Our take on Asbury Pines
Its defining structure is a murder mystery distributed across 12 eras, with production networks linking workers and resources from the distant past to the deep future.
What is Asbury Pines?
Asbury Pines blends incremental resource management with a murder mystery spanning a town’s history.
Players direct over 50 people, plants, and animals, each with individual attributes and backstories, to produce resources and advance through 12 eras, beginning in prehistory and reaching a distant future. Characters, artifacts, and locations can be combined into production networks and automated systems across eras. Unlocking workers, places, upgrades, conversations, and documents reveals more of the investigation. The game offers 350+ stories to discover, optional offline progress, adjustable speed, and no microtransactions. Resource planning and factory-style automation are tied to narrative development across multiple periods.
