Current baseline. Game-data statements on this site were read from this build, extracted September 30, 2026.
Official sources
The publisher's and developer's own store pages and channels. Pages also cite the official Silver Pines Discord; Discord messages are named by channel and date and are not linked, because they can only be read after joining the server.
How we read the game files
Values read from the game files come from the Silver Pines Demo, Steam build 23642600 (Demo Patch 2), extracted on September 30, 2026 from a local installation. They describe the demo only: the full game had not been released when they were read, and only the parts that cover the demo's own areas are used. No author gameplay testing is claimed unless a page says so.
How each evidence label is used, how conflicting sources are handled and how to report a mistake are explained in the Editorial Policy.
