The upcoming adventure from Hiding Spot Games Beacon Pines is not as innocent as it appears on the surface. The rowdy team of three has spent almost five years lovingly crafting Beacon Pines into a story that could be described as Winnie-the-Pooh meets Stranger Things.
The upcoming storytelling game published by Fellow Traveler, out September 22nd for Xbox One and Game Pass, follows the journey of a little boy named Luka. When the old warehouse outside town begins to glow and people go missing, Luka and friends set out to uncover the spooky roots beneath their town’s cozy veneer.
You play both as the reader of a mysterious book and as Luka, the main character of the story. As you explore the town of Beacon Pines, you’ll discover “Charms,” collectible words that can be inserted into the narrative to completely change the story that unfolds.
Spells can be used not only to change the ending of the current branch of the story, but also to jump to a completely different point and rewrite history in a drastic way. To navigate through the many branches of the story, the game introduces you to The Chronicle, an interactive, illustrated tree that branches and expands based on the choices you make.
Beacon Pines is full of mysteries waiting to be revealed. How will Luke’s story unfold? His fate, and that of Beacon Pines, depends entirely on the words you, the player, choose.
Beacon Pines launches September 22nd on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Windows 10/11 PC and with Game Pass. For more information, please visit Hiding Spot Games website or follow Beacon Pines and fellow traveller on twitter.
