Trees Hate You Overview
Trees Hate You is an upcoming rage-comedy adventure developed and published by Tykenn, where a simple walk home from a picnic quickly becomes a chaotic journey through a forest determined to stop the player. Rather than relying on traditional enemies, the game fills its environments with deceptive paths, trickster trees, fake-outs, and increasingly ridiculous traps designed to catch players off guard.
The game focuses on trial-and-error gameplay, requiring players to learn from each death and figure out how to safely navigate the forest. Checkpoints help prevent players from having to restart the entire journey, while character creation lets players customize their protagonist. Trees Hate You is releasing on PC via Steam on November 16, 2026.
