Accompany Nico, a War Veteran, in His Journey
In Sunset Hills, you step into the shoes of Nico Grant, a novelist with a past as a war veteran. Set in the year 794, Nico embarks on a poignant journey by train to reconnect with his former comrades, Ferruccio, Doug, and Roy, seven years after the war's end. Driven by an inner need to rekindle these bonds, Nico's story unfolds as a tapestry of emotions and memories.
As a child, Nico was introverted, more engrossed in literature than in social interactions, often retreating into the realms of his imagination. The war thrust him into a harsh reality where his small stature and unique nature made him a target for bullying. Yet, Nico found solace in writing, using a small notebook as his emotional refuge. This notebook not only helped him cope but also became the catalyst for friendships with his squadmates, turning initial teasing into lasting bonds.
Now a successful writer, Nico's travels take him across various cities and countries by train. Each stop presents new puzzles and moments to explore, allowing players to delve deeper into Nico's world.
