Rhythmic hiking game from the makers of 80 Days will launch next month

A Highland Song, Inkle's Scottish rhythm mountain climbing game, now has a release date of December 5th. I'm Scottish, I spent my childhood walking up mountains, and I'm a long-time fan of Inkle, so it's kind of them to make this game specifically for me. Hop below for a new trailer, too.
I'm curious how A Highland Song's systems hang together. You play as Moira McKinnon, a young girl running away across mountains. As you travel you can skip and jump in time to music, and also find different routes by scaing different peaks or spelunking different caves. Inkle say that the narrative is "not branching but weaving", with different pieces of story discovered depending on where you go.
There are also survival mechanics, where wind, rain, cold and hunger "are your enemies". I'm personally more interested in there being a "sit down" button on the UI, though.
Katharine spent 30 minutes with A Highland Song at GDC earlier this year, calling it a combination of the best bits of Heaven's Vault and Pendragon, and a music Death Stranding.
I look forward to reliving my childhood on December 5th.
Disclosure: Natalie Clayton, formerly of this parish, is a level designer at Inkle.

Multiplayer puzzle 'em up Islands Of Insight will launch next February
Islands Of Insight was described to me by Katharine earlier as "Talos Principle: The MMO", and yep, that seems about right. It's a "shared world" puzzle game with toga-wearing characters and architecture seemingly littered with marble columns. It also now has a release window of February 2024 and a new trailer, below.
