Deep beneath the roots sleeps the Root King, an entity capable of reshaping reality through thirteen legendary gems.But the island is hungry.And it feeds on those the world has forgotten.A gothic tale of psychological horror, mystery, friendship, and ancient secrets, Where the Pines Swallow Names begins a haunting journey into a realm where memory itself can be devoured.
