Solo dev's Spellogger reimagines farming sims with magic lumberjack chaos

Swedish solo developer Basti is creating Spellogger, a first-person RPG they describe as 'the most violent cozy farming game ever made.' The game puts players in the role of a lumberjack wizard who arrives at a magical forest that regrows trees overnight. The goal is to harvest as much lumber as possible using increasingly absurd spells, from enchanted axes that return like boomerangs to chain lightning and even orbital meteors that level entire groves. Unlike traditional farming sims, there are no enemies and no livestock. The only targets are trees that display damage numbers when struck and announce 'OVERKILL' when hit especially hard. Basti's X feed shows off features like splitting trees lengthwise with an energy wave from a magic axe or detonating saplings with lightning bursts. Spellogger does not yet have a release date but is planned for Steam in 2027. A demo is available, though it limits players to the first 10 levels of lumbermancy, meaning the meteor spell remains inaccessible for now.
