Hello, fellow travelers!
The summer heat is blazing, and the cicadas are beginning to sing. In this upcoming midsummer, Nico’s journey is finally about to reach its most important stop. To ensure everyone can embark on this new adventure smoothly and joyfully, the dev team has put together this pre-launch FAQ addressing your most-asked questions. We hope this clears up any doubts, and we wish you all a wonderful journey ahead!

Q: What are the plans for Sunset Hills after the "Wickel Chapter"?
As the "Wickel Chapter" is about to meet everyone, we noticed that while many players are full of anticipation, there are also some questions regarding the "no further plans at the moment" mentioned in our announcement. Therefore, the dev team would like to have an honest chat with you about the future of Sunset Hills.
Since the release of the base game, we have been forging ahead and have finally brought the complete "Wickel Chapter" to you. However, due to the realities of development constraints, the train carrying us forward with Nico will indeed have to make a temporary stop at "Wickel"—a small city full of future and hope. In this chapter, Nico and his friends will say a warm, temporary farewell to everyone. Nico's journey still continues in that fluffy world, and our original passion for creation has never changed. No matter what practical challenges we face, Cottongame will continue to walk the path of indie games—difficultly, but firmly. Just like all of you, we still look forward to the day the train departs again, allowing us to continue recording his adventures. If there are any new developments in the future, we will definitely let all you "dog lovers" know as soon as possible.
To thank everyone for your companionship and understanding toward indie games along the way, we insisted on giving this heavyweight "Wickel Chapter" to everyone as a free update (PC version). In this summer belonging to Nico and Sunset Hills, thank you to everyone who has witnessed or is about to witness this journey.
Q: Release Time
Release Time: June 30, 2026, at 10:00 AM sharp (UTC+8).
Q: How exactly do I update the game?
Steam: You need to go to the game's store page and click to download the corresponding DLC: "Wickel Chapter."
Q: I have already beaten the main story before. When the DLC drops, if I redownload the game, can I skip the main story and play only the DLC?
Absolutely! We completely understand that many friends who uninstalled the game after beating it, or switched devices, want to jump straight into the new content.
With this Wickel Chapter update, we have added a shortcut option in the chapter selection on the main menu, allowing all players to directly unlock the Wickel Chapter. Even if you don't have your previous local save files, you can head straight to Wickel with a single click after redownloading and start your brand-new journey! (Please make sure that the currently logged-in account ID matches the one used to purchase the base game. If you log into the wrong account or the current account does not own the base game, you won't be able to play.)
Q: Is there cross-progression between Mobile and PC? Can I continue my PC progress on my phone?
We are very sorry, but no. Because PC and mobile are completely different platforms, purchase data cannot be synchronized. Furthermore, this is a single-player offline game, and save files are stored locally on your device. If you delete the game, your progress will be wiped completely, so please proceed with caution.
If you wish to experience the "Wickel Chapter" on your phone, you will need to download and unlock it again on your mobile device. You are free to choose the most comfortable platform to experience Nico's story based on your gaming habits and device preferences.
The snow scenery in Wickel is beautiful right now, and Nico has already packed his bags. With our passion unchanged, let us set off once again. On June 30, amidst the falling snow of Wickel City, we look forward to meeting you all.
