Silver Pines is a great survival horror throwback with an unexpected Metroidvania twist, but it makes me glad the genre's moved on

It's those bloody typewriters all over again. Developer Wych Elm Games' Silver Pines is fantastic in a whole bunch of ways, from its woozy small-town ambience to its mix of taut survival horror and exploratory Metroidvania.

AI Summary

Eurogamer’s commentary praises Wych Elm Games’ Silver Pines as a strong survival‑horror throwback that blends a moody 1950s small‑town setting with Metroidvania exploration. The reviewer highlights the game’s atmospheric diner opening, its “bloody typewriters” aesthetic, and quirky mechanics like a save system tied to a coin‑insert phone box. Players control private investigator Red Walker, whose jittery, Valium‑slurred demeanor leads him into a mystery involving a missing musician and a motel room. While the piece lauds these elements, it notes that the genre has evolved beyond the formula Silver Pines revisits.
