It was beautifulIf you are looking for a story driven exploration game, this is the game. I was captivated almost immediately by the scenery. It was beautiful and fun to look at. The way the coloration is used to express the mood, how the music would change or go silent depending on what was going on in the story that was being told. All the little Easter eggs of the mans story spread throughout the areas. This game was a fun ride, very mellow and had some small puzzles to solve, but otherwise it was all about the story. I would highly recommend this game if you are looking for something that is calm, story driven and will keep you going for a good while. I played the whole story from start to end in one sitting. Very good game, i will play again to see what i may have missed.… Expand

The story is pretty good and feels personal. It's easy to relate to. I like the graphics. The vegetation isn't always accurate but there is a reason for that. There isn't much to do apart moving the story. The jumping mechanic isn't very elegant or fluid and there is basically 2 small puzzles. I like the music and the atmosphere in the game. Considering it's a game made by 1-2 persons, it's a nice piece of work. I give it a 78%. And thanks for the nice story.… Expand

   Going through the two stories while listening to the beautiful soundtrack of The First Tree proved to be a calm ride.
   The narrator's story did not entirely manage to grab me but listening to his personal story was at times relatable but more importantly emotional.
   Our fluffy mother fox and her adventure in the pretty game world is what gave a soul to this game though.
   There is no one story without the other.
   
   It could have been polished even further though.
   While the landscape is pretty, you often see more clunky areas that could have been worked on to make the game world look even more impressive. Draw Distance and foliage density could have been increased greatly.
   To add, the pace of the game could have been enchanted a bit.
   
   The last thing is the price. I liked this game but I can't see myself buying this game for 9.99€.
   Recommended on sale for those who are looking for a good short story.… Expand

   If you hated Death Stranding then this game would be your arch enemy. Death Stranding is action packed compared to this. As far as I went withIf you hated Death Stranding then this game would be your arch enemy. Death Stranding is action packed compared to this. As far as I went with it the whole game consisted of simply running around open landscapes without any content. I wouldn't call this a game. It's just a medium where the creator wanted to tell his story. Unfortunately he probably doesn't understand how a video game works.
   There's nothing to do here. You go from one star to another star and some blobs of dirt that you can dig up. These contain items relevant to the story to be told. When you dig one up, a small dialog occurs between the creator and his wife. This is all that's to be seen here.
   I believe that his story might be interesting for some but for me it was not enough to get over one of the most boring gameplays I have ever seen... and that's knowing it's only a 2 hours long product. I'd rather just read what he has to tell.… Expand

Very amateur animation, and really nothing to the game other than just walking through a field, collecting some coins and listening to some cheesy narration.
   Beautiful soundtrack, poor everything else.… Expand

   This was the biggest waste of $10 in my life. Save your money, don't try this out of curiosity, just trust me.
