This blends point-and-click adventure with interactive art. In this moody but lovely little gem, you play a small, crawly... something... that hatches deep underground. It's clear you want to get out and up, but when you're a little squirmy... green... thingy, the world is very big and scary, and you'll have to figure out the strange logic of the world you're in to make your way forward. Click around to clear the way forward, finding new ways to interact with your environment and remove obstacles. It's an odd little experience where the most frustrating thing you might encounter is simply spending a lot of time watching your new grubby little friend crawl slowly along the ground. The art is beautiful and the environments manage to be both alien and familiar. Don't expect it to make a whole lot of sense, but if you're looking for a bit of otherworldly beauty to brighten your day, The Old Tree is the perfect choice. |
