I definitely need to do another pass on the art so it's more obvious the root is a root.
But yeah the player is the interloper and the tree is trying to remove the interloper. The lore in my mind is that the player is an exterminator who has to kill monsters, but the tree doesn't understand the monsters are bad and just attacks outsiders. But it's all open to interpretation! Maybe the monsters aren't bad and the player is.

it took until i beat the game to realize that the brown snake chasing me was the roots of that tree monster above me
does that mean the player is the subterra interloper and the monsters are peacefully in their home since it doesnt attack the monsters?

Works as intended. Pretty intuitive.
Pretty fun puzzles, it's interesting how much variety you got out of the simple mechanics. Thanks for making it.
