A downloadable game for Windows and macOS

3D, Short, First Person, Escherian, Maze, Walking Puzzle, My First Game Jam

Controls: WASD/Mouse

Welcome to The Tree, where you'll step into an acorn and out of a giant oak. Maybe the acorn is an NFT supported by the Etherium blockchain. Maybe you'll wonder if I've ever even SEEN an oak tree before. Maybe the hallways are made of digitally compacted plastic bottles to help reduce our carbon footprint. I'll tell this much - none of these considerations will affect your play. Should. None of them SHOULD affect your play.

For a soundtrack, I'd recommend something in the arena of George Harrison doing the dishes. I couldn't actually secure George's involvement with this project.

If you do like this sort of game there's another similar game I'm working on that should be less, you know, short. And more, you know, puzzling. Shoot me a message if you're interested in the Beta when it comes around.

Created for the GoGodotJam May 2021. I made everything but the font and the movement template.

If you're still reading and/or downloading: I do hope you enjoy your time with this game - I hope it's at least half as fun for you to play as it was for me to make.

can't believe you had a 3 year ago teaser for Lingo 2

Icely? Oh, I guess its you. Warp Sokoban Advanced have appeared now.

This is wonderfully confusing and I couldn't even find the end, but a fun game nonetheless. I think you should extend the walls at the start though, taking a glance into the endless void below isn't very nice.

Thanks for the feedback! How far did you get? I played with panoramas etc. but none of them felt right. Probably needs more ground cover. I'm hoping G4 gives us some nicer options for procedural skies.

Did you try jumping into the void? :D

I did not try jumping into the void, wanted to play the game lol.
