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

Dive into Pine: A Story of Loss, a poignant interactive story and video game from Fellow Traveller and Made Up Games, now available on Android. This emotionally resonant experience, reminiscent of titles like Monument Valley in its artistic style, takes you on a journey through grief, memory, and hope.

A Journey Through Grief, Memory, and Hope

Pine: A Story of Loss presents a simple yet profound premise. You play as a woodworker finding solace in a beautifully illustrated forest glade. On the surface, his days are filled with tending his garden and gathering wood. Beneath the surface, however, lies deep grief. Memories of his late wife frequently interrupt his routine, transporting him to bittersweet flashbacks. Instead of suppressing these memories, he channels his sorrow into creating small wooden mementos, a tangible representation of his enduring love.

Pine: A Story of Loss is a deeply moving, wordless interactive short story easily completed in a single sitting. Through charming puzzles and mini-games, you relive the couple's happy memories, finding hope woven into the carvings the woodworker creates.

The game's undeniable highlight is its stunning hand-drawn art by Tom Booth, a veteran artist who has collaborated with industry giants like DreamWorks, Netflix, Nickelodeon, Supercell, and HarperCollins. Teaming up with programmer Najati Imam, they crafted a deeply personal and affecting narrative.
