81 - How to be a Tree

Have you ever wanted to know how to be a tree? Well, if so, good news, because this week we play a game that teaches you 16 different ways to do just that. In this unusual take on the platformer, you take control of a fractal tree and control its shape by altering the angles of the individual branches. We start by struggling to even define and describe the core mechanic of this game, before talking about each separate branch (haha) of the narrative, each one more surreal than the last.
