Team17 and developer Wych Elm’s upcoming Lynchian horror title Silver Pines has a new gameplay trailer for prospective players to dive into ahead of the game’s launch later this year. True to its inspiration, the trailer offers up shades of Twin Peaks, mixed with good ol’ survival horror.
Silver Pines concerns one Red Walker, a private investigator who finds himself in the town of Silver Pines, a place half-abandoned, half-forgotten, in the middle of nowhere. Walker’s job is to track down Eddie Velvet, a musician who has vanished. As the case begins to reveal a dark past, Walker soon slips into a strange and nightmarish descent beyond his control.
Steeped in atmosphere and a creeping dread, Silver Pines sees players embark on an atmospheric and haunting journey as they unearth unsettling revelations and battle nightmarish terrors. All the while, they’ll need to manage their scarce resources to uncover mysteries that could hold the key to the most important case you will ever undertake.
Filled with locked doors and hidden paths at every turn, each holds an uncovered clue, a resource, or something waiting in the dark. As is the case with Metroidvanias, you’ll need to be doing a bit of backtracking and exploring to uncover better tools and weapons in order to open up more areas of the town.
Look for Silver Pines on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam.
