Silver Pines, a rather gorgeous 2D survival horror game that I played a brilliant demo of a couple of months ago, is out today. The release has rather snuck up on me, so you might not see much coverage other than this, but from the demo alone I reckon this is worth a look.
Published by Team17 and developed by Wych Elm, the game will set you back about £20 on all platforms (and this is on all the main ones) with a launch discount.
Just watch this trailer and then try to tell me you aren’t at least a little bit interested in giving this a go.
If that hasn’t convinced you, and you’ve got a half-decent PC, I recommend you go to Steam and check out the demo. It’s a nice little chunk of the game and 100% left me keen to give the full version a proper whirl on its release.
Oh, you only play games that feature cool names? You play as private investigator Red Walker (cool name) who is in Silver Pines (cool name), trying to track down musician Eddie Velvet (cool name). Good enough?
Obviously now the game is releasing and I don’t have time to give it a proper whirl, but the intent is there. If you need even more convincing, the game has some proper Twin Peaks vibes about it, which I know some of you will react to like dogs to a lamp-post.
