Very uncanny! As always, I appreciate the multiple endings.

I honestly can't believe there's more than one game in the jam where humans and trees swapped

The game name is a pretty clever play of words :P I liked the game and how creepy it was, even though horror games aren't really my thing. Loved that you added a variety of endings as well, it was fun trying to get all of them.

This is one of the best games I've played this jam that I think is doing a lot of interesting stuff with just very little. 

I think the title - dehumanization - is clever in the sense that this game is as much about the concept of of course deforestation, but more pointedly about the very sense of the word; "dehumanization". It's kind of making a statement about the completely arbitrary distinction between environment/humanity, to deforestate is in a sense to dehumanize. A sense that is given by the fleshy feeling environments only cut through by the house we are trying to extend, which could be said to stand in for undue expansionism.

But also, it's absolutely about labour! To deforestate is simultaneously portrayed as a glorious expansion of "civilization" (which you can kind of get from the use of the song, morning mood by edward gieg, symbolizing a kind of westernized but offputting tone to the whole activity) that is also almost mockingly plastered over mind-melding repetitive work: that, which of course, dehumanizes someone.

Very good job. Deserving of all 5 stars in all three fields.

It felt quite scary to play even with those giant characters were idly standing. I think you achieved that feeling well with the color selection and impact effects.  Nice work in depicting horror in few elements.

Feel free to hop into my game as well, and share your rating and comments if you have the time!

Oooh boy, I was looking so forward to this one! Got the vibes, the gameplay is kinda jank, but it's all good. I enjoyed playing through it.

Nice horror game. Enjoyed a lot the art and the background music. Well done for a game made in 48h.

I would appreciate if you play my game too :)

I feel like this game did what it set out to do. I don't tend to be a person who plays this kind of surreal game, but I appreciate what it was, and that it didn't have a jump-scare when I originally didn't make it home on time lol
I managed to find two ending, but I'm not sure how many there were in-total.

This was a very bizarre game, but it felt like it did what it was trying to do.

Very unique experience, cool visual style. I did not get to the house in time :(

Great work! I hated it! Night creeped me out and I was happy to get the "didn't make it back to the house ending".

Wonderfully horrible meat game :D

Was fun, certainly something out of the box and it was pretty well done. I enjoyed it and I hope you continue game developing!

Awesome style, but i'm not sure how to beat this game. Made few attempts but no luck. Anyway really enjoyed visuals and vibe

Submitted(+1)

this is wonderfully grotesque, the concept is very eye catching and I love the style, even with premade assets. The premise alone is both funny and scary, and I would absolutely love to see such a thing made into a full game

I have no idea what I just experienced but it was kina cool I vibe with this

Cool game! The visuals of the game are very striking-- it's very unsettling.
