One of the first adventure titles to catch my eye in the upcoming Big Adventure EventBeacon 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”.

There Is No One Way To Experience The Picturesque Beacon Pines
Beacon Pines has arrived and does not disappoint. Change the course of the story and find out the secrets behind this beautiful living storybook.

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!
