The Great Tree released for Mac by Independent game developer Reflexive
Entertainment
Reflexive is proud to bring The Great Tree's beautiful world of mystery and adventure
to Mac users everywhere.
Lake Forest, CA – July 22, 2008 – Whispers speak of something
sinister in the shadows. The time of the Great Descent draws nigh,
but the Great Tree is failing. Stripped of its source of energy,
its life force is running out. The fairy Wren, whose lives are
intertwined with the tree, must find a way to collect the pollen that
can save The Great Tree...and themselves.The Great
Tree was critically acclaimed when it was released on the PC last
December for bringing a grown-up story of good and evil together with
gameplay that surprises and stunning moments that are unlike anything
you'll find in any other game.
Now after months of thoughtful work,
Reflexive Entertainment (www.reflexive-inc.com) is proud to announce the
Mac release of The Great
Tree, putting the survival of an enchanted world into the hands of Mac
users everywhere.
Drawn and painted by the same award-winning artist behind Wik: Fable of
Souls, The Great Tree transports players into a beautifully dark world
full of magic and mystery. The story of the faeries known as the
Wren is one fraught with intrigue and danger. Told through
drawings and poignant voice, the epic story has been carefully put
together through blood, sweat and tears, to bring players a unique
gaming experience.
Taking on the role of one of the Wren selected to collect pollen,
players hear the story through cinematic interludes and then live it
through the levels. Using magical powers and agile movements,
players must avoid powerful and innovative enemies that literally come
alive from the background in ways that are both exciting and horrifying.
"Watching a mushroom that you thought was just a pretty picture in the
background open its eyes, change its expression and then open its mouth to try
to eat you is just one of many amazing moments in this game that will
startle, surprise and in the end simply amaze you," said Ion Hardie,
Director of Product Development. "It contains moments that are as unique
and enjoyable
as anything I've ever seen in any game."
Featuring stunning locales, surprising enemies, and 100
tantalizing levels, The
Great Tree provides an amazing gaming experience, which feels akin
to an epic film than a simple game.

game's demo for Mac (and PC as well), can now be found at The Great
Tree game's website:
