Beacon Pines Launching Next Month

  |  
Aug 19, 2022

Publisher Fellow Traveller and developer Hiding Spot Games have announced a September 22 release date for Beacon Pines. The teams also revealed that the creepy-cute adventure game would be receiving a Nintendo Switch port. You can now expect it on Xbox (including Game Pass), the Nintendo Switch, Steam, and various other PC storefronts.

Luka lives in a charming bucolic storybook town. It’s full of vibrant and colorful characters, and the player’s choices will determine how The Book and its awful truths unfold. Luka notices something strange taking place at the old warehouse, and only he and his friends seem to care. Sneak out, make new friends, investigate, and collect words to change the story. As Luka investigates, you can collect golden charms engraved with words. These can be used to fill in a blank and change the course of the narrative. As the reader, you’ll use The Chronicle to explore the branching paths. Exploring one avenue can unlock new charms to use on other branches. This lets you jump back and forth between alternate realities and uncover the truth lurking within Beacon Pines.

    Ep. 347 Smile 2: “The Tale of Schmorgashbords, Part 1”
    Ket tells Kim about the highly requested and truly terrifying Smile 2. This left Ketryn truly shooketh and gave The Substance a run for its money in grotesque-ness. It was simply a smorgasbord of gore and the first time in podcast history that Ket is the one who can’t quite say a word.
