Evaluation

TREE is a short, free-to-play narrative experience created by a group of developers during a game jam. The store description presents it as a self-contained story — "a short story that may, or may not, have a meaning behind it" — with no mention of future updates, additional content, or ongoing development. The game launched on August 13, 2018 as a complete, finished product. No DLC has been listed, no roadmaps or content announcements have been made, and the developer's news posts consist only of community appreciation, awards recognition, a soundtrack release, and minor UI compatibility updates — none of which signal any planned development work. This is a game that shipped complete and has received only incidental maintenance since launch.

About this game

TREE tells a story of a boy who plants his first tree. And at first, it looks like a little inconsequential act, but with time, a bond develops between the two that will last a lifetime.

We are a group of veteran game developers. Perhaps we wanted to get something of our collective chest, or we just simply game jammed together.
For each one of us, TREE has a different meaning.
