The Old Tree — ничего не понятно, но очень интересно. Всё происходящее на экране можно описать как сон с температурой под 40°C. Мы играем за какую-то хинкалину с четырьмя щупальцами. Весь геймплей строится на простом "тыкнул сюда, тыкнул туда" — и через 10 минут игра пройдена. Визуал и музыка создают угнетающую атмосферу, что добавляет особого шарма. В целом, это какая-то психоделика: я так и не понял, что хотел донести автор, но "потыкать" было довольно занятно.
Felt like an episode of Love Death and Robots. It's brief length (15 min) really did make this feel like an episode from an awesome animated show. Gloomy atmosphere, great animations - a lot to love here. Minor complaints would be some sections were a little too dark to see what you were supposed to be interacting with. Your pointer changing to show you what on screen you can actually interact with would've been nice. No worries -there's a great guide in the forums an awesome Steam member made, so this wasn't an issue in the few instances where I got stuck. This is a free game that really everybody should play. I wish the developer had made a full game with this character in the world he is inhabiting. That said, the ending was actually beautiful and felt totally right. It reaches a conclusion and you're left feeling good. Take 15 minutes out of your day to chill with this game if you haven't already.

The Old Tree escorts a microscopic alien baby through wordless point-and-click puzzles in a surreal ascent from underground. Stunning visuals and ambient mood deliver a short cinematic gem free to play in minutes. Relaxing atmospheric delight.
Wonderful game. Initially had some trouble figuring out the puzzles but they're definitely easy. At first I thought the character was a walking green apple, but no it was actually a green alien! Definitely recommend playing, it is one of a kind. I won't spoil the game but all I can say is, [i]"The cheetah is faster dandelion."[/i]
Very cryptic, short, interesting, feels a little bit like samorost It's good, I was amazed that in 15 mins the game/demo was able to do a full story (kind of story) Looks promising, I will be looking forward to see what else this team can create
Want a short fun little adventure with not so hard puzzles. This is it. Really nice.
really good and short .. 7 \ 10
Very short cute game. Basic point and click with nice art.
This is a charming little point-and-click adventure with an... octopus? Well, it only has 4 legs, so maybe its a quatropus?
Игра «The Old Tree» — атмосферное путешествие в мир мистики и приключений. Сюжет вдохновлен легендами о древнем дереве, хранящем тайны прошлого. Геймплей сочетает исследование, головоломки и элементы фэнтези, что делает его увлекательным даже для любителей спокойного темпа. Графика минималистична, но создает насыщенную атмосферу, а звуковое сопровождение усиливает ощущение загадочности. Игра идеально подойдет для тех, кто ценит медленные, но глубокие истории. Хотя количество контента невелико, каждая минута проводимая в мире «The Old Tree», оставляет яркое впечатление.
