In this weekly feature, I share game titles from my various gaming wishlists. I share screenshots and video from the developer, talk about my expectations, and generally just ramble about why the title made it onto my list in the first place. This week's choice is Beacon Pines by Hiding Spot.

WHY I WANT IT
First, the devs won me over by admitting in their Press Kit that the game was originally going to be a rhythm-based RPG. They ended up changing direction because they felt the story and characters were the most compelling aspects of the game--and they built on that! So now we have this amazing little story-based game that actually focuses on a magic storybook which the player can edit with collected words to change how the story goes. It's practically a choose-your-own-adventure novel from the 90's! The artwork is beautiful as well, and the presented story seems both innocent and scary.
If you agree, you can wishlist it on
Steam here!
