This update adds new characters, new areas to explore, new music, a fully voice-acted narrator, and more.

Beacon Pines is a cute and creepy adventure game set in a mysterious book. In it you play as both the book's reader and its main character, a young boy named Luka probing strange happenings in his hometown. Along the way you'll find charms inscribed with new words that let you rewrite past events, leading to entire new sequences of events to explore. Check this game out today - It’s like “Winnie-the-Pooh” meets “Stranger Things”.

● @BeaconPines on Twitter

● @BeaconPines on Instagram

● @BeaconPines on TikTok

Quick info:

● Demo length - 30-60 minutes, depending on completionist level and amount of discussion

● Keyboard and controller supported

● Demo save will not carry over into full game when released

Content Warnings:

●     Discussion of missing/passed away parents

Screen Elements:

No combat

- gameplay focuses on exploration, deep character-driven dialogue, and light puzzle-solving

Explore

a hand-illustrated town full of charming characters - and unsettling secrets

Change past

events by turning back the storybook, uncovering new branches

Discover

new words and use them to write (and rewrite) the game’s story

Made by

a small team of three developers

Coming to

History:

Believe it or not, Beacon Pines started its life as a rhythm-based RPG. Seriously. But as we slowly designed the game over several years, we pivoted when it felt like the game was telling us what it wanted to be. For us, the most compelling aspects of the game wound up being not the combat, but the story and characters. So we followed that instinct.

Features:

●     Explore an illustrated mountain town to collect word charms

●     Use those words to alter the story

●     Use those words to make friends

●     Use those words to weave the fabric of fate itself

●     Open the magical book at any time to go back and change your decisions

Their previous game, Flipping Legend, is the highest rated iOS game on MetaCritic for all of 2017. Before that, they made Ephemerid, a musical adventure game that won the IGF award for excellence in audio. Their newest game, Beacon Pines, is their most ambitious project yet.

About Fellow Traveller:

An indie games label exploring the possibility space of what narrative games can be. We seek out and partner with pioneering game developers working on unusual games with narrative at their core.

Join us on a journey into a world of surprising games and unusual stories.
