One of the first adventure titles to catch my eye in the upcoming Big Adventure Event, Beacon Pines showcases a playable demo this week. If you haven’t seen this yet, you’re in for a treat.
A mixture of cute and creepy, the story takes place via a magical storybook. You’re the reader of the book, who plays a role by ‘probing mysterious events’. But here’s the killer line that should have you moist: It’s like “Winnie-the-Pooh” meets “Stranger Things”.
Key features include:
- No combat – gameplay focuses on exploration, deep character-driven dialogue, and light puzzle-solving
- Explore a hand-illustrated town full of charming characters – and unsettling secrets
- Change past events by turning back the storybook, uncovering new branches
- Discover new words and use them to write (and rewrite) the game’s story
- Made by a small team of three developers
- Coming to PC and Nintendo Switch in 2022
Make sure to wishlist Hiding Spot’s Game and download the demo as soon as it’s available. This looks like a corker!
