The Secret of Pineview Forest

一款免费的第一人称恐怖探索游戏 游戏整体流程不长，大概1、20分钟吧（如果不迷路的话） 基本上就是在走路、找东西，优点可能就是免费吧

I liked walking through the forest, except: map is too big. Takes you too long to get from point A to point B. Area is really dark even with the flashlight on! Like others said before me, I don't understand why the guy was shooting at me in the first place, he doesn't even know me! LOL. The end was weird. She alive? They trapped me? WHAT DID JUST HAPPEN!!!

"The Secret of Pineview Forest" is not a game. It's an advertisement for a product called "Pineview Drive". Pineview Drive is a simple (possibly asset flipped) first person horror/jumpscare advanture... one of many hundreds on Steam with very little character or interest as a serious game... and seriously, when there's literally hundreds of versions of the same game glutting Steam as Pineview Drive is, it's hard to say there's any value in it for gamers. But this isn't completely relevant because this is not Pineview Drive, it's just an advertisment for it, so it's not correct to try to review that completely distinct product. We must instead review this for what it is... an advertisement. If you enjoy advertisements, you can consume them for free on the web or on Youtube without needing to add them to your game library, download them, and then launch the advertising. It's impossible in a general sense to recommend people should do that over playing real, full games on Steam, and that applies here with "The Secret of Pineview Forest" too. The purpose of this advert is to get you to pay $2 for the ancient Pineview Drive game that this is advertising. I don't recommend that you do. This is only free in the same way that adverts on Youtube and banner ads in your browser are. This is a game demo that's been dumped on Steam to advertise another Steam store page in the hopes of raking in some cash. Just because advertisements are free, doesn't mean they're worth your time. It's important to understand there's a formal process to create a demo/page for a game which hasn't been followed here: https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/application/demos While it might seem like an inocuous mistake, publishing demos and advertisements as if they are full games is misleading and in some ways harmful. This advertisement is taking up marketing space and visibility that would be better made available to a developer that's done the right thing and created a full game. Instead, that visibility is given over to a demo/advert that's been published incorrectly and is polluting the marketplace. It's unclear if this mistake was made through incompetence or a deliberate intent to mislead gamers. Often developers may choose to incorrectly publish demo/advertisements as separate games as a cheap way to bypass paying Valve for marketing presence on the Steam front page, which may seem clever to them, but it's harmful behaviour and it's not good for gamers. Even though this is "free", it failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at just a dozen or so concurrent players, and now there's basically nobody playing it. Even though it's free. This is a dismal public reception, but it's easy to see why gamers rejected it. Advertisements and incorrectly published demos don't add +1 to your game collector count, they aren't full games. It's impossible for me to recommend this incorrectly published advertising spam to gamers, you deserve better than adverts.

"The Secret of Pineview Forest" kann ich nur folgendermaßen bewerten: Pluspunkte: - Gute Grafik, - düstere Waldatmosphäre - und dazu passende gruselige Geräusche (Windrauschen, wilde Tiere). Minuspunkte: Der Protagonist des Games hatte einen Autounfall am Waldesrand. Die Aufgabe, die einem das Spiel daraufhin gibt: "Versuche das Rätsel um den Pineview Forest zu lösen." PUNKT Keine vorherige Erklärung, warum wir da sind. Weder per Cutscene noch in einer Ingame-Sequenz. Ähm, ok... Hatte ich nicht gerade einen Unfall und müsste nach Hilfe, einer Tankstelle, Arzt oder ähnlichem suchen? Und welches Rätsel? Das Kreuzworträtsel auf "50plus.ch" oder das Sudoku aus dem Heft vom Kiosk meines Vertrauens? Nein, scheinbar nicht. Also auf in den Wald. Es gibt keinen Anhaltspunkt, was man machen soll. Man sieht quasi den Wald vor lauter Bäumen nicht. Es gibt ein paar markante Felsen zwischen den Bäumen (einer hatte ein Gesicht), ein Hirsch säumte meinen Weg und es gab eine Hütte. Diese Hütte gab mir Hoffnung. Könnte es tatsächlich sein, das man dort Hilfe oder einen Anhaltspunkt bekommt? Weit gefehlt, meine Freunde: Man wird schlicht und ergreifend erschossen und der "Game over" Bildschirm ploppt auf...

Kostenlos, und schön schaurig. Der Wald ist mindestens genauso gruselig wie die Villa in "Pineview Drive" Schock garantiert!

Pineview Ormanının Sırrı, Pineview Drive - Rising Storm'un ücretsiz bir ön bölümüdür. Pineview Drive'daki terk edilmiş evin arkasında uğursuz Pineview Ormanı yatıyor...

Nice preview of the upcoming game, I missed the torch from the car trunk and some dude started taking pot shots at me. Still needs custom key mapping :( Looking forward to the main release.
