Our take on Forest Hustle

The defining structure is a shift from personally gathering wood and stone to expanding bases and hiring workers for the operation.

What is Forest Hustle?

Forest Hustle is a 3D incremental game about expanding a forest operation and paying off a 100k debt.

Players begin by chopping wood and mining stone, then earn money through trader deals that can be accepted or refused. Progression includes improving tools and buildings, constructing bases, and hiring workers to handle tasks. Dogs can also be hired. The game moves from direct resource gathering toward a larger operation supported by automation and expansion. Lo-fi music accompanies the experience.
