Touching story of loss and resilience: "Pine" explores grief through woodworking.
Pine: A Story of Loss, a poignant interactive narrative and video game from Fellow Traveller and Made Up Games, has launched on Android. This emotionally resonant experience, reminiscent of Monument Valley in its artistic style, guides players on a touching journey through grief, memory, and hope.
A Journey Through Grief, Memory, and Hope
The game's premise is deceptively simple yet profound. Players assume the role of a woodworker residing in a beautifully illustrated forest clearing. Initially, the tasks seem mundane – tending a garden, gathering wood – but beneath the surface lies deep sorrow. Memories of a deceased wife frequently intrude, leading to bittersweet flashbacks. Instead of suppressing these memories, the woodworker transforms them into small wooden keepsakes, a poignant attempt to preserve lost love.
Pine: A Story of Loss masterfully evokes emotion. This wordless, interactive short story, easily completed in a single session, allows players to relive the couple's joyful past through charming puzzles and mini-games. The carvings created by the woodworker’s hands subtly convey a sense of hope.
The game's stunning hand-drawn art, crafted by Tom Booth (a veteran artist who has collaborated with DreamWorks, Netflix, Nickelodeon, Supercell, and HarperCollins), is undoubtedly its crowning achievement. Booth, in collaboration with programmer Najati Imam, aimed to create a deeply personal and affecting narrative.
Explore Pine: A Story of Loss for yourself!
Will You Embark on This Journey?
Beyond its captivating visuals, the game boasts a fitting soundtrack and immersive sound design. The absence of dialogue is perfectly complemented by the rustling leaves, creaking wood, and the gentle strains of an emotive score.
If you appreciate games that prioritize emotional experiences wrapped in heartwarming narratives, Pine: A Story of Loss is a title you shouldn't miss. It's available on the Google Play Store for $4.99.
