The First Tree (Multi, XPd on PC)
Play as a mother fox trying to find her kits. As you explore the world, you'll also uncover the relationship of a son and his estranged father. Yep, it's a "feels" game, so be prepared.

Game is set in Alaska, and even tho the art style is quite "simplistic", it certainly conveys the feeling of remote snowy wilderness well. As you begin the journey, it becomes apparent very quickly that this game is all about the feels. Doesn't take long to figure out that the couple heard discussing current life events are talking about the death of the man's father. Be warned, this is not the only death you'll be facing in this game.

Overall it's a basic 3D "open" zone exploration game. Each level has several points of interest that vary between story exposition dialogue triggers, collectible tchotchkes, and progression triggers that open things, etc. The pacing is good, fox's "walk" and "run" speeds are fine, the overall game took me 3 hours to roll credits on and earn half the achieves.

Mostly what you're doing in this game is listening to the couple relive the man's past with his father as you explore the places mentioned, of sorts? The art IS very stylized so it's more you're exploring the "suggestions" of the places. It's an interesting juxtaposition, playing as a fox, discovering things from the human's past. As expected, the music/ambiance match this setting very well.

Technically, I had no issues running this game on my Linux (Garuda) OS. I don't recall hitting any major bugs. Not entirely surprising as it is "Playable" on the Steam Deck, so it ought to work fine with Linux, heh.

I enjoyed this experience on the whole, but I do like a good kick in the feels to remind yourself you are alive. If you're the same kinda player, I would certainly recommend checking out The First Tree. 👍 👍

I survived the Steam Spring Sale and all I got was 9 games. A couple impulses (Isladers), a couple recommendations (I suspect I personally won't dig Gris but I have to try), and a game I longed for back in the day (Hohokum).

I bought things that I hope I'll appreciate even if I bomb out before the second level.
