A Highland Song
A Highland Song’s gorgeous 2D art begins your journey by showing you the many ranges of high peaks and low canyons that you will need to traverse. Despite taking place in a 2D space, inkle takes heavy inspiration from the exploration mechanics of Breath of the Wild. Moira has stamina that is exhausted as she runs or scales steep cliff faces. Points of interest and locations you can cross to the next mountain range must be discovered on your own by piecing together hints across the landscape. There are numerous ways to reach your destination but every path takes the player through a new adventure in which they meet different characters that flesh out the story of Moira’s family and the sprawling history of the mountains themselves.
