Forest Propaganda
It looks peaceful right before it ruins your day
The worst forest you'll ever hike through.
The trees are out to get you… and they're not even sorry. Every path, every sign, every "shortcut" is a trap. If only you had an axe…

Trees Hate You is a rage-comedy trap game created by solo developer Tykenn. You hike through a beautiful-looking forest that absolutely despises you. Every "safe" path is a setup for the funniest, most humiliating death you've ever experienced.
It's not just hard - it's smart. The trees use psychology, fake road signs, fake safety, and punchline-level traps to mess with your head. Think "I Wanna Be The Guy" meets "Level Devil," but way funnier and way meaner.
Every death is a punchline
Trees play mind games
Watch friends suffer
(Even When They Hate It)
The forest plans every death like a stand-up comedy routine. Clean path → fake safety → instant punchline death. You'll laugh before you even respawn.
Die in 3 seconds? Respawn in 1. No long loading screens. No frustration. Just pure chaotic joy.
Start in the classic evil forest, then unlock cursed swamps, haunted orchards, and more. Collect ridiculous hats, find the secret axe, and maybe… fight back?
Simple controls. Deep troll mechanics. Zero hand-holding.
"The pause menu isn't safe either." - every player ever
