Acclaimed Indie The Roottrees Are Dead Releases on iOS and Android

This week publisher IndieArk and developer Evil Trout Inc. launched mobile versions of their much lauded PC indie The Roottrees are Dead. Set in 1998, Evil Trout’s mystery puzzler sees players employing a 486-era computer and a dial-up-modum to search the web and cross-reference records in an effort to reconstruct a family tree and ultimately discover what happened to the Roottree family. Evil Trout has optimized the UI layout to optimize for touch controls and the tiny screen. The mobile version includes the complete PC game as well as the additional Roottreemania mystery. The PC version not only received winning reviews from critic and Steam users, but is also the recipient of numerous awards, including an Honorable Mention for Excellence in Narrative at the 2026 Independent Games Festival.
