The Pines is a psychological RPG in which the attempt to find peace turns into a slow descent into darkness, both personal and otherwise. A former detective arrives at a secluded retreat, hoping to recover from a failure, but instead of relief, he encounters a place where everything seems too right. The calm feels forced, and the events unfolding. A place where the truth is not on the surface Exploring the open space gradually erodes initial impressions. Conversations, rumors, and small details begin to piece together a picture that doesn't match what's on display. People may act friendly, but behind it lie motives that aren't always immediately discernible, especially if their trust proves misplaced. The further the investigation progresses, the more intense the pressure. It becomes clear that actions are not going unanswered, and the consequences could return in the most dangerous form. The surrounding forest conceals a threat, and some residents cease to be mere participants in the events, becoming those who begin to stalk and test their strength. Features of the game Open world with an emphasis on exploration and detail. Character development through skills and decisions. A system of consequences that influences what happens.
