Inkle, the indie studio known for 80 Days and Heaven’s Vault, has announced their next game “A Highland Song”, a rhythm adventure game taking place in the beautiful highlands of Scotland, and though there is no release date, the game is confirmed to be in development for PC and Nintendo Switch.
Inkle announced the game on Twitter while discussing the talented developers and musicians who brought the game to fruition. A Highland Song follows Moira McKinnon as she makes her way through the Scottish highlands and towards the sea, beckoned by her uncle:
“Moira McKinnon has never seen the sea.
For fifteen years she’s 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 the solstice, a wonderful surprise will be waiting…
And so, Moira runs away.”
The developers describe the game as a “narrative adventure”, one that boasts incredible music to aid in travel:
A Highland Song is a narrative adventure game from inkle, the creators of 80 Days, Heaven’s Vault, and last year’s surprise hit 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.

Omake:
Yeah, whynot. More of a family friendly title.
more of a “who cares” title
this looks so fucking lame, another indie artistic* or autistic game. We need more gba advance/ds games that were all about fun not this crap where its some stupid crap that no one cares. This is why indie games are s♥♥t STOP TRYING TO BE ART!
Is that me, or this whole “travel with music” genre was done to death, with not a single game getting on the level of Journey (which jumpstarted this trend)?
rule 34 when?
Another disgusting soyboy “woke” garbage.
Oinks more, subhuman tranny faggot pig.
