The game tries to reflect that story with a story of a fox and its cups. However that is the greatest weakness of the game. The story has no real direction and way into the game introduces a poorly explained reason to move on. The voice acting is not very good, but does get the job done. The ending tries to leave an emotional impact, however the build up is so bad that it does not work. The only positive of the game is the artstyle. Its use of color is extremely powerful and that makes the game look very eye pleasing. Unfortunatly the game does not deliver in it's other more important levels.

There isn’t much to do here in this game but go forward, collect the stars that lead you to the next part of the game, soakin in the beautiful worlds, listen to the stories, and hope for the best for your little fox friend.And in general this is a beautiful game, from its message, to its world,I loved every minute of it.Again there isn’t much here to this game other than an emotional experience through its unique story telling, but this is one worth taking.I give The First Treea 7/10

I really liked graphic but it was glitching sometimes. By glitching graphics I mean it was not rendering on longer distance (I have great PC). I must admit sometimes it was boring, but maybe because I was staying on one spot to not skip conversation and then run, sometimes I didn't know where to go but I liked the surrounding world soo it wasn't soo bad. I enjoyed music and conversations. Soo to summary I liked art style, but it was glitchy sometimes, great music and story, sometimes bugs or not knowing direction where to go and sometimes it felt empty. In the end nice 2 hours of my life.

I’d love to have played a game that tried to explore that rocky landscape, with some nuance, some introspection, and most of all, with some humility. This is not that game.

The First Tree tells a touching story aided by some nice graphics and a good soundtrack, but it's unluckily ruined by a too boring and repetitive gameplay and an overly short length.
