A Game About Lending a Hand

Rise is a game that explores the symbiotic relationship between a handicapped squirrel and a sick tree. It’s a collaborative game between two players, where one controls the squirrel character and the other controls the branch platforms. One player is a squirrel with a missing arm who needs the tree's help to climb to the top of the forest, while the other player is the tree who needs help removing parasitic mistletoe from itself. In order to achieve their goals, they must work together to make it through the four seasons in the forest.
