About This Game

[h2]Your forest. Your sawmill. Your hands.[/h2]

Kerf - Sawmill Tycoon is a first-person sawmill sim where nothing happens without you. Every tree is felled by your hand, every plank comes off a saw you operate, and every coin is earned at a counter you built up from nothing. Start with an axe and a quiet clearing at the foot of a waterfall, and grow it into a humming timber business.

[h2]Do the work yourself[/h2]

Fell trees and watch them crash down for real. Cut the trunks into logs, haul them to the yard and feed a growing chain of machines: the bandsaw, the chopping block, the chipper, the pelletizer and the furniture workshop. Machines are not menus here. Sawing planks, chopping firewood or lacquering a fresh tabletop is hands-on work where your precision decides the quality and the payout.

[h2]Master the wood[/h2]

Six wood species, from spruce and birch to oak and maple, each with its own look, its own price and its own best use. Turn logs into planks, firewood, wood chips, pellets, bark and made-to-order furniture. Logs are never sold raw: the profit is in the craft.

[h2]Sell it face to face[/h2]

Customers walk into your yard with real orders. Load a crate, carry it to the counter and close the deal. Build reputation to unlock pickier clients, better prices on a living market and furniture commissions: ten pieces, from small stools to full wardrobes, built in your own workshop.

[h2]Grow beyond your own two hands[/h2]

When the orders pile up, hire a crew: sellers for your counters and workers for your machines. Upgrade the sawmill level by level, buy bigger trucks for deliveries and drive your own pickup across a handcrafted valley with a town, a river and a mountain road.

[h2]Keep the forest alive[/h2]

Trees do not grow back on their own. Dig out stumps, plant saplings, fertilize them and watch new trees rise through four growth stages. A well-run sawmill never runs out of forest.

[h2]Your Twitch chat lives here[/h2]

Connect your Twitch channel and your viewers walk into the game as customers, with their nicknames over their heads and their chat messages in speech bubbles. Your community literally keeps your sawmill busy.
