Fellow Traveller, a narrative games publisher, has just signed a deal with Made Up Games, a new game development studio from New York. Now, why are we talking about this deal? Well, they have also shared the news about a new interactive story and video game they’re cooking together as part of the deal.

The new interactive story and video game is titled Pine: A Story of Loss. Pine is expected to hit the shelves in late 2024, and it’s coming to Android, iOS, Nintendo Switch and PC. The game follows the story of a woodworker who’s grieving the loss of his wife. But this widower isn’t just about reminiscing; he’s turning memories into stunning wood carvings.

Now, the problem is that he becomes obsessed with his art. Needless to say, the story unfolds through interactions and hand-drawn animations that will tug at your heartstrings and get you drenched in emotion. With each season’s turn, the woodworker faces the future, haunted by memories of days gone by.

Whether he’s patching up the roof or sowing seeds, each chore is a recollection of his memories with his wife. Pine will let you soak up the ambient vibes and tackle puzzles that make everyday tasks seem less ordinary. The visuals are pretty impressive, too, blending classic American art with a simple, clean style. Why don’t you take a look at it yourself here?

Let’s talk about the creators of this game. Fellow Traveller Games has been creating unique narrative games since 2012. Their current lineup of games includes the tabletop RPG Citizen Sleeper, the survival game The Pale Beyond, the cosmic mystery game Genesis Noir and the thriller game Paradise Killer.

Made Up Games is a new studio set up by illustrator-cum-author Tom Booth and programmer Najati Imam. Pine: A Story of Loss will be their first interactive story and video game. If you want to learn more about this game, check out their official website.
