Description

The First Tree is a third-person exploration game centered around two parallel stories: a fox trying to find her missing family, and a young couple dealing with a tragedy in theirs. Players take control of the fox on a poignant and beautiful journey that crescendos at the source of life, and perhaps results in the understanding of death. Along the way, players can uncover artifacts and stories from the young couple’s life as they too become intertwined in the fox’s journey towards The First Tree.

Features:
• Not a "fox simulator," but an emotional, intimate story by a one-man team with an ending you won't soon forget.
• Featuring a gorgeous, orchestral soundtrack by acclaimed artists like Message to Bears, Lowercase Noises, and Josh Kramer.
• A short story-driven game (about 2 hours long) with some light puzzle solving, platforming, and no enemies.

The First Tree

If you like calm games where you walk around and enjoy a relaxing, perhaps somewhat sad story that makes you think, then this is the right game for you. Beautiful story ?

Details

Graphics: 4

Not the best graphics, but other aspects of the game make up for it.

Sound/Music: 7

Sad, touching music, very good.

Gameplay: 4

It's running around and collecting stuff scattered in the world while experiencing the story.

Story: 9

I liked the story a lot. It involves multiple characters talking about their lives while you play as a fox and experience its story too. The ending was predictable but still good and sad, even brought out a tear or two.

Controls: 4

The controls are so-so, but they're okay since the focus is more on the story.

Replay Value: 3

You can replay to get all achievements, but personally, one playthrough was enough for me as it's mainly story-focused.

Difficulty: 1

Not difficult at all.

Value for Money: ?

I would say everyone has to decide for themselves. I really like games like this, but for the time, I needed 99 minutes to complete the game. For €10, that's not much. I bought the game on sale with a 90% discount for €0.97, and that was 100% worth it.

Playtime: It took me around 99 minutes to complete the main story.
