Developer Hiding spot and publisher Fellow Traveller are all set to launch their upcoming game Beacon Pines this week on September 22, 2022. The game will be available on Xbox One, Xbox GamePass, Steam, Nintendo Switch, and PC platforms.
Beacon Pines can currently be pre-ordered right now for a 10% discount on Xbox, Steam, and Nintendo Switch. Watch the game’s trailer below:
The game is a cute and creepy adventure that is set withing a mysterious book. You play both as the reader of the book and the main character, Luka. Sneak out in the late hours, make new friends, uncover hidden truths, and collect words that will change the course of fate.
As you investigate the strange things happening in Beacon Pines, you will collect Golden Charms with words engraved on them. These charms can be used at certain turning points in the story to fill in a blank word and drastically change everything that follows.
There are different story paths as well. As the role of the book reader, you will have to navigate the story’s turning points using The Chronicle: an interactive story tree that branches and grows along with your choices. Exploring one set of events can unlock new charms to use on another branch, leading you to jump back and forth between entirely different versions of the story in order to unravel the mysteries at the heart of Beacon Pines.
If you can’t wait for the launch of the game and are interested in finding out more, you can play the free demo on Steam which is currently available on the game’s page. The demo will give you a good look at the game, how things work and how the story will set up after the full launch.
