I received Beacon Pines through my purchase with the Humble Bundle, and though I had seen it on my Playstation+ subscription + Gamepass quite a bit, I had never given it a try. Something about the art style always threw me off.
Yesterday I finally tried it, and was instantly hooked. Beacon Pines is a story about a mysterious town with a well-kept secret and a 12 year old boy named Luca who gets himself involved in it. It sports a variety of timelines for the player to jump and back forth from, making different choices along the way to avoid tragedy. Beacon Pines is not only unique in it's presentation and gameplay, it's also intriguing and has a fun cast of characters.
The only complaint I have is that near the end it drags on for quite a while only to end rather abruptly, as such the 3.5 instead of 4 stars. I definitely recommend giving Beacon Pines a try if you're into mystery games or just into games that try to do something unique.
