In a peaceful, little cemetery grows a not so peaceful tree. It is possessed by evil and filled with a murderous hunger… for human flesh!
You play as the ROOT OF EVIL! While unsuspecting pedestrians go out for their daily stroll, control your demonic roots with WASD to reach out and gobble them up!
Win the game by eating everyone in the cemetery.
Lose the game if your fullness meter drops down to zero.
Be careful though! These people aren’t completely defenseless - if spotted, people will chop your moving root off and you'll have to start back at the root of your tree. Too many chopped roots and you'll wither away!
