I do wish that more was revealed about the middle portion of the main character’s life. The game works by combing these as on it’s own the great story that gets revealed as you are the fox would just be an audio book on it’s own and without the great story the platforming would just be a very simple game. As the fox you can also optionally find mementos from the man’s childhood and collect stars which do serve a slight purpose later on but are still optional. While this goes on you listen to the main character tell childhood stories to his wife. You engage in some light platforming and very light problem solving to navigate the levels.

The game play it does have is good for what it is as well but on it’s own would be a bit disappointing to some. While this goes on you listen The First Tree doesn’t have a ton of game play to it but it makes up for it with a fantastic story and voice acting.
