Evaluation

Passing Pineview Forest is a free mini-prequel to Pineview Drive, released on November 21, 2014. The store description presents it as a self-contained experience — a short atmospheric walking game set in the same universe as Pineview Drive. There is no DLC, no post-launch update history, no roadmap, and no developer communications indicating any future content was ever planned. The game was designed and released as a standalone, finished promotional/companion piece. It also functions as a tech demo for the Oculus Rift DK2. There is nothing to suggest the developer ever intended to expand this title beyond what shipped at launch.

Evidence

About this game

Passing Pineview Forest is a free mini-prequel set in the universe of Pineview Drive. Behind the abandoned house on Pineview Drive lies ominous Pineview Forest. The dark, foreboding forest trail leading directly to the Pineview property must be explored – but your every move and reaction is being watched. You must stay calm during your walk – or else IT will take you! To survive you will need steady nerves; for any trace of fear comes at a price — your life.

About Pineview Drive

An old abandoned mansion lies at the dead end of Pineview Drive. A troubled man is standing at its gates, looking over the property. 20 years ago he had visited this estate with his wife Linda. During their stay his beloved vanished without a trace – her mysterious disappearance unresolved.

For 20 years no clues, for 20 years no peace, for 20 years this house on Pineview Drive has not relinquished its tormenting grip on him. Now, he returns in hopes of coming to terms with his nightmarish past.

The ominous legends haunting this seaside lodge have become renown. The stories abound that no one has been able to endure more than 30 days within the mansion since Linda’s disappearance. Facing a force greater than you ever imagined, you must cross the threshold and confront the evil that envelops this cryptic cottage. To solve the mystery of Linda’s disappearance and lift the veil on this troubling history, there is no time to spare.

Oculus Rift

This game additionally acts as a tech demo and supports the Oculus Rift (DK2). It should be noted that a DX11 system is mandatory. To start the Oculus version please select it via the integrated launcher.
