Get Into Trouble With Rolo.
Oct. 4th, 2022 07:10 pmI played Beacon Pines! I doubt I'll get fannishly into it, but it's a cute game, and it's clear that a lot of love went into the visual and sound design.
'What's this furry game you're playing?' Ginger asked, glancing over and seeing animals on the screen. They were taken aback when Kerr appeared a moment later: 'Oh, wow, it actually is a furry game.'
The concept is that you're playing through a storybook, and at points in the story you can change what happens by changing certain words in the book. By going down different story paths, you can discover new words, and then you can jump back to previous points and try out those words there.
One thing that struck me is that Beacon Pines might be a good choice for someone just starting out with videogames. It's not too long, it doesn't demand quick reflexes or camera control, and items or people you can interact with are clearly indicated when you get close. I'm not necessarily the best person to judge, as I've played games for a very long time, but I think this one is probably very easy to grasp.
( Spoilers for Beacon Pines. )
Beacon Pines wasn't life-changing, but I enjoyed my time with it and, if the hinted-at sequel actually manifests, I'm planning to pick it up. It's worth checking out if you enjoy story-and-character-focused, light-on-gameplay mystery titles like Night in the Woods or Oxenfree.
