| |
| A wild adventure through the Scottish Highlands, with open |
| platforming and dynamic storytelling from the creators of 80 Days |
| and Heaven's Vault. |
| |
| Moira McKinnon is running away. |
| |
| To reach the sea, Moira must first cross the Scottish Highlands - a |
| wilderness of paths, peaks, shortcuts, dangers, and song. |
| |
| GAMEPLAY: |
| |
| * Platforming: scale peaks and spelunk caves. |
| |
| * Survival: wind, rain, cold and hunger are your enemies. |
| |
| * Navigation: collect and position map fragments to discover faster |
| routes. |
| |
| * Narrative: learn stories and the secrets of the hills. |
| |
| * Rhythm action: skip and jump through the valleys to the |
| incredible music of TALISK and Fourth Moon. |
| |
| * Replay: discoveries persist, so you can find the fastest route. |
| |
| THE MUSIC. |
| |
| A Highland Song's soundtrack is composed by Laurence Chapman |
| alongside two multi-award-winning giants of the Scottish folk |
| scene, TALISK and Fourth Moon. Royalty of the festival circuit, |
| these two bands combine virtuosic instrumental playing with fast, |
| inventive rhythms, to produce new tunes in traditional styles |
| played with beauty, energy and swagger. |
| |
| THE STORY. |
| |
| For fifteen years, Moira McKinnon has lived with her mum in a small |
| house on the edge of the Scottish Highlands. Then one day she |
| receives a letter from her Uncle Hamish urging her to come to the |
| coast. If she can reach his lighthouse for Beltane, a wonderful |
| surprise will be waiting... |
| |
| And so, Moira runs away. |
| |
| The hills are full of secrets and stories, but what you find will |
| depend on where you go. The narrative is not branching but weaving; |
| a mesh of history, mythology and family secrets. What truths will |
| you discover? |
| |
| THE WORLD. |
| |
| In the Highlands, every peak has a story to tell and every valley |
| echoes with song. Giants sleep, ghosts sing, crows carry messages, |
| and eagles lift the dead. |
| |
| But the Highlands' crags are unforgiving and its summits are cold - |
| Moira's trek will not be easy. |
| |
| Can you help Moira find a way across this winding wilderness in |
| time? |
| |
| A HIGHLAND SONG. |
| |
| A Highland Song is the latest narrative adventure game from inkle, |
| the award-winning creators of 80 Days, Heaven's Vault, and |
| Overboard! |
| |
| Explore hills crisscrossed by routes - some well-trodden, others |
| hidden away - that are filled with stories, lost things, echoes, |
| and memories. |
| |
| Climb peaks to orient yourself and plan your next steps. Then hop, |
| slide, and jump through the valleys in time with the music. |
| |
| And be prepared to make the journey more than once, because a |
| single trip isn't nearly enough to discover the Highlands' deepest |
| secrets. |
| |
| This 2.5D side-scrolling adventure brings the Highlands to life |
| with a blend of hand-drawn animation, impressionistic painted |
| scenery, and dynamic lighting/weather effects. |
| |
| Languages: English. |
| |
| Notes: Update v1.0.26 (v131072) is included. Firmware 17.0.0 and |
| master key 16.0 are required. |
