Wehle expects players to finish The First Tree in just and hour or two, and says that the price will be set fairly low as a result. Though its title might remind film buffs of The Tree of Life, don’t expect anything nearly as long and complex as director Terrence Malick’s 2011 film. Wehle lists the contemporary adventure Firewatch as a comparable experience, and while you can certainly see some similarities in art style, The First Tree also uses a very simple, almost papercraft-inspired design for foliage and even pentagonal lens flares that give everything a very surreal aesthetic.
