"Pine: Woodworker's Tale Explores Deep Grief"

The newly released Pine: A Story of Loss on Android, developed by Fellow Traveller and Made Up Games, invites players into an emotionally charged interactive story and video game. With its art style reminiscent of games like Monument Valley, Pine offers a poignant journey through grief, memory, and hope.

It’s a Journey Through Grief, Memory and Hope

The narrative of Pine: A Story of Loss is both simple and profound. You step into the shoes of a woodworker, set in a beautifully illustrated forest glade. On the surface, your daily tasks involve tending to the garden and gathering wood. However, beneath this serene exterior, the protagonist is grappling with profound grief. Memories of his late wife frequently interrupt his routine, drawing him into a series of bittersweet flashbacks. Rather than shunning these memories, he transforms them into wooden mementos, a poignant attempt to preserve the love he has lost.

Pine: A Story of Loss is designed to evoke deep emotions. This wordless, interactive short story can be completed in a single sitting. Through charming puzzles and mini-games, you relive the couple's cherished moments. The carvings you craft with the woodworker's hands are imbued with a sense of hope.

The game's standout feature is its hand-drawn art, all crafted by Tom Booth, who has previously worked with major names such as DreamWorks, Netflix, Nickelodeon, Supercell, and HarperCollins. Collaborating with his friend, programmer Najati Imam, Booth aimed to tell this story in a deeply personal manner.
