About

Paper Tree

Read full description

This game exists because of Mark. He was six, and he said: "I want a game about a tree." So we made him one โ€” out of paper. Tap the seed and watch your tree come alive: branches unfold, leaves unfurl, blossoms open in spring and turn into apples by summer. Every tree is cut from paper โ€” rough edges, hard shadows, and that gentle stop-motion wobble, like a craft-table world that breathes. GROW A REAL GARDEN When your tree is fully grown, plant a new seed. The old tree doesn't disappear โ€” it stays in your garden, keeps growing year after year, blooms every spring and gives apples every autumn. The camera pulls back, and seed by seed you grow a whole orchard. Then a cherry-blossom glade. Then an evergreen forest. Then a fiery maple grove. A GAME WITHOUT WORDS There is not a single word inside the game. Everything speaks in pictures โ€” so a three-year-old understands it, and it works in every language on Earth on day one. WHAT'S INSIDE - Four living seasons: blossoms, harvest, leaf-fall, and quiet snow - Golden butterflies to catch and wishes to fulfil - A sticker album with sets to complete - Bees, birds, a squirrel, and other helpers to unlock - Your garden grows on its own while you're away - A daily gift on the tree โ€” no streaks, no pressure WHAT'S NOT INSIDE - No ads. Ever. - No in-app purchases. - No internet required โ€” plays fully offline, on a plane or in the woods. - No data collection. Nothing leaves the device. - No reading required. No time pressure. Nothing to lose. Under 10 MB โ€” smaller than one photo. Made with love, paper, and scissors. Thanks, Mark.
