Based on a book series almost nobody remembers, Below The Root drops you into a serene world of treehouses, talking children, and deeply philosophical moral choices. Combat does not exist. Instead, you explore, read minds, and try to resolve conflicts by being kind and empathetic. It is like if Mr. Rogers made a fantasy adventure. The game has more soul than most modern RPGs and some of its themes are surprisingly complex for a game that looks like it was drawn with crayons. It will confuse you, charm you, and possibly make you question your real-life decisions. Peaceful rebellion never looked so wholesome.
