Pine: A Story of Loss Cuts Deep into Grief with a Woodworker's Tale

Fellow Traveller and Made Up Games' poignant interactive story and video game, Pine: A Story of Loss, is now available on Android. This emotionally resonant journey features stunning visuals reminiscent of Monument Valley, guiding players through a tale of grief, memory, and hope.

A Journey Through Loss and Healing

The game's premise is deceptively simple yet profoundly moving. Players assume the role of a woodworker finding solace in a beautifully illustrated forest. Initially, his daily routine involves tending his garden and gathering wood. However, beneath the surface lies deep sorrow. Memories of his deceased wife frequently intrude, leading to bittersweet flashbacks. Instead of suppressing these memories, he channels his grief into creating small wooden keepsakes, attempting to preserve the love he's lost.

Pine: A Story of Loss is a wordless, interactive short story perfect for a single sitting. Players relive the couple's happy past through charming puzzles and minigames. The handcrafted wooden carvings the player creates embody a sense of hope amidst sorrow.

Exceptional Hand-Drawn Art

The game's standout feature is undoubtedly its breathtaking hand-drawn art by Tom Booth, a veteran artist who has collaborated with industry giants like DreamWorks, Netflix, Nickelodeon, Supercell, and HarperCollins. Partnering with programmer Najati Imam, Booth sought to create a deeply personal and affecting narrative.

Experience Pine: A Story of Loss for Yourself!

Beyond its artistic merit, the game boasts a fitting soundtrack and immersive sound design. The absence of dialogue is compensated by the subtle sounds of rustling leaves, creaking wood, and a poignant musical score, all contributing to the overall immersive experience.

For players seeking emotionally resonant experiences wrapped in heartwarming narratives, Pine: A Story of Loss is a must-try. Available now on the Google Play Store for $4.99.
