[PC] [2000s] Third person game about boy killing insects at the beginning

I'm searching a game for a friend from their description. Game probably from early 2000s, was played in 2003 or 2004. Looks like Fable but animations were more clunky. Third person camera. You start at the village or near it as a young kid (probably boy) and you tasked to kill some insects. graphics were green and olive with some mist. They remember title screen mostly (or parts of it): big tree on right side and house (or group of houses) in the background of it.
Any ideas?
