Pine: A Story of Loss (v1.4.12853)

Pine: A Story of Loss is a heartfelt, wordless narrative experience that unfolds through hand-drawn animation and a touching musical score. Players step into the quiet life of a woodworker who is grappling with the recent loss of his wife, living alone in the peaceful glade they once shared. As he tends to his daily chores—such as gardening and gathering wood for the coming winter—memories of their time together gently surface, interrupting his routine and inviting players to relive moments of joy through charming puzzles and mini-games. These interludes offer a glimpse into the couple’s happy past, while the woodworker’s ongoing tasks underscore the slow, emotional process of moving forward. The game’s unique carving mechanic allows players to craft delicate wooden mementos, each one a tangible symbol of the woodworker’s love and remembrance. Pine’s beautifully illustrated environments, paired with evocative sound design, immerse players in a serene world that balances reflection and quiet resilience. Designed to be experienced in a single sitting, the game emphasizes accessible, engaging interactions that draw players deeply into the woodworker’s story. Developed by Made Up Games, a small team with backgrounds in illustration and programming, Pine offers a gentle yet powerful exploration of grief, memory, and the enduring bonds of love.
