About the Game

After a picnic in the woods, it's time to go home. But the nearby flora is determined to take you off course and make your life miserable.

This is a rage game focused on traps and gags instead of precise platforming. There's a surprise around every corner to keep your hike infuriating without becoming tedious. These trees are unfair, mean, and merciless — they will use your expectations against you to humiliate you.

Trap-First Design

Safe-looking routes, fake guidance, and sudden forest ambushes turn normal movement into the core joke of every run.

Fast Retries

Deaths happen quickly, but so do restarts — the game keeps its momentum and stays funny instead of dragging.

👀

Readable Chaos

The art is clear enough that you understand exactly what trick was played on you, making every fail easy to laugh at.

Trust Nothing

Signs lie. Paths deceive. That safe-looking bridge? It's probably a trap. The trees are out to get you.

3

Die & Retry

You will die. A lot. But respawns are instant, so each death is just the setup for the next punchline.

4

Find the Axe?

Somewhere in this horrible forest, there might be an axe. If only you could find it and get your revenge...

Looks peaceful, right? Don't be fooled.
