a War Veteran, in His Journey
In Sunset Hills, you step into the shoes of Nico Grant, a novelist and war veteran. It's June 794, and Nico embarks on a poignant journey by train to reconnect with his fellow ex-servicemen, Ferruccio, Doug, and Roy, seven years after the war's end. Driven by a deep-seated need to rekindle old bonds, Nico's quest unfolds through layers of emotions and memories.
As a child, Nico was introverted, preferring the company of books and the realms of his imagination. The war thrust him into a harsh reality where his small stature and uniqueness made him a target for bullying. Yet, Nico found solace in writing, using a small notebook as his emotional outlet. This notebook not only helped him cope but also served as a bridge to forming lasting friendships with his squadmates.
Now a published writer, Nico's journey takes him across various cities and countries, each train stop presenting new puzzles and moments to explore. Sunset Hills masterfully blends Nico's past and present, offering players a rich, narrative-driven experience.
