About Trees Hate You

Trees Hate You is a game that transforms a picnic walk home into a hilariously frustrating experience. Everything seems simple at first glance, but the further you go, the more you realize this forest isn't normal—and the trees are clearly playing a trick on you.

How to Play Trees Hate You

You just need to walk through the forest to find your way home. Sounds simple, but the problem is the game almost always sets traps right when you're off guard.

There are no complex controls or high skill requirements. What causes you to lose is mainly misjudging the situation. A seemingly safe path might lead straight into a trap, and what you think is dangerous might not be. You'll die quite a bit, mostly without realizing what just happened. But each time, you learn a little more—though the game always finds ways to trap you in different ways.

GAME CONTROLS

  • Move Left/Right: Use the arrow keys or A/D to move your character through the pathways.
  • No Jump: The game has no jumping, so you can't save yourself if you've gone in the wrong direction.
  • Restart Fast: After each failure, you can quickly restart to try again.

WHAT THE GAME THROWS AT YOU

  • Fake Paths: Paths that look perfectly reasonable but actually lead you into traps.
  • Sudden Traps: Traps appear almost without warning, usually when you're most careless.
  • Misdirection: In-game signs or markers may intentionally mislead you.
  • Biomes: You'll travel through many different areas, and the further you go, the more dangerous the environment becomes.
