A world where nature has erased every last trace of human life awaits.

Dive into this fascinating metroidvania and find your way out of the Great Tree. Master your abilities, forge your own path, and face the dangers lurking along the way. Uncover what truly happened by piecing together history through the memories of those who witnessed our era collapse.

Does humanity deserve another chance? Or is it time to step aside and let nature run its course?

Humanity is no longer the dominant species. Discover how civilization fell as you venture through every corner of the Great Tree. From its roots, where the last remnants of civilization struggled to survive, to its highest branches, where nature reigns unopposed. Ascend through deadly creatures that were once human, and the challenges they bring, to uncover whether humanity is still remains worth saving.

Every decision matters. Harvest abilities from the corpses of those who weren't so lucky, and reshape your human/plant ratio. Embracing your plant side lets you grow vines to climb through vegetation and reach otherwise inaccessible areas, while leaning into your human nature grants more powerful attacks, useful both in combat and for opening new paths. This ratio is more than just a number, it shapes how the world perceives you and what kind of creature you are becoming. There are no right choices, only consequences.

Nature always finds a way, even where life no longer exists: flowers blooming over remains, petals covering forgotten ruins, a lush world that never lets you forget you are the intruder. Once you understand that, you will no longer know where beauty ends and the unsettling begins.
