Wik devs plant The Great Tree for PC

by Jason Dobson on Dec 5th 2007 10:20AM

With 14 titles to its credit, developer Reflexive Entertainment is feeling mighty proud of itself, sticking out its chest and passing out cigars as it awaits the arrival of its 15th and latest progeny, a "grown-up story of good and evil" called The Great Tree. Set for release for the PC on December 19, the game is illustrated by the same artist behind Wik and the Fable of Souls, and even a cursory glance at this latest game's initial screens shows much in common between the two titles, namely with characters and designs that creep us right out. Even so, the game certainly looks interesting, as it lets you control a diminutive (and customizable) fairy throughout 100 different tree-filled levels, though if they are populated with creatures like that eerie tree-face thing, we're likely not to make it very far.

Hmm, pretty sure that's a mushroom-face. Someone forgot to tell this dev that drug r bad, mmmkay?

Yea..mushroom. That's even worse. I'm not sure why, but it is.

Looks like Robin Williams.

Looks like Ron Paul

Then it's probably RuPaul

I hope its not inspired by the giving tree. that made me so sad...

Wik was a superb game with a great stylistic nature to it. This really seems to hold the same values as it's predecessor. Should be interesting to say the least, and I mean come on, what's not to like about a mushroom face forest where you control a fairy!

I will only play this game if the mushroom/trees are voiced by any of the following:

Abe Vigoda
Ernest Borgnine
Steven Jay Blum (he's in eeeeeeverything :p)
...or that bizarre "Happy Little(Berries & Cream)Lad".
