Embark on a Rhythmic Highland Adventure in A Highland Song

A Highland Song is a captivating narrative adventure where you guide Moira McKinnon on a perilous journey across the breathtaking Scottish Highlands. Driven by a letter from her Uncle Hamish, Moira runs away from home, seeking the coast and a promised surprise. Prepare for a unique blend of platforming, survival, and rhythm-based gameplay as you traverse a stunning wilderness filled with secrets and song. Get ready to explore the Scottish Highlands with a unique navigation mechanic!

Navigate a Perilous & Beautiful Landscape

Master the art of exploration in this atmospheric adventure. Climb towering peaks to survey your surroundings and strategically plan your route. Engage in challenging platforming sequences, including spelunking through caves, scaling treacherous cliffs, leaping across rocky terrain, and sliding down steep scree slopes. The key word here is: Challenge. Collect and position 100 map fragments to discover faster routes across the wild land. The hills are crisscrossed with paths, some well-trodden and others hidden away. Wind, rain, and biting cold weather are constant threats – find shelter and manage your resources to survive the harsh environment. Remember, Moira is not a superhero, and the Highlands demand respect. Don't underestimate the Highlands' power.

Uncover the Rich Narrative and Secrets of the Highlands

Delve into the rich lore of the Highlands. Learn the stories and secrets woven into the landscape, filled with lost artifacts, haunting echoes, and poignant memories. The narrative is not branching – it's a tapestry woven from history, mythology, and family secrets. What truths will you unearth on your journey?

Experience Rhythm Runs set to Award-Winning Scottish Folk Music

Immerse yourself in the vibrant music of TALISK and Fourth Moon, award-winning giants of the Scottish folk scene. Feel the rhythm as you skip and jump through valleys in dynamic rhythm runs, where the landscape dynamically responds to the music. These rhythm runs create a uniquely entrancing player experience.

Replayability and a World Teeming with Life

Prepare for multiple playthroughs to uncover all the secrets of the Highlands. One journey is simply not enough to experience everything this vast and mysterious world has to offer. Giants slumber, ghosts sing, crows deliver messages, and eagles carry the departed. Every peak holds a story, and every valley reverberates with song. Can you guide Moira safely through this winding wilderness in time?

Accessibility and Settings

Players of A Highland Song can customize their experiences to suite their individual needs with the following settings:

Narrative

• Reading speed setting: How long the dialogue gives you before it animates out again.
• Allow mild profanity: On by default.
• Unfortunately we don't currently have any font or text size settings, although it is planned for a future update. Our text size is however relatively generous - we we suggest you look at screenshots full screen where you intend to play to get a sense of how readable it is for you.

Controls

• Alternative gamepad controls: By default choices and interaction is on the A button, and jump is on the Y button. But for those that find it more natural for jump to be on the A button there is an alternative control scheme.
• Remap keyboard controls: Full remapping of all controls in game is possible. Mouse buttons are assignable although general mouse movement control isn't supported.

Gameplay

• Trip less when running to music: Normally during the rhythm running mechanic 3 stumbles will cause the music and momentum to stop. With this setting on you are allowed infinite stumbles. (However some types of platforming mistakes may still cause failure.)
• Never flail while climbing: Occasionally a quick time event may occur during climbing that requires you to quickly press a button to re-attach to the wall. This option disables the mechanic completely.
• Easier music rhythms: During the rhythm run mechanic, use less complicated rhythms to make the game easier.
• Single jump button only: After the first few rhythm runs the game will introduce a second jump button to introduce difficulty and complexity. This option will mean you only ever require a single jump button during the rhythm mechanic.
• Weather and Environment: How strongly poor weather will affect your health and recovery.
• Lightning: By default switched on, this is a strobe effect during thunderstorms that can be disabled.
• Highlight routes when looking further: By default switched on, when using the "Look Further" mechanic (zooming out), this will highlight the available surface that can be walked and climbed on for easier navigation. For players that prefer more of a challenge and to look at the raw art only, this can be disabled.

Audio and Vibration

• The following volumes can be independently controlled: master volume, ambient music volume, rhythm music volume, speech volume.
• Gamepad vibration can be disabled.
