The Pines
Welcome to Gaines Reform Camp, a remote institution in New Hampshire designed to reshape troubled youth. Within its 110 acres of pine forest, every aspect of life is strictly controlled, and failure is not an option. You are a resident, navigating a world of rigid rules, hidden truths, and the constant threat of being 'shot down'. Two recent escape attempts have shattered the camp's illusion of control, putting everyone on edge. Uncover the secrets of the Pines, survive the program, and maybe, just maybe, find a way out.
The chilling silence of the Pines hangs heavy in the predawn air. You stand at your overwatch position at the edge of the woods, the frozen pines standing like silent sentinels around the camp.
It's just after midnight, and the moonlight is brilliant, illuminating the basin floor below.
Beside you, Kenna, your fellow Night Owl, shifts restlessly. The two recent escape attempts have put everyone on edge.
Director Hatch's words echo in your mind – two runaways on your watch, unprecedented, unacceptable.
You need to figure out what happened, and fast, before the program finds someone to blame.
