Fantastic game, I really enjoyed this one — the concept is simple but hits hard - genuinely unsettling and memorable.
I liked how the routine gameplay made the reveal more impactful, and the uneasy feeling of continuing to chop after realizing the truth really stuck with me. Unique and definitely memorable.
I Played this game a while back but forgot to leave a comment. I love it! Really big fan of the game and all the different endings!!! Motivated me to check out your other works :)
This game was so much fun to play here is my gameplay please feel free to give me a like and follow if you enjoyed it really help out my small channel:3
A eerie, atmospheric horror game. I enjoyed it overall! I think there was a lot of back and forth which I didn't love but it was still really good. It's the second game in my video :) any support would mean the world!
Can't be sure. The other day I tried downloading a game from itch (I think it was The Plant Store) and I couldn't. Might be a bug. Surely it will work later today ;)
i wanted to reach out with you because I played Bloodbark some time ago and i really liked this game. I think the concept of the forest and the trees as a psychological metaphor is genuinely brilliant.
this year I have to present a project for a science fair at my high school, and I want to develop a small psychological horror game focused on environmental awareness (deforestation and human impact on forests).
i’d like to ask if you would be okay with me using a similar core idea (trees with blood-like sap and their hallucinogenic psychological effect) as inspiration, without using any assets or specific characters from Bloodbark.
the game would be free to play and published online, and I would clearly credit Bloodbark as an inspiration.
If you’d prefer that I didn’t use this concept, I completely understand and will adjust my project accordingly.
thank you so much for your time, and for creating something that inspired me so much.
I am so happy to hear that my game inspired you that much! Of course you can!
The hallucinogenic trees that bleed originally come from Valdevia's artwork, called Bloodbark as well, so maybe you'd need to ask him too? I'm not sure since after all this game does credit his artwork anyway.
If you do ask him I'm sure he would be glad to give you permission and as excited to see what you come up with as I am :D
Well I loved the idea, it's a cool story, predictable but I still enjoyed it very much
Part where we kill that graffiti guy was amazing
I just feel like there could've been some directions through the woods because I got really bored walking around without knowing what I was supposed to be looking for
Muy buen plot y la historia es bastante interesante, juego muy recomendado si te gustan los juegos indie. (Pueden verlo en español en mi canal de YT, Gracias :p)

Played smoothly, solid atmosphere and slow burn experience. Very nice.

Incredible game! I only got 1 ending and I'm wondering how to get the other one. So many achievements and easter eggs. Those trees are spooky as hell.

im sorry father forgive me kitty
I really enjoyed playing. I played several times trying to discover all the secrets, I only missed one. Good job!
Looks like I can't download your game. Why?
Can't be sure. The other day I tried downloading a game from itch (I think it was The Plant Store) and I couldn't. Might be a bug. Surely it will work later today ;)
Now it works!
any plans to bring this to steam?
None initially. The game is finished, I don't think there's any point in putting it to steam.
Nice One!
I recently played your game and that forest seriously creeped me out (in a good way 😄).
Here my playthrough on youtube.
I loved the game! Specially the many achievements that you can get on the game!
Eu amei o jogo! Especialmente as diferentes conquistas que você pode conseguir no jogo!
Very unique and fun game. Loved the story and the twist. Keep it up!
Hii Tartarus, hope you’re doing well.

Love the idea and concept!
Amazing game, loved it :)
is this game going to get linux support?
遊戲走路時間有點多，要一直來回很麻煩。
走來走去，看到什麼砍什麼就能找到彩蛋和新結局。
適合喜歡慢節奏探索、心理壓迫感與驚喜的人玩。
great job, keep it up!
Is Bloodbark coming to Steam?
Not initially, since the game is basically finished. I dont see any reason to upload it.
Good horror game
