Though they appeared quite different on the surface, both narratives were intertwined around the same powerful themes. The dream conjured up memories of Joseph 's complicated, and often troubled, relationship with his own father, and as I continued the fox 's adventure, both parallel stories unfurled at once though his voiceovers. More and more, the dream was revealed as I played through an ongoing conversation between the couple. I quickly discovered that I was essentially playing the dream Joseph just woke from, about a fox in the wilderness searching for her lost cubs. As I made the little critter take its first steps, a conversation between a couple-Joseph and Rachel-began to play over the nature scene. The First Tree starts with a fox in the center of a snowy field between towering mountains, but I quickly discovered that the game wasn 't really about the fox at all.
One of the latest to hit the console scene is The First Tree, created by one-man development team David Wehle.įrom the first frames of the game 's trailer, I knew it was something I 'd love to play, and was thrilled when I was offered a review key of the game for the Nintendo Switch to experience it for myself. I 've loved games including Firewatch, What Remains of Edith Finch and Gone Home, which involve exploring a space and slowly piecing together the bigger story with what 's discovered. As much as I love frenetic action games or puzzles that put my wits to the test, lately I 've been obsessed with video games that are all about the narrative.
