You arrive in a forest owing $100,000, with the goal of earning enough money to clear the debt. Gather wood and stone by chopping trees and mining rocks, then sell resources to traders.
Upgrade your tools and buildings to improve your work, and accept or refuse trader deals as you earn cash. Place bases and other buildings around the forest, and hire workers and dogs to help gather resources.
As your operation grows, workers can handle more of the gathering while you manage upgrades, building placement, and sales. After paying off the debt, you can start another run with bonuses that make later progress faster.
Many reviewers enjoy the steady upgrade-driven growth, the relaxed, low-pressure resource-gathering loop, and watching hired workers take over more of the work. Dogs and the faster pace of later runs also stand out as appealing touches. Others find the opening slow and the later game repetitive, with limited new progression after upgrades are exhausted.
