I'm about to take a giant shit on a game that, for all I know, could well be a developer processing his own feelings about his losing his dad. Most prominently, the death of a man's father. Sanctimonious from the opening moments, this is a mediocre third-person exploration game made nauseating by the most self-obsessed narration I've ever encountered. For me, The First Tree leaps over that line with a clumsily implemented, wildly incongruous double-jump. Please note: A fast, modern device with at least 2GB of RAM is required to enjoy The First Tree.There is a fine line a lot of introspective indie games are walking, between a careful exploration of memories and events, and solipsism. A short story-driven game (about 2 hours long) with some light puzzle solving, platforming, and no enemies.Featuring a gorgeous, orchestral soundtrack by acclaimed artists like Message to Bears, Lowercase Noises, and Josh Kramer.Not a 'fox simulator,' but an emotional, intimate story by a one-man team with an ending you won't soon forget.Along the way, players can uncover artifacts and stories from the son's life as he becomes intertwined in the fox’s journey towards The First Tree.

Players take control of the fox on a poignant and beautiful journey that crescendos at the source of life, and perhaps result in an understanding of death. The First Tree is a third-person exploration game centered around two parallel stories: a fox trying to find her missing family, and a son reconnecting with his estranged father in Alaska. A beautiful, 3rd-person exploration game about a fox.
