Lynchian noir mystery Silver Pines takes the best bits from horror, the middling bits from Metroidvanias, and the worst bits from adventure games
Silver Pines is a debut title from Wych Elm that blends neo-noir detective mystery, survival horror, and Metroidvania elements. While its moody visual style and intriguing story show promise, the game suffers from excessive backtracking, tedious puzzles, and frustrating dead ends, particularly in its later sections. The reviewer found the exploration and puzzle design to be the weakest aspects, overshadowing the otherwise compelling horror and mystery elements.
