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.
