About
Yesterday is a blur.
Today, you have a debt to pay.
You wake up on a small boat near a quiet settlement with a pounding headache and more questions than answers. Unfortunately, the town guard isn’t interested in explanations.
The debt is real.
And somebody has to pay it.
With an old axe in your hands and no better options available, you head into the forest and start chopping trees.
What begins as a desperate attempt to earn a few coins gradually turns into a simple daily routine. Day after day, you’ll gather wood, improve your tools, hire helpers, and slowly work your way toward freedom.
Before long, the routine begins to feel surprisingly comfortable.
No grand adventures.
No world-saving destiny.
Just honest work, steady progress, and a forest full of trees waiting to be cut.
At first, every tree matters.
Cut down trees, carry logs back to storage, sell your wood, and earn enough coins to make it through another day. Hard work is your only way out of debt.
A better axe makes a big difference.
Invest your earnings into upgrades that help you chop faster, work more efficiently, and get more done before the day is over.
You don’t have to do everything alone forever.
As your progress grows, you’ll be able to hire lumberjacks to help gather wood and keep production moving. What starts as a one-man struggle can slowly become a smoother daily routine.
Every log brings you one step closer to freedom.
Earn coins, improve your tools, hire help, and keep working until the debt that started it all is finally behind you.
The Lumberjack’s Routine is a cozy pixel-art game about simple work, gradual progress, and the satisfaction of seeing your efforts pay off.
There’s always another tree to chop, another upgrade to unlock, and another step toward leaving your debt behind.

Não creio que o jogo se resume basicamente em 3 mapas, no qual pode ser feito em menos de 2 horas. Acredito que o desenvolvedor poderia liberar uma versão com diferentes mapas e até continentes/biomas. De um modo geral a jogabilidade é boa e dá pra entreter.
Short and cute little game, its worth the 5 bucks. I think the content does become stale once you get to the last quest. Having to cut another 1.7 ~ 2k trees to finish paying the debt off is fine, but there needs to be more quests or content there to fill in that huge gap.
最主要的那张村庄地图设计的依托屎,想去一个地方得东转西转的走半天才到,想存木头又得东转西转半天回伐木场,纯纯浪费时间。 雇佣的伐木工有砍伐范围,只会砍自己木屋周围一定范围内的木头,而且有时候会留几颗树死活不砍,而且有些地方没有木屋,你想完成最终目标,只能自己去犄角旮旯里砍。伐木工效率极低,砍一会就休息,而且晚上还会回木屋睡觉,开着500倍变速都慢的可怜。 因为游戏主角在设定上欠了债,因此卫兵对你态度极其恶劣,但你并不能做什么,你只能窝囊地砍完这3000棵树。 3/10,我实在想不到夸他的地方。
Patch 2,0, not only addressed my worries, but excelled. New content quickly arrived and was just enough to keep me going. Huge thanks to developers for this. May you continue to have great success! Patch 1.0 Review below It took this old man just over four hours to reach 100% and I enjoyed every minute of it. The LumberJacks Routine is a charming little experience with a relaxing gameplay loop, lovely pixel art and that satisfying "just one more tree" feeling that kept me playing until the end. The only downside is that the adventure comes to an end rather quickly. The foundations are excellent though and I'd love to see future updates expand on them. After paying off your debt, opening up a new wilderness area where players can establish a settlement, manage forestry and build a small community could add even more depth and longevity. For now, this is a cosy and thoroughly enjoyable game that I'd happily recommend and I'll definitely be returning should new content arrive.
Fun idea but very short.
nice but very short. still had lots of fun in those few hours. hope it gets more content the loop is fun plus it works great on steam deck
Short little game with a decent loop. Nothing crazy. Art is pretty. Some stutter and minor issues originally but two hot fixes were implemented very soon after launch.
finito in 4h , ok !
semlice passatempo fatto molto bene
Sehr entspanntes Spiel. Ich bin mir gerade nicht sicher, ob ich nach 1,5h schon durch bin mit den Quests, aber aktuelles Ziel ist das gänzliche Abbezahlen meiner Schuld, also gehe ich einmal davon aus. Dann wäre der Rest des Spiels "einfaches Zeit absitzen", die anderen Holzfäller arbeiten lassen und selbst mit Bäume hacken (etwas ganz neues ;) ) Ein Tutorial gibt es nicht, aber dessen bedarf es auch nicht. Das Spiel ist einfach gestaltet, die Texte sind nett. Ich hätte die Musik vermisst, hätte ich nicht zufällig einen Youtube-Mix im Hintergrund laufen gehabt, welcher lustigerweise ganz gut zum Charakter des Spiels gepasst hat. Ich dachte die ganze Zeit über, es sei der Soundtrack vom Spiel. Also die ~5€ kann man ruhig mal investieren, vielleicht kommt ja bald noch mehr Inhalt =)
