Beacon Pines Reviews

Very cute game! I had a lot of fun with this one, and especially loved the ability to collect cards and influence the story through them. Haven't really seen anything like that feature before. My one gripe is that I wish there was a way to fast forward seen text. But that's a rather trivial thing for non-achievement hunters, I suppose. Either way, I recommend this game for the art (it's really lovely), the mystery, and the story as a whole.

I love this game. As a person who loves stories and cute characters with silly commentary, this is a ten for me. Even though it's a lot of re-doing the same sort of stories until you hit the good stuff, I love how much this game twists in its plot. I'll be playing this to the fullest extent! Thank you for making such a fun and inventive game!!

A very lovely experience, which i am highly disappointed i will not be able to really experience again. Not a very long game, especially for its price, but i do believe it could change someones life for sure. The characters are all great, and it does give you plenty of time to fall in love with each one, despite its short game play. The gameplay itself is simple, and its much more about enjoying the story than the game mechanics. I hope ill be able to come back in a few years to enjoy it a new. 10/10

This was so absolutely great. Its cute, its charming, its funny and it tells a good story in an interesting way. I grabbed this and just spent going through it on my day off and it was worth every cent.

This game has the craziest plot twists, it will mess with your sanity more then once. Beautiful game though

One of the best stories for any game I've played in awhile. Lots of games do the "your choice matters" thing, but this game does it in such a unique way. By the end of the game you will likely have tried every possible "ending" to eventually get to a "true ending". You will die/be captured/fail many times before you reach an epilogue. They mystery builds and it feels like alternate realities building to aid the overall story. The characters are pretty fun and I became attached to the cute little town of Beacon Pines. Even the villains are fun characters with interesting designs and quirks.

This is a story about change, both good and bad. All of the endings being so different based on your choices are what make this game's story so captivating and immersive, And the character writing is amazing all around. I love this crazy wacky town.

amazing storytelling, characters, art, music, and everything! please give it a shot if you can, definitely a great and emotionally-charged game that's worth every second and penny.

This game is a great casual play-- a short, narrative-driven adventure with great art, cute characters, and spooky, vibes-based intrigues. The use of the "narrative tree" makes the different story branches easy to navigate so that no bad end feels punishing, and I enjoyed that the Charms to proceed to the other branches were scattered in the dead ends as well, gently guiding the player through all the scenarios and their tidbits of lore and characterization. Both character art and settings are beautifully illustrated, and I really enjoyed traipsing through the town and finding all the little corners and NPCs. I specify that the intrigues are vibes-based because the use of town-wide conspiracy as a central plot device by necessity encourages the player to collect clues and try to assemble them, or to look back on what has been discovered so far and reevaluate it after a big reveal. Many peripheral details (and some major ones!) fall apart with any close inspection however. Nevertheless, I think most people who are drawn to the game's art style and tags are ready to suspend their disbelief accordingly. I did not find the plot holes to be too distracting, and I very much enjoyed the game for its strengths and calming atmosphere.

Really good game! I hate replaying games to get multiple endings so the idea of the 'ending tree' with branches marking off which paths you take was a really creative and fun touch that allowed me to get all endings of the game in one playthrough with no resets. I which more games took this approach.
