Image Masking?

The circle would follow your player as you walk through the trees.

I made this on photoshop. The semi-transparent cut-out would follow your player while behind trees.

You're not looking for image masking, then. Just display a gani of the player directly on the player, with a lower opacity. You won't get the blending mode used in your mockup, but it's acceptable I guess.

Even if there isn't a semi-transparent circle, and its just a circle, I want the player to see a few tiles around them so they can find chests and such hidden in the trees.

Ah, I didn't see the circle. That's a splendid idea, but I'm afraid it's not going to be possible with Graal.
