Summerhill - One Shepherd And Their Dog

From the BAFTA-winning team behind Alto’s Adventure and Alto’s Journey, Summerhill is an upcoming story-driven puzzle about a young shepherd and their dog performing their sheep herding duties while uncovering the mysteries beyond as they seek their lost flock. 

Summerhill is an entirely new IP that aims to build on the themes that we care about most as a studio. As a team, we’ve been massively inspired by the rich history and cultural impact of sheep herding across the world—there are few people or places that haven’t been impacted in some small way by the practice of shepherding. In many ways, sheep herding is in our DNA, and we really wanted to do justice to this timeless tradition and tell a story that could only be told in this way.

Key features in Summerhill include:

• 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.

Here’s a teaser trailer:
