Evaluation

Pine launched on October 10, 2019 and received active post-launch support through early 2021. In the months following launch, Twirlbound shipped a series of patches addressing bugs and adding improvements — most notably Patch 8 (June 24, 2020), which brought a significant engine upgrade, combat overhaul, and new language support, and Patch 12 (September 24, 2020), which added Japanese and Simplified Chinese. The Pine Original Soundtrack was released as a standalone DLC on December 19, 2019, and a vinyl edition of that soundtrack launched for pre-order on February 5, 2021 — the last official communication from the developer regarding Pine. After February 5, 2021, all developer activity shifted away from Pine. The studio's next public-facing milestone was the launch of their follow-up game, The Knightling, on August 28, 2025 — described by Twirlbound as a project they had been working on for several years as a successor to Pine. There are no unreleased DLC listings, no announced future updates, and no developer statements indicating further content for Pine is planned. The only DLC ever listed (the soundtrack) has been released. The game shipped as a complete single-player experience and Twirlbound has moved on to their next project.

About this game

A Story of Humans

Pine is an open world action adventure simulation game. Set in the beautiful world of Albamare, you take on the role of Hue, a smart young adult who will have to explore, trade, and fight his way through a vibrant world filled with creatures much smarter than humans.


Their Story Becomes Yours

As you're looking for a new home for your tribe to settle in, you'll have to engage with the large-scale ecology of Albamare. Prepare by exploring, bartering, talking, crafting and fighting in six different biomes, with and against a diverse cast of species that will not simply help you.


A Struggle for Survival

In Pine, things will happen across the open game world even without your involvement. All organisms are alive and will try what they can to survive. You can choose to befriend a species, fight alongside them, or you may also to attack them, steal their food or force them to abandon their current habitat. All of this will make the species move across the ecological spectrum.
