Kano Mahoro Clears Trees Hate You Demo, Then Is Told She Was Reincarnated

The MillionProduction streamer dodged trees that aimed, chased and dropped on her through the demo, and said she finished sooner than the two or three hours she had expected.

Kano Mahoro of MillionProduction cleared the demo of Trees Hate You on Friday, and the ending screen told her she had been reincarnated in another world. “I was reincarnated in another world,” she said at the goal, then guessed the story might turn out to be one in which she became the villainess of a novel and ended up with the hero.

She opened the stream by saying the game was rumored to make even the mildest person lose their temper because of how unfair it is, and that she wanted to find out whether she would. After building a character with a one-piece dress and horns, and weighing a mustache, she started the demo, where trees moved, took aim at her from behind and ran at her. She told chat she was not angry, then pleaded with the trees to stop firing in turns and not to kill her again the moment she respawned.

“No, I’m not irritated. It’s fine. Leave it to me.” — Kano Mahoro, while dodging trees early in the demo

As the run went on she said she was starting to sink into it, and at one point warned that she was going to get angry. She escaped a long stretch to applause in chat, then hit a section where trees dropped from above. “This is bullying,” she said late in the run.

After the goal, the ending music swelled as a tree fell mid-sentence and the demo closed. Kano said she had expected the demo to take two or three hours and thought she had done better than she had guessed. She called it an easy game to react to.

She said she would continue her Minecraft series on Sunday and move toward building, and that Saturday’s game would probably be a deep swamp. She also pointed viewers to a short clip already posted. Chat also included five Super Chats.
