8 itemsAbout the Game
The Promise Tree of Alden is a short, atmospheric narrative experience about remorse, memory, and the silence of a forest once alive.
You play as Alden — a man burdened by the past, haunted by what he surrendered: his home among the trees.
Most of the journey unfolds as a contemplative walking experience, where every step deepens the bond between man and nature. Yet, at times, you’ll ascend into the mist — soaring among ethereal orbs that drift through the air. These fragile lights aren’t always easy to find, turning your search into a quiet challenge of discovery and perception.
Breathe in the lingering fog of what once was. Let the forest tell its story — not through words, but through light, sound, and stillness. The Promise Tree of Alden is a brief but heartfelt passage through loss, memory, and the faint glow of redemption.
PS: The core aspect of this game is the atmosphere. It is recommended for those who mostly seek to experience the mood.
