About the game

What players say

This game is all about enthusiastically endorsing ecoterrorism against trees because they wronged a granny. I have finally discovered the most noble cause in gaming history. REVENGE. Not against evil wizards. Not against space aliens. Not against ancient gods. TREES. Those oxygen-producing wooden freeloaders with their bark-covered bodies and leafy green hair. Why?
