Silver Pines is a 2D Side Scrolling, Survival Horror Metroidvania about Private Investigator Red Walker who awakens in the middle of a diner unsure of anything, including where he is, how he got there and what he’s supposed to do. After rummaging around the diner, Red learns that something caused the town of Silver Pines to evacuate. As he steps foot outside the diner, the payphone begins to ring suspiciously. Curious, Red picks up the phone. At the other end, is a voice that asks if he has found musician Eddie Velvet who mysteriously disappeared in the town of Silver Pines. Red quickly learns that something is wrong in Silver Pines and now survival is equally as important as closing the case. Silver Pines is being developed by a small team of just four people from Sweden which is important because like most European horror it feels much more stylized and purposeful.
