what is Asbury Pines?

Uncover a murder mystery by managing resources and linking characters across eras in this narrative idle game.

Asbury Pines blends idle gameplay with rich storytelling, tasking players with combining the work of townfolk from the stone age to the future. Build resource production chains, unlock characters and artifacts, and reveal a complex murder mystery spanning twelve eras through strategic management and automation.

It sits in the Idle / Management / Narrative / Minimalist / Prototype corner of the genre. Like most idle games it runs on a simple loop — earn, reinvest, automate — but the depth is in how long that loop keeps unfolding. Expect to check in, make a few decisions, and watch the numbers climb whether you're at the keyboard or not.
