How to Play Trees Hate You on Mobile: Remote Play Guide
2026-11-11

Trees Hate You is a trap-filled comedy adventure in which a walk home from a picnic becomes a hostile forest hike. Trees mislead and ambush you across several biomes; dying and retrying are part of the challenge. Short gameplay sessions are well suited to mobile play, but sudden hazards require precise movement and a clear view of the path.

OSLink lets your Android or iOS phone control your own Windows PC while Trees Hate You runs there. This guide covers downloading the game, connecting both devices, enabling PC gaming mode, and customizing the game controls.
