A beautiful, 3rd-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 their own. Uncover artifacts from the young couple's life as they too become intertwined in the fox's journey towards The First Tree.

By Fernando SánchezThe First Tree is a narrative experience with an atypical but working crossroads of stories, and an audiovisual section that, within its humility, stands out, especially the soundtrack. If you like the genre and other works with similar characteristics such as Journey or Firewatch, you are in front of a recommended game. A little more than two hours, a little more if we go for all the collectibles, which will immerse us in beautiful surroundings and a beautiful story between a father and a son, without forgetting the fox we will use.

By Daniel GarrodAn incredible passion project eschewing video game norms and wearing its heart proudly on its sleeve, The First Tree is a masterfully executed work of art and storytelling showcasing the harsh realities of life even in the face of beautiful surroundings.
Planet PlayStation
By Charles KyleWhile this game is a treat to play. It is even more of a therapeutic experience for the player. During the time playing this, I personally lost someone and laid them to rest which brought the story home tenfold. The game's usage of visual metaphors from the narration to the game going full circle and placing the player as the narrator at the end of the game. It was a clever end to a deeply personal story. One that I will not soon forget. This is one of those games that you can play today and write the review 10 years later and still have the details so vividly in your mind. I can tell you right now that David Wehle is going to go places. It's not a question of if, but when. Do yourself a favor that you will not likely forget, click the link below and experience this masterpiece for yourself.
Push Square
By Rebecca StowEverything aside from the story is simplistic, but it doesn't matter if the puzzles are non-existent or that the graphics are basic, because The First Tree packs an emotional narrative and is a game that every indie fan should play as a result.
