With more than 100 titles physically published on the Nintendo Switch, Super Rare Games show no sign of slowing down and neither are we as we continue to document their physical creations with another instalment of Super Rare Gems.Hogging the spotlight today is none other than A Highland Songby developer, Inkle:
Moira McKinnon is running away. A wild adventure through the Scottish Highlands, with open platforming and dynamic storytelling, maps and music. From the creators of Heaven’s Vault and 80 Days.
For fifteen years, Moira McKinnon has 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 Beltane, a wonderful surprise will be waiting…
And so, Moira runs away.
