From the creator of Home is Where One Starts… comes The First Tree, a third-person exploration game centered around two parallel stories: a fox trying to find her missing family, and a son reconnecting with his father in Alaska. 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. 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.
Key Features:
For fans of Journey, Firewatch, and Shelter.
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 soundtrack by acclaimed artists like Message to Bears, Lowercase Noises, and Josh Kramer.
A short game (about an hour and a half) focused on story with some light puzzle solving and platforming.

I picked this up because “oh that looks cute,” and instead got emotionally wrecked. You play as a fox searching for her lost cubs while listening to a man quietly unpack his childhood and his relationship with his father. It’s simple—collecting sparkling stars, chasing butterflies, wandering through dreamy landscapes—but the feelings sneak up on you fast. I did not expect a fox game to make me cry, yet here we are.

Good game. The tranquil environments and touching narrative come together to create a memorable journey. Exploring each area reveals small pieces of the story that gradually build toward an emotional conclusion. A thoughtful adventure that leaves a lasting impression through its atmosphere and storytelling.
