About This Game

You have just bought a patch of forest upstream. The road out is poor and the sawmills are downstream, so the river is the only way the timber can travel. Fell, float and sell, and build a forestry business out of it.

Start with one axe

Click to fell trees, hook logs out of the water, split firewood and push the first wheelbarrow to the buyer. Then hire your first lumberjack and watch them walk in along the forest path. Everything you buy turns up on the map.

Thousands of logs, every one of them simulated

Every log bobs, bumps and drifts on the current. Jams form where the river narrows or the wood yard backs up. Break them with a pike pole, or hire raftsmen who pole out on their rafts and do it for you.

From wheelbarrow to freight train

Over fifty upgrade lines across the forest, the river, the wood yard and your own hands. Harvesters and forwarders join the axe crews, horse carts give way to lorries and barges, the sawmill grows into an industrial mill, and in the end the railway comes for the timber.

A valley that lives

The seasons turn from spring flood to winter ice. At dusk the lamplighter goes round the yard one lantern at a time. The cook calls the crew in to eat, someone slips off to fish, and now and then a moose steps out of the trees.

A real ending, then the next river

Reach the Great Spring Drive in about six hours: a million logs delivered and the timber monopoly bought out. Then break the boom and take the drive to the next river, with medals, perks and four playstyle switches to try.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Every image in Floatwood is drawn by the game's own code: the forest, the river, the logs, the buildings, the workers, the user interface and the achievement icons are all rendered procedurally, NOT generated by an AI image model. The one exception is the Floatwood logo, which was created with the help of AI tools and then finished by hand. The English and Swedish text are written by a human but the other eighteen languages are translated using AI. All sound recordings are human-made.
