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.

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.
