Beacon Pines is just a lovely and charming game. The art is gorgeous, with lots of expressive characters and detailed & colorful backgrounds. The narrator offers a decent framing device, along with the branching path gimmick lending some interesting interactivity to the storytelling. The story itself has engaging characters, a digestible mystery with some fun plot twists, and a satisfying conclusion. This is just the kind of thing that's up my alley and it certainly made me nostalgic for my childhood of reading Hardy Boys books.

Beacon pines, my favorite indie game of all time. I wish this game had a sequel because I could not get enough of it, the art is beautiful, the music is BEAUTIFUL emphasis on the music because I have some of the tracks on my spotify, it's THAT good. The story is nice and the plot twists were interesting to say. The game mechanics by far was my favorite, maybe because I've never personally seen it before but i loved it. Overall 10/10

I had fun with this game for sure. The story is good, the gameplay is fun and interesting and some of the endings are very impactful!

I have no complaints but this particular story didn't quite grab me the same way as other choices matter story based games do.

I still enjoyed it and the art is so cute.

This is my favorite game of all time and i played many games. Its such a cozy game with really cool mechanics. The story is great and the chronicle is so unique. The world and the characters are also so cool. And like this whole thing that the narrator speaks with you and you can write the story its just so cool. I cant really describe my feelings to this game and why i like it. i just love this game

Beacon Pines a modo de resumen es una visual novel que mezcla algunos referentes como pueden ser Stranger Things, Night in the Woods, Oxenfree... Todo con un arte mas colorido y un tono mas relajado y calido, casi de cuento o serie infantil.

En el juego tomamos dos roles, uno como un lector de un libro junto a otra figura que hace las veces de narradora contruyendo juntos una historia, y a Luka, un joven de 12 años que tras perder a su padre cuando era joven y la desaparicion de su madre años despues se ha quedado solo y con muchas preguntas sobre lo que sucede.

La idea base es que generalmente controlaremos a Luka y nos moveremos por su pueblo , Beacon Pines, hablando y interactuando con el entorno y sus gentes, avanzando en la trama y de vez en cuando obteniendo lo que el juego llama ''Charms'', unas palabras clave que nos serviran de cara a usarlas como ese lector que encarnamos para ciertos momentos donde tendremos que decidir a donde va la historia, generando varias ramas de un arbol y avanzando por ellas, muy similar a varias visual novels.

El tono mola mucho, la historia de misterio esta bastante bien, los personajes estan genial y todo eso consigue general algunos momentos bastante emocionales, todo de una forma muy amable y ligera.

Si te apetece algo narrativo y ligero tanto de gameplay como de tono, esta es muy buena opcion.

This game was really cute, I liked it a lot!
