Beacon Pines

This game is the best narrative adventure game I've ever played. It is extremely polished and you can tell a ton of heart that went into this game. Freely being able to switch between timelines felt like I was in Strains Gate, at first I thought the plot was going to be average but it ended up being incredible, and the dialogue is so well written it made me envious I can't write that well, not to mention the gorgeous visuals and the very well done narration. It has a pretty cool ost too! If you like narrative adventures you MUST play this game.

Being a fan of choose your own adventure games, I especially liked the Charm mechanic. I would definitely recommend this game, I would highly recommended the games soundtrack as well. I wish that they would release a sequel.

Cute on the outside, dark and sad on the inside. Really enjoyable game, kept me wanting to play it every time I had to stop. Honestly there isn't much gameplay but there is. Most of it is walking around and talking to people and finding things. And the little gameplay that there is proofs how much gameplay elevates story telling and immersion. So I'm really thankful this is in the game. This and the tight and twisted story make this enjoyable to someone who usually plays action games. The start is odd, when you don't know where it goes but after a short while it gets going. I rarely recomment games with low gameplay. But this one is unique, very enjoyable and tense. And the art is perfect.

A cute and suprisingly well written game, one of the rare few that manages to not overstay its welcome without feeling insultingly short. About six-seven hours, which is hearty and more than enough to do all the story set out to do, but I honestly wouldn't have minded if it went on for another three or more, since the setting and characters were all so fun to explore. The only thing to note is that this game is basically a visual novel where you can more the character aroud a bit in between bouts of reading. Not a downside to me, but I could see how some people might be bothered by it. Highly recommended to those who want to enjoy a PG-13 horror story with a warm heart at the center.

This quasi-choose-your-own-adventure storybook adventure was a fun experience. If you enjoyed Night in the Woods, you'll probably enjoy this; though Beacon Pines doesn't quite achieve the same level of small-town ambience, characterization, or narrative quality, and the soundtrack is more distracting than engrossing, it's worth a playthrough.
