There is something in the aesthetics of the retro game that is both deliciously nostalgic and deliciously scary. The 8-bit melodies, cute and clumsy graphics and the simple pages of cards remind us of the past hours on the buttons of the Game Boy in our childhood, but they also offer many possibilities of sudden drifts towards a nightmare. The Retro Pine Creek horror game does a great job by taking advantage of both the inherent nostalgia and the dread of the retro game. In fact, he does such a good job he gets a physical output for Game Boy Color. If you are a fan of horror, retro games or both, it's time to get your old pocket computers and pass a pre-order for this independent jewel. Just make sure you know what you are committed to, because Pine Creek is aimed at an adult audience. If you are under 18 years old, maybe wait a few years before disbursing for this title.

Pine Creek started his life as an independent browser game that could be played in any Game Boy emulator, including the original hardware via a linker, so it's not so strange that he can get a Physical version of Game Boy Color. In this game, players embody a boy whose best friend disappeared in mysterious circumstances - and by mysterious circumstances, we hear the room where she disappeared seems to have been the site of an occult ritual. Rumors around the city suggest that a cult was responsible for its death and other ritual murders. The boy, called Adso in the trailer, is determined to understand what happened to him, who was behind all this and why it had to happen. The developers describe Pine Creek as a game of exploration and adventure in charge of stories that consists of following clues, to make friends, to eat tasty food and think of death. It seems fun.
