"Pine: Heartbreaking Tale of Loss Explored Through Woodworking"

Pine: A Story of Loss, a poignant interactive story and video game from Fellow Traveller and Made Up Games, is now available on Android. This emotionally resonant title guides players on a touching journey of grief, memory, and hope, reminiscent of the artistic style seen in games like Monument Valley.

A Journey Through Grief, Memory, and Hope

The game's premise is simple yet profound. Players assume the role of a woodworker residing in a beautifully illustrated forest clearing. On the surface, daily life involves tending a garden and gathering wood. However, 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, attempting to preserve the lost love.

Pine: A Story of Loss offers a deeply moving, wordless experience, easily completed in a single session. Players relive the couple's joyful past through charming puzzles and mini-games. The carvings created hold a subtle thread of hope.

The game's captivating hand-drawn art, created by Tom Booth (a collaborator with DreamWorks, Netflix, Nickelodeon, Supercell, and HarperCollins), is a standout feature. Booth, along with programmer Najati Imam, aimed to craft a deeply personal narrative.
