But that’s not all! In addition to this, the Beacon Beacon has been able to secure our dedicated readers a 10% discount for launch week thanks to our friends at the Last Chance Diner. To celebrate the occasion, Hiding Spot will be broadcasting a stream of the game on launch day. Be sure to tune in and join the festivities!
Despite this editor’s protests, the Beacon Beacon interviewed Luka VanHorn and Rolo Cotter for their thoughts on the news:
“Rolo, did you hear? Beacon Pines is coming out in just a week! That’s really soon!”
“Luka… Beacon Pines has been around for ages. See how we’re standing in it right now?”
“Not the town, Rolo! The game, remember? You, me, Beck, investigating creepy mysteries?”
“Oh right - I forgot that we're video game stars now.”
“The real star of the game is the Chronicle - it lets players jump to different points of the story and totally change what happens with hidden Charms they find!”
“That's weirder than anything I've read about in Hank Atomic.”
“It's all true, Rolo! And it'll be out on September 22nd.”
“Oh yeah, speaking of Hank Atomic, remember when he used a soda bottle for a makeshift jetpack and then he-”
That’s quite enough of that.

An exciting day today, as Mr. Wilder received the news from Fellow Traveller, an indie game publisher who specialises in narrative games, that our wonderful game Beacon Pines will be releasing on September 22 on all good gaming stores like: Xbox One, Xbox Game Pass, Windows Store, Steam, Nintendo Switch, and other PC stores. Local town grump Geoff was less than impressed and had this to say: “Another cockamamie waste of time if you ask me. All this cheeriness and celebrating. Phooey!”
William Kerr, CEO of Perennial Harvest, was quick to inform the Beacon Beacon, “The alleged giant laser beam seen at the start of this trailer is incredibly unimportant! Just some bad weather really. We should be focused on the wonderful scenery of Beacon Pines, and the exciting Festival which Perennial Harvest is preparing. I encourage all viewers to enjoy this perfectly normal trailer in which nothing suspicious happens. And be sure to get in touch with us at Perennial Harvest! We’d love to hear your thoughts.”
The Beacon Beacon was able to secure an interview with the developers at Hiding Spot despite their busy schedule. “We’d like to thank everyone who has supported us throughout the development of Beacon Pines. Whether you’re a backer of our Kickstarter, following us on Twitter or TikTok, chatting in Discord, discovering us for the first time, or even just reading this news post right now, your love of the world and characters of Beacon Pines has helped bring it to life.”

A momentous occasion for the town of Beacon Pines, as the eagerly anticipated game (also titled Beacon Pines), goes gold!
For those not up-to-date with this lingo, this means that the game has had platform approval to release! Truly worthwhile news indeed. Mayor Augustus Valentine had this to say: "Um, uh... you really should speak to Mr. Kerr. He's better at these things than I am."
Also interviewed was young Luka VanHorn. "There's something strange going on in this town, and me and my friends are the only ones who seem to notice. If the adults won’t listen, then we’ll just have to take matters into our own hands."
William Kerr, CEO of Perennial Harvest, told the Beacon Beacon, "It truly is an exciting time for Beacon Pines! A time when, I can declare with certainty, nothing strange is going on. In fact, this may be the least strange time in the history of Beacon Pines. Isn’t that wonderful?! That is why we’ve planned a festival, in celebration of just how strangeless this town has become. All thanks to Perennial Harvest!"
Hiding Spot, the developers of Beacon Pines, were quoted as saying, “We can’t wait to show Beacon Pines to our fans who have been following the game since its Kickstarter, those who have discovered it throughout development, and anyone who may be finding out about it for the first time! Our tiny team has poured everything we can into this game, and we’re really proud of how it turned out.”
With its beautiful hand-drawn illustrations, an intriguing tale where you play as both the reader of a mysterious book and its main character Luka, and using charms to change the outcome of the story, Beacon Pines is a game you'll want to explore every inch of. Stay tuned, as the Beacon Beacon has it on good authority that the game’s release date will be revealed very soon.
An exciting time indeed, the Beacon Beacon awaits the Festival in anticipation!
