## Description

Pine is an interactive and emotional short story told wordlessly through hand-drawn animation and music, designed to be played in a single sitting. It follows the story of a woodworker grieving the recent passing of his wife in a glade they loved. His daily chores - tending the garden, gathering wood for winter - are juxtaposed with memories of their time together, which he preserves in delicate carvings from the wood he collects.

This story-driven experience emphasizes accessible, engaging interactions that pull you into the woodworker's world. Features include: The Insistence of Memory, where chores are interrupted by memories; Meticulous Mementoes, a carving mechanic that turns memories into keepsakes; A Wordless Short Story, told through visuals and sound; and Lovingly Crafted presentation with hand-drawn animation, an evocative score, and immersive sound effects. Pine is designed as a single-serving game that invites reflection and memory.
