Everyone should go check out In the Pines IMMEDIATELY!!!
Somehow tomorrow is October 1st.
I’ll be releasing the pdf of In the Pines, my survival horror PBtA game where a group of women go camping to bond, and find…something is there with them.
It’s the ashcan, so play it and tell me what you think! I’d like to make it a better game.
