The First Tree - Whelly
Wow, can't believe it's happening! Tomorrow you'll finally be able to play The First Tree.



Some reviewers have already played the game, and while most of them have liked it, a couple of them practically hated it. So I want to clarify some things, just so we're on the same page! This is a story-driven experience with minimalist gameplay. It isn't a "fox simulator" game, and it's not even a platformer or puzzle game. It's also a one-man indie project with imperfections. However, if you're looking for an atmospheric, emotional story which gives you time to reflect on these characters and their lives, you will probably like the game. :)

Naturally if you run into any weird bugs, let me know in the Discussion Forums! I've already fixed a bunch of stuff, but more are sure to show up unexpectedly. And lastly, nothing would help me more than sharing the game tomorrow as much as you can! Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, Imgur are great places! It would help make this dream of mine come true. Thanks everyone! I hope you enjoy your journey to The First Tree.

The First Tree - Whelly
Soon you will be able to take your journey to The First Tree! September 14 is the official day, and will launch with achievements, trading cards, translated interface in 7 different languages, and English subtitles ready for fan translations. Can't wait to show you this story I've worked on for the past two years which is near and dear to me.



The First Tree has also been accepted into the Indie MEGABOOTH at PAX West 2017! I'll be in the Minibooth section specifically on the first two days, and I hope to see you guys there! I'll have some button pins and flyers to give away, and of course you'll be able to play a special demo I've prepared of the game.

Please share the new launch trailer on Twitter, Reddit, Facebook, etc. That would help so much, it really does! Thanks for the support, and I can't wait for September.
