Developer Land & Sea and creative director Harry Nesbitt have announced story-driven puzzle game Summerhill, developed for Windows and Mac operating systems.

The coming-of-age folktale is set in an ancient, pastoral landscape where a young shepherd and faithful dog work together to herd, split and corral their sheep to reunite a lost flock. The wordless narrative puzzle game invites players to solve increasingly challenging puzzles to unearth the mysteries of the bucolic setting's long-forgotten past.

Music for the game is by Todd Baker, whose previous credits include Monument Valley 2 by Ustwo Games, Dreams by Media Molecule, and Land & Sea's Alto’s Odyssey. The music score "richly blends traditional influences from around the world into an ancient, transcendent soundscape."
