A Game About Chopping Trees Launches on Steam from Space Raccoon Games

Space Raccoon Games has released A Game About Chopping Trees on Steam, marking the studio's second title after The Mosquito Gang. The announcement, posted by author eXciter on July 15, 2026, frames the release as a deliberate pivot toward a slower, more meditative experience.

What the game includes

• No timers or stress mechanics — the design centers on the rhythm of chopping rather than performance pressure
• Solo and co-op play — players can invite a friend for a shared logging session
• Sapling planting — the forest can be actively grown, not only harvested
• Handcar exploration — a handcar serves as transport between work sites across the game's landscapes

To coincide with launch, a Game + Soundtrack Bundle is available at a discounted price, pairing the game with its official soundtrack.

The studio credits early wishlisters and playtest participants for shaping the final experience, suggesting a period of community involvement prior to release.

For players seeking something low-pressure and unhurried, the combination of planting, chopping, and open exploration positions this as a deliberate counterpoint to more demanding survival or crafting games.
