Beacon Pines' narrative has an engaging pacing and a is crafted with a finesse I didn't expect to find here.
The story beats are... kinda intense. The always present awesome music is explosive at most times, and the unique art style tirelessly begs you to look at every inch of it. The variety of the narrative tones keep this intensity from feeling bland and turns it, instead, into a way of reinforcing the story being told.
I really enjoyed my time with this game, and for me it almost perfectly shows the ways that short, story focused games can add an unique flair to the narrative that wouldn't be so easily achievable on a game with a larger scope. It feels different, and I love it for that.
