The Roottrees Are Dead is a 2023 video game developed and published by Jeremy Johnston. The game is a detective puzzle game in which the player is required to undertake research to fill the incomplete Roottree family tree. Originally released as a browser game, a 2025 remaster of the game was released by developer Robin Ward in collaboration with Johnston. The remaster features an updated design and visual presentation, as well as an additional case, called Roottreemania, which extends the narrative of the original game.
The game is a puzzle game in which the player is tasked to fill in the names, pictures and occupations of characters on a family tree, represented on an evidence board. In order to uncover the identities of characters on the family tree and infer their relationships, the player must inspect photographs and attached notes, use a web browser on their in-game computer to search for relevant names or concepts. Once the player has correctly guessed the entries in a stage, they are locked onto the screen and cannot be changed. Correct optional names and portraits are also locked and removed from the pool of names. An 'Intuition' tab provides a list of items of evidence organised by the number of clues contained within the evidence. A list of Notable Roottrees is also provided to the player, listing family members which are more easily searchable on the web browser and marked with stars on the family tree.
