Bloodbark
A downloadable game for Windows
Your job is to cut down the Bloodbark trees, highly priced for their exotic red wood. The trees are bleeding, but that is natural in this species. Just one week and you are gone.
But the trees are aware of your presence. They know your intentions. They will fight back.
Bloodbark is a short horror game based on the works of Eduardo Valdés-Hevia, a known horror artist. While specially inspired on his artwork "Bloodbark", many of his other works are also featured on this game. Check his work out clicking below:
This game features 25 achievements and 2 endings. The game is full of easter eggs and, while I recommend hunting them on the second playthrough, You will likely get at least one achievement in your first.

Had some problems with clicking out of screen, but overall loved it!
GREAT GAME!!! I loved the story 10/10
i would like to formally apologize for what i did to that cat, i love my cats and dont know what came over me
Hello, If you'd like a free voice actor for any future games you may add dialogue to, let me know! :) I'd be Happy to voice act for you! If you'd like reference, I voice acted in the game "Lurking Danger" by a developer named Farelas :)
It means a lot! I really like Farelas' games, but i hadn't checked out that one. Amazing work! I'll tell you for sure if any voice-acting is needed in future games!
Sounds good, I hope to hear! :)
Definitely enjoyed that, lots to it. I don't understand why it lags tremendously the first playthrough though, after that it runs smooth as butter.
THAT. WAS. AWESOME!!! Wonderful psychological horror!
First, I loved the game! Horror games with hidden secrets and Easter eggs are my favorite! Second, I make content on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/@HulkingEnigma) about horror games, and one type of content I make is "Did You Know" shorts. In these shorts, I talk about hidden secrets and stuff in the games.
I want to make some shorts about your game, and I would like to know if you would share any assets that I could use in the videos. I mainly want to use the achievement images, but I would love to know if you can share anything.
Thanks!
Sure! Just tell me where can I send them to you. I will not have access to my computer this week so I cant give you many assets, but luckily the achievements I do have them on my phone :)
Awesome! You can email them to hulkingenigma@gmail.com! Thank you!
You have them ;)
This game was great, eerie and plenty of scares
This game was super fun and I enjoyed the twist :) (Second game in the video)
Awesome game! This concept is amazing and I love the fact that you used the idea that the trees were fighting back to survive. The plot twist at the end had me shook, and the jumpscares had me rattled. Hoping to see more from you, great work!

great game
GOOD GAME SORRY ABOUT THE KITTY.
buen juego
so this is what being trapped inside aging devil feels like
great game really like the idea and very spooky enjoyed it a lot!
This game looks a lot like that one. Did you get inspiration from it by any chance? https://agar.boston/games/dont-escape-2.unblocked
I really enjoyed it as it built supense as we went thru the woods. The lack of music and just hearing the wind and creaks were a nice touch. I'd try something diffrent though to get less invisible walls since the trees were so spread I thought I could freeroam more than I actually could, but all in all a nice suspensful game.
Microsoft Defender gave me a warning about the game. why?
It does so with many games of itch. You can see it happen in some streams. That does not mean you shouldn't be careful around those warnings, always check! :)
how do i check if it is ok?
idk, this one game is, im just saying xd :)
balls
This game was amazing! So well done! Great job!
Really cool concept! Loved that this was inspired by an actual art piece. It's always cool to see how some things would be like if they were made into a video game. Well done!

Another example of why it's always a treat to dabble in indie horror games as a niche. A simple foundation for story and gameplay yet the passive eeriness in the environment and the hallucinations tormenting the protagonist over time was excellently done, I enjoyed it wholeheartedly.
I have a playthrough (with both endings) and a review expanding upon my thoughts, all timestamped accordingly. Enjoy.
Like this kind of gryphic style!
W game
Muy buen juego, pase un rato bastante entretenido y con buenos sustos
Please Forgive Me Cat God Bean!!
The first playthrough was grand. The achievements were a nice and unexpected extra.A delightful psychological horror.
Was not able to play the game at all. It zoomed in on the blood tree as soon as I awoke from bed and the camera was fixated on the blood tree. Nothing I could do to fix. I could walk around, but not see my character at all. Idk why I am having this issue.
Have you tried restarting the game? Might be the scene did not load quick enough for the animation to happen
that was really good! I love the story
Nice game. Much more visceral then expected
This game is AMAZING!! Definitely one of my favorite indie horror games ever.
Any support on my video is MASSIVELY appreciated! <33
very nice game
Congratulations to all the creators of this little horror game. It's a perfect game in every way. The background music is great, the story is perfect. I want the creators of this game to subscribe to my channel, please. Thank you. Greetings from Spain.
Is it a trick of the tree or the mind?
The Bloodbark trees have this ability. That might be why their wood is so expensive!
