The First Tree coming to Switch
Creator David Wehle has announced that The First Tree is coming to consoles, including Switch. DO Games has been brought on board to work on the port.
The First Tree a third-person exploration game. You’ll play as a fox while two concurrent stories unfold – one about a fox trying to find her missing family, and another involving a son reconnecting with his father in Alaska.
We’ve included more information about The First Tree below. Wehle hopes to have the console versions ready for late 2018.
From the creator of Home is Where One Starts… comes The First Tree, a third-person exploration game centered around two parallel stories: a fox trying to find her missing family, and a son reconnecting with his father in Alaska. Players take control of the fox on a poignant and beautiful journey that crescendos at the source of life, and perhaps result in an understanding of death. Along the way, players can uncover artifacts and stories from the son’s life as he becomes intertwined in the fox’s journey towards The First Tree.
Key Features:
– For fans of Journey, Firewatch, and Shelter.

– Featuring a gorgeous soundtrack by acclaimed artists like Message to Bears, Lowercase Noises, and Josh Kramer.
