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.

A pretty well-made game with an interesting story and plot twist (SPOILER NOW). I wish the tree would have grabbed you when you spooked it, and it had hands. It would have been cool if you woke up on the ground from a dream next to the tree and you actually passed out and thought the tree grabbed you
Fun game, awesome premise and good visuals that I really enjoyed! Wish I had time to go through and see if I could’ve gotten the second ending!
The premise of this game is very interesting. Very fun too!
A masterpiece of a game with an amazing tone for the game and so many hidden achievements it keeps you hooked, it is a must play if ever I played one.
Your Horror Game is so crazy, Sir Tartarus! I got two endings and 17 out of 25 achievements in my gameplay (Plus, I only got 11 out of 20 marks, the remaining 9 marks were hard to find)
Hello, I think the game is really well-made. I came across this game while I was planning to kick-start my youtube career as well. So, I thought I would do a short horror game. It's crazy how much details are put into this game
I did not expect the cat part like AT ALL (spoilers!!!). There are so many eastereggs which I am sure I still haven't explored yet. I have been trying to make similar style games with ps2 effects as well and really great to see what you put out.
Great execution and I would love to see more games from you! Below is my reaction to the game as well and I did not think so many people were doing it as well haha.
Excellent Game! Hope to see more.
(Valdevia here, came up with the concept!)
You did such an amazing job, I'm honored to have inspired something so cool. This was a real labour of love, and deserves every bit of praise it's been getting!
Never stop creating, Tartarus! :)
我很喜欢这个游戏的氛围以及设定！但是游戏的成就彩蛋有点滥竽充数了 ，大多数成就并不值得去收集。成就我只收集到了17个，涂鸦我找到了19个。每一颗树我都仔细看了三四遍，不知道哪里漏掉了。涂鸦有两种颜色，黑色和红色，木屋的房檐，壁炉，房后都有涂鸦。大多数的涂鸦都在路边的树上，有些会在树的背面，比较难发现。另外第二结局到底该怎么收集，作者能不能给点提示呢。还想说一点是，作为一个短篇的恐怖游戏，不应该出现这么多的成就彩蛋，保留精品就足够了。
花费了好几个小时，我终于是找到了第20个涂鸦，本以为会有有趣的东西等着我，结果是无事发生！甚至连成就都没有弹出！我非常失望
Hi! The game is inspired by an artist, so I really tried to fit as many references to him and his works as I could fit into the game.
It is true I should have had some kind of reward for collecting everything! Maybe in some future update, if there is, I will come up with something.
Thank you for playing and for your perseverance :)
This game is excelent in everything! It’s quick, immersive and well made. And what a plot twist! Made me ponder on what we take as reality blindly.
Great game! Thanks for making it! Here is my playthrough
Amazing short horror game! Fantastic atmosphere and story! Great job!
wow
my first horror game
so awesom
Incredible game SirTartarus! I had a ton of fun running into the easter eggs you added. One of the coolest horror game concepts I've seen to date this year! Looking forward to your future work!
Albeit the game had some minor lags, It's truly one of the best horror games I played!
Great audio, story, and vibe. I hope you will keep up on making that stuff!
peak vegan propaganda!! (jokes aside genuinely amazing game)
Well, judging by how the trees look inside they might be a great source of protein! (Thanks for playing! :D)
What a solid game this was! Awesome idea for sure! Loved the slow building into something more sinister overtime. Really helped set the stage. Made a video on it.
Awesome horror game, really cool concept! I definitely enjoyed it.
Nice game!
lil bit broke the game
must be the hallucinations... (or you might have opened the console
game psikologi horror yang bagus dan ada easter egg lucunya
Can i play as a Tree and hunt down and kill human parasites ?
fantastic
I liked this! Interested in what comes next :)
Full Play NO Commentary
Wonderful game. Eerie at times, funny at others.
The game isn't working for me, it stops on the Day 1 Text and won't continue.
Im imagining you did press space.
Did the animation from the start show up? To verify if you are maybe still caught in the tree-with-an-axe animation loop.
Thank you, it's working now. Normally, I'd press Enter for something like this.
Cool horror game
Anybody know what the music is that plays from the RGB car?
It's "Branches Where I Can See Them", it was made for them game like the rest of the soundtrack. I will upload all the music on my YouTube channel (in a day or less)!
Great game overall. Lore setup was great as well. I look forward to your next game.

Really enjoyed this one — great little game! Thanks for making it. Here’s my playthrough if anyone wants to check it out:
Very spooky atmosphere and cool unique story. Thanks for sharing! Keep up the good work !
Hey, I would like to localize your game into Turkish!
Excellent job! This was very well executed! :) Definitely enjoyed chopping up all the trees I could get my hands on! :)
Very interesting horror game.
Why is it that when I get into the game, the main character gets out of bed and my view is teleported to the view of a bloody axe slapping through a tree? No matter how I move, the view is stuck there, and I can press the WASD button and hear the protagonist's footsteps, but the view is always on the tree with the axe?
Does it happen always? Might be the menu not rendering somehow
That's right! I re-downloaded your game file, this phenomenon still appears!
I'm sorry! I'll check it out when I'm able :) Will send another message over here when I think it is fixed
I tried again! Wait in the main menu screen for a while, then enter the game is no problem
Awesome game!
