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): 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.)

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😤

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. 

#BEST DEMO OF 2026

(+2)

it lagged A LOT for me :/

excited for the full game. it keeps you  on your toes 10/10. this is the kind of  ragebait game id play over and over

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

(+1)

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 

10/10 but this rage bated me so much. Good game

i don't like it. 0/10[  0/10[ 0/10 wrost game EVER!!!1!!!!!!!!!BAD GAME SO HARD

Rate: 3/10. I love comedy games, but the web HTML5 version of this demo is poorly optimized. It suffers from extremely low framerates and lag, making precise movement impossible. To top it off, the game randomly crashes right around the second challenge. Hopefully, the full Steam version gets a massive engine polish. 💻❌

Oh... uh... I see it now.... it's... uh..... what.

I have found a user posting some crap like "Updated version: *insert link here* Copy/Paste". If you see it, it is a phishing scam

(+1)

I went through so many emotions...

Good game.

funny game!

I just played this for my Youtube channel, and I have to say this was a lot of fun. I loved the artwork. I think the fact that it felt like a cute Nintendo game made the attacks more unsuspecting, regardless of how long you played. I also really enjoyed the fact that the attacks would sometimes change out of nowhere if you died enough times. Really fun, and I can't wait to play the full version when it comes out. Please check out my video if you have the time, but honestly, I hope you do make this into a fully fledged game.

see see what did mother nature always tell humans?!... take care of the earth or its gonna get ugly she tried the animals first but that did not work so now she has to get the trees / plants to now go and murder your goofy butt for not cleaning up your picnic you had in the woods and just leaving it out there to rot away and decay!... serves you right you unclean hairless ape!... XP C:






(not to mention the goofy serine music is the icing on this mother nature attack on people game... <3 XD :P i love it...)

People of the future be like: Trees hate you, the game that both traumatized a generation, and loved it at the same time.

it crashed before I could get passed challenge 2
