About
The Secret of Pineview Forest is a free prequel to Pineview Drive - Rising Storm. Behind the abandoned house on Pineview Drive lies ominous Pineview Forest. The dark, foreboding forest trail leading directly to the Pineview property must be explored – but your every move and reaction is being watched. You must stay calm during your walk – or else IT will take you! To survive you will need steady nerves; for any trace of fear comes at a price — your life.
An old abandoned mansion lies at the dead end of Pineview Drive. A troubled man is standing at its gates, looking over the property. 20 years ago he had visited this estate with his wife Linda. During their stay his beloved vanished without a trace – her mysterious disappearance unresolved.
For 20 years no clues, for 20 years no peace, for 20 years this house on Pineview Drive has not relinquished its tormenting grip on him. Now, he returns in hopes of coming to terms with his nightmarish past.
The ominous legends haunting this seaside lodge have become renown. The stories abound that no one has been able to endure more than 30 days within the mansion since Linda’s disappearance. Facing a force greater than you ever imagined, you must cross the threshold and confront the evil that envelops this cryptic cottage. To solve the mystery of Linda’s disappearance and lift the veil on this troubling history, there is no time to spare.

ホラーゲーム風のPVだが中身はウォーキングシミュレーター。 何やらPineview Drive というゲームの無料体験版(本作の前日譚にあたる)らしい。 無料体験版らしく本編の雰囲気を楽しむために作られている様で、 雰囲気を楽しむには十分楽しめます。 森の中をただ歩くだけですが、[spoiler] (一応、アイテムがありPlayerが殺られる事もあります)[/spoiler] BGMと環境音で不安を煽ってきます。ただそれだけを楽しむ事に重点を置いている様に感じられます。 ゲームクリア後は謎しか浮かばないので本編をプレイすることで、その謎が解明されるのだろうか。(本編は未プレイ)
The Secret of Pineview Forest ist lediglich ein kleiner Vorgeschmack auf Pineview Drive 2 - Rising Storm. Jener Titel ist allerdings bis heute noch nicht erscheinen, da es wiederholt Probleme bei der Entwicklung oder Finanzierung gab. Als atmosphärische kleine Demo, in die man kostenlos schnuppern kann, macht man hier per se schon mal nichts falsch. Die Atmosphäre ist super und der erste Ansatz mit dem Haus richtig gut gelungen. Doch weiterempfehlen kann ich das Ganze trotzdem immer noch nicht. Der Wald ist insgesamt einfach viel zu groß und ich habe die Hälfte meiner Spielzeit wirklich ausschließlich mit belanglosem Sprinten verbracht. Wichtige Punkte sind zwar mit einem kleinen Licht hervorgehoben, dennoch kann man auf dieser großen Fläche eben auch einen weiten Bogen um sie machen und nicht sofort fündig werden. Das muss einfach nicht sein und weniger ist manchmal mehr. Der Rest des Spiels kann in meinen Augen überhaupt nicht an den ersten Abschnitt anknüpfen. Für mich war es wie gesagt zwar in Ordnung, doch wer hier nicht rundum interessiert ist, kommt kein bisschen auf seine Kosten.

Норм чё.
this game got to boring after a while just to much walking. the game just did not have that much to it too.
?!
El ambiente está muy bueno, pero el mapa es demasiado enorme para tan pocas cosas que hay por coger, practicamente solo es caminar porque si quitamos eso la historia dura 2 minutos nomás.

Nah. Absolute Rubbish.
When you realize you came through the door you could not open in Pineview Drive.
