The First Tree

With a big focus on exploration, The First Three is a third-person game that takes you through two parallel stories - one of a fox trying to find her missing family and another about a son reconnecting with his estranged father. As the world is meant for exploring, it’s beautifully detailed, with grass moving in the wind and subtle animations around various objects. The story itself is beautiful too if the graphics don’t pull you in on their own.

As you find yourself avoiding hazards and traveling through obstacles, you’ll be amazed at how realistic it all looks.
