A folktale about life, loss and livestock.

Description:

Summerhill is a story-driven puzzle adventure game in which you play as a young shepherd and their dog. Work together to rescue your lost flock, and delve into the mysterious, long-forgotten world that lies beyond the borders of home. 

From the BAFTA-nominated development team behind the critically acclaimed Alto’s Adventure series, Summerhill brings together gentle puzzles, striking pastoral landscapes and tranquil music to tell a timeless coming-of-age folktale.

Key Features:

• Play as a young shepherd and their dog as you venture into the unknown to recover your lost flock.

• Herd, split and corral your sheep through ancient contraptions to open hidden pathways and continue on your journey.

• Forge a bond and work together with your dog to solve increasingly more complex puzzles.

• Journey across an ancient, pastoral landscape and unearth the mysteries of its long-forgotten past.

• Experience a timeless, wordless narrative interwoven with themes of duty, companionship, and morality.

• Become immersed in a folk-inspired soundtrack by Todd Baker (Monument Valley 2, Dreams) that richly blends traditional influences from around the world into an ancient, transcendent soundscape.

Summerhill is currently in development. If you’d like to learn more, or speak to us about partnerships please get in touch.
