Two ways to play the demo
The browser version runs on itch.io with no install — the fastest way to see whether the game's humour lands for you. The downloadable build runs better if the browser version stutters.
- Browser: no install, runs on itch.io
- Download: about 95 MB, Windows and Linux
- Both are free; the demo has no purchase step
What the demo actually is
Hike through the worst forest full of the most horrible trees. Do not trust them. The trees will trick you. They will bully you. They will hurt you. If only you could find an axe...
It is a trap-first comedy game rather than a precision platformer. The forest is built to mislead you, and most deaths are jokes at your expense rather than tests of your reflexes.
Demo versus the full game
The full release is dated November 16, 2026. Until then the demo is the only way to play. Steam lists the game for Windows and Linux, with Windows 10 or higher and 1 GB available space as the minimum.
