Silver Pines

The game

You play Red Walker, a private investigator sent to Silver Pines, a half-abandoned small American town, to find missing musician Eddie Velvet. Team17 describes it as a 2.5D survival horror game with metroidvania navigation: locked doors, hidden paths, puzzles, limited resources and inventory, and fights against creatures and bosses. Animations are hand-drawn (rotoscoped), with a neo-noir look.

What the press says (PC reviews)

A very positive reception. GamesRadar+ (4.5/5) finds it gripping from start to finish and stylish throughout, and notes it runs great on Steam Deck. DualShockers (9.5/10) calls it a love letter to David Lynch that Silent Hill fans will also relish, with an eerie world full of things to explore and a clever camera feature. TheSixthAxis (9/10) says it would not be out of place in the Silent Hill series and praises the atmosphere, puzzles and weighty combat.

Caveats: Cubed3 (7/10) praises the atmosphere but points to well-worn Silent Hill 2 and Twin Peaks tropes, bugs and stutters, clunky combat and a punishing save system using paid payphones. GamesRadar+ finds boss fights a little janky, DualShockers warns combat takes practice and puzzles can get tedious, and TheSixthAxis notes collectables that are easy to miss.
