This is very much so a visual novel, which usually bore me but certain games overcome this by providing creative ways of telling a story. Beacon Pines pulls this off by telling the story through a top-down, hand-drawn adventure, letting you speak and with interact with things as you please, rather than just having an endless flood of dialogue and character portraits. But it also has a unique trick up its sleeve, the story is told from the perspective of a seemingly sentient book who tells you upfront that the story hasn't been written yet and that you will have a part to play. As you speak with and interact with things, you will acquire "charms", which are certain words accompanied by a little portrait. At certain points in the story, you can use these words to fill in blank spaces that change the outcome and send you down different paths. You can turn the book pages back and redo them again using new charms you find in other various paths. Mechanically, it's not very deep but it's a really effective means of telling a story! You could hit a bad end, then go back and try another route and have knowledge about certain things you wouldn't otherwise have had! And it's just really endearing how the book is as desperate for a satisfactory ending as you are. And definitely, you'll love these characters and want to see their individual arcs though, they're all written in such a genuine way, a lot of distinct personalities accompanied by some beautiful and sometimes haunting visuals and music. I cried multiple times, too.

Heya, here's my Review for Beacon Pines. One of the best indie games I've played in the last few years, and completely unexpected for me. I thought it had more of a childish target, but definitely not! SPOILER AHEAD — For whoever finished it, or Devs ... Solomon's Reveal moment was... Absolute Cinema. Me and my BF were shocked. ...

The game looks super cute at first, but don't let the adorable storybook style fool you! It slowly turns into a creepy small town mystery that kept me curious the whole time. The gameplay is really creative. You flip through the storybook, collect special words called charms, and use them to change important moments in the story. A single word can completely change what happens next, leading to very different story paths and endings instead of just small dialogue changes. The story follows Luka and his friends as they investigate strange events happening around their town while Luka also searches for clues about his missing mother. I also liked that every route reveals new pieces of the mystery, so even the bad endings felt worthwhile because they helped me understand the bigger picture. Some achievements took a second try, but you can easily jump back to any chapter using the Chronicle instead of restarting the whole game, which made exploring every ending much more enjoyable. The game does a great job balancing creepy moments with funny conversations, heartwarming friendships, and emotional themes like grief, finding a place to belong, and standing up for what you believe in. I ended up doing another run to unlock even more of the story, and it was great to see how all the clues finally came together. I highly recommend it if you enjoy short narrative games where your choices truly matter.

yeah so i bought this game a 2,5 YEARS AGO on some sale and didnt lauched it even once. That was until last night when suddenly i got a dream about this game (yet for some reason this game was turned into a shі tty rogue-lite in it something like cult of the lamb but nvm) and after i woke up i understand that it was a sign to finally try it. And what can i say? This is amazing. I only played for a 2,5 hours and i never thought that any game can make me cry again (i dont remember when it was last time) but here i am. Edit: so i completed the game. Honestly i expected more of the personal story of the characters like NITW and i didnt quiet like how the story went full schizo but thats okay. The game is still very good

I nearly quit at the start because visual novel style games aren't really my thing, but I am SO glad I didn't. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this game, and really impressed by the way they executed the "choose your own adventure" mechanic. Every aspect of this game is brilliant; the storytelling and narration, the music, the art style, the characters. 10/10
