About Bleeding Roots

Bleeding Roots is a short horror walking simulator taking place throughout the seasons. Water the plants in your garden, learn about them, and grow along them over time. Immerse yourself in a story about loss, grief and obsession. The controls are simple, moving the character through tank controls and reading up on the environment with an interact key.

Having gone through some hard times recently, you find solace in tending to your garden.
While searching for new books on botanics, you stumble upon one that you haven’t seen before. It is somehow enthralling, almost as if it’s calling you. As you begin reading, it quickly becomes clear that it speaks of alternative ways of taking care of plants. It fills you with a feeling of unease, but… maybe it’ll grow into a new friend.

✦ AI summary

Players praise the game's beautiful atmosphere, upbeat story, and charming visual aesthetic, with many appreciating its free-to-play nature and easy achievements. However, some find the tank controls awkward and unintuitive, and note that UI elements like text boxes lack clear interaction instructions, which can make navigation frustrating despite these design choices fitting the retro style.

It's a short retro-style horror game where you mostly walk around, interact with things, and slowly figure out what's going on. The PS1/PS2-style visuals and gloomy atmosphere are decent, but the game feels pretty generic. I could see where things were heading well before the ending, so there wasn't much of a surprise. The biggest issue for me is the lack of tension. It feels like the game is building toward a conclusion you already know is coming, rather than giving you much reason to be invested in getting there. It's free and only takes around 15 minutes, so it's an easy one to try, but I wouldn't go in expecting much.

A short and fairly somber romp through your yard, watering beautiful little flowers. 7/10. "Don't go in the shed son"

Bro . . . Did this man actually get a plant pregnant?

A very short, but enjoyable game. It's basically a walking sim with no scares, but the story and writing are very well done, especially the final sequence. It's free, so it's definitely worth experiencing yourself.

Boltgun 2 price: buy the sequel, or the cheap first game?
