Trees Hate You: The Forest That Wants You Dead

If you think a quiet walk through the woods sounds relaxing, Trees Hate You is here to prove you wrong. Developed by Tykenn, this indie "rage game" has taken the internet by social media storm, challenging players to survive a forest where every single tree is out to get them.

What is Trees Hate You?

The premise is simple: You’ve just finished a picnic and simply want to go home. However, the forest has other plans.

This isn't a survival game about gathering resources; it’s a comedy-horror rage-bait experience. The trees will prank you, trap you, slap you, and find increasingly creative (and unfair) ways to end your run.

Key Features

  • Trial and Error: Expect to "die" a lot. The game relies on unexpected traps that you can only avoid once you’ve fallen for them at least once.
  • Hat Collection: Discover various hats throughout the forest to customise your character, ranging from stylish to completely ridiculous.
  • The Ultimate Goal: Navigate the chaotic woods, survive the bullying, and eventually find the legendary axe to get your revenge.
  • Whimsical Art Style: Despite the frustrating gameplay, the 3D cartoonish graphics and goofy animations make every failure feel like a scene from a dark comedy.
