    A great narrative adventure with a game-play built to improve the narrative experience. The story is nothing complex, but satisfying nonetheless, with clues and hints of what is really going on before everything is revealed giving that "ah ha!" moment when it finally happens.

    Probably the best story based game I have played. It does something uniquely well.

    It's a little too much like Night in the Woods, but lacks the relatability which made that game great. The target audience is a little confusing because the humor is kind of childish but the subject matter is pretty mature. The story doesn't really land for me either but I like some of the characters (the bat mainly) and the art is nice.

    If you're in the mood for a delightfully disturbing one-shot with an original walkthrough, with its cute style and horror touch, it's perfect for gloomy autumn evenings. [Issue#322]

    Gameplay and player agency may be limited, but as an interactive storybook, Beacon Pines is a charming, intriguing mystery with a great cast, gorgeous art, and a fun branching path mechanic.

    Beacon Pines is the type of adventure game that's perfectly suited for genre newcomers and those seeking to get away from the point-and-click style while retaining the genre's deeper storytelling. The story remains fascinating, since it clashes with the idyllic town setting and cast of cute characters. The ability to uncover every branch of the story tree via your discovered actions drives the desire to see every possible outcome even, if it is forced on you via the game design. The overall gameplay length ensures that it doesn't overstay its welcome, but some players may not like the semi-visual novel flow of most of the game. If you're willing to overlook that design decision, you'll be more than happy with this unassuming adventure.
