Review: Pinstripe – A Short But Surprisingly Scary Trip That's Sure To Leave Its Mark

Scarily good.

From its opening moments right up until the last few seconds as the credits began to roll, Pinstripe had us emotionally hooked. The game, which was painstakingly developed almost entirely by just one man over a five-year period, tells the story of Ted, an ex-minister who gets thrown headfirst into a nightmare-inducing series of events. Luckily for us, as the player, these horrific events allow for a pretty stellar video game, and one that will no doubt leave an impression on us over the days to come.

Our tale kicks off with a seemingly innocent train journey, with Ted and his young daughter, Bo, merrily chatting away. You can respond to Bo’s comments in either a loving or disinterested manner, and the two of you soon set off through the train’s carriages completing small, easy puzzles. It doesn’t take long for you to grow attached to this relationship, but things soon take a turn for the worse as a creepy, mysterious stranger called Pinstripe appears before you. After some discussion, Pinstripe kidnaps your daughter, and we felt a genuine sense of anger and upset at his actions right from the off thanks to the great writing and story pacing leading up to the event.
