We realised there had never been a game that really tapped into what it means to be a shepherd, as sheep are often used as a throwaway gag, or depicted in a cutesy, cartoonish way. We were particularly drawn to the rich history and cultural impact of sheep herding – a theme we touched on lightly in Alto’s Adventure (Alto himself being a humble llama shepherd) but that we always felt had more unexplored potential. At the time, the team was searching for a playful and satisfying game mechanic with a grounded “folk” sensibility. The idea for Summerhill was first conceived back in 2017. As the journey continues, you will forge a deep bond with your sheepdog, working together to solve increasingly challenging puzzles and find the path ahead. The gameplay of Summerhill is primarily centred around seeking out and herding your sheep to safety through vibrant lands scattered with ruined contraptions that stand in your way. Together you’ll be tasked with rescuing your lost sheep and uncovering the long-forgotten mysteries of an ancient landscape. In short, Summerhill is a story-driven puzzle adventure in which you will play as a young shepherd and their dog. After many years of preparation, we’re excited to be able to tell you more about the world we are constructing.
