The team of Hiding Spot brings us an adorably eerie adventure game set in a magical storybook full of whimsy, wonder, and a little bit of the uncanny valley. Beacon Pines sees you play as both the reader of the book and its main character, Luka.
The story unfolds as something strange occurs at an old warehouse, and Luka and his friends seem to be the only ones taking notice. What follows is a trail of mystery, intrigue, and some youthful teenage sleuthing reminiscent of simpler times–if you were an anthropomorphic animal.

At the end of the day, it’s all about unraveling the mysteries at the heart of Beacon Pines.
