You just had a picnic in the woods and now it's time to go home. It's just a short hike, and there's nothing in your path except a bunch of trees...should be fine, right? 

Works with a controller (left stick) or a keyboard (WASD or arrow keys).

Update: I recently revisited this project and plan to expand it into a bigger game. So this became the demo of a larger, more horrible adventure.

You can wishlist the full game on Steam (or play the demo there, that version is a little more up to date): https://store.steampowered.com/app/4171850/Trees_Hate_You

Please share any feedback either here or on my Discord server.

(Another note: Some people have been reporting low framerates on the web version. If that happens, it may work much better with a different web browser or through the Itch.io app. Or you can try the downloadable version.)

This game had me tweaking and raging so hard. It was recommended by one of my supporters, and I’ve seen it circulating online for a while, but I never got around to playing it until now.

Even as a demo, it absolutely delivered on making me rage. I don’t usually play non-horror games on my streams, but honestly, this game is a horror experience in its own way, a rage horror where the trees are alive and seemingly want nothing more than to ruin your day.

Despite the frustration, I genuinely enjoyed it and would definitely recommend it. Just a heads-up for anyone who hasn’t played it: this game is absolutely rage bait, but that’s part of what makes it fun. Watching genuine reactions from other players is just as entertaining.

I’d give this game 8.1 out of 10 Trees! Great job, dev!

GAMEPLAY (The game starts at 6:02:49)

HI!!

I made a video where I play this!

There was a point where I just had to let the trees pummel me to the ground with the ragebait because if I didn't keep my composure my gaming setup would have paid the price!!

Thank you for making this amazing and funny game!! Please let me know if you watched my video!

Great game and I'm sure it will get popular vdeos once it's done!


But I just want to know why do the trees hate us?

deforestation probably

Excelente por si no te gusta salir a interactuar con la naturaleza.

No es un playthrough pero si mucho odio por la cantidad de veces que me morí:

Quite like my character. He looks great!

I had a blast playing it, almost rage quit and ended up making a full YouTube video on it. Thanks for making such a unique game! 

absolute cinema of a game

Probably will play again ngl

Like the demo, it is funny and challenging.
The game is mostly giving you the chance to think about your path to escape so not many rage expected that, but that is not the case in the challenging mode as few areas needed to be redesigned because it is not logic adding some trees types together in specific points in these area.

My review (as fan of this game) is included in the video, hope it helps to prepare for the full version :).


Me and this game have a love hate toxic relationship, I wanna see more of it but at the same time it pisses me off so much. 
Great game, I liked suffering to it and spending my free time yelling at trees!

I absolutely loved this, was wondering if the musical theme at the end of the game was something you got off a "pub domain songs" place or if you'd made it yourself, was wondering if I could use it for my yt outro card since it's beautiful.

I had no idea trees had the ability to make me suffer this much 

🟡 $1,000,000 Coin Glitch in Trees Hate You 💰😂???

FRICK THIS GAME😤
(1 edit)

Someone just posted they are playing penalty shootout in game? ⚽⚽⚽

Can’t wait for the full release. I’ll just leave this here till then.

can't wait for the full game, my friend dared me to beat this game he said I couldn't beat it and oh boy did I suffer just to beat this game. really enjoyed playing it

Wouldn't it be interesting if you have the checkpoint run away from your "Loser" or "Victim" while they're trying to avoid trees? This is something I thought about. Just to add to the rage baiting game lol. Have the checkpoint legit run away from you

(+3)(-1)

I thought being one with the trees would help... 

Guess I was wrong...

Good game, but unfortunately we gotta make you eat the meat mountain for ts
