Spellogger Is the Most Violent Cozy Farming Game Ever: Lumberjack Wizard

Spellogger is a first-person lumbermancy RPG from a solo Swedish developer who goes by Basti, and he is pitching it as "the most violent cozy farming game ever made." You play a lumberjack wizard in a magical forest that regrows infinite trees overnight, and you fell them with ever more absurd spells. It launches on Steam sometime in 2027, and a demo is already available.

Picture a cozy farming game and you probably see top-down sprites, daily crop chores, and a town full of villagers to befriend. Spellogger borrows the setup, since you arrive at a newly acquired farmstead like in any Stardew-like, but it drops the farming. Your job is to turn your growing arcane mastery into as much lumber as possible.

No enemies, no livestock, lots of trees

The game has no enemies and no livestock. What it has is a constantly renewed forest of trees that throw damage numbers when you hit them and flash OVERKILL if you hit them especially hard.

The spells escalate quickly. In one clip, the player fires an energy wave from a magic logging axe that splits a row of trees lengthwise, so the falling halves flatten the surrounding woods. Basti's X feed has become a running showcase of whatever wizard nonsense he has just implemented, including:

• carving through saplings by throwing an enchanted axe like a boomerang
• detonating trees with bursts of chain lightning
• summoning a meteor from orbit to flatten entire groves

Basti announced the project with a video titled "I'm making the most violent cozy farming game ever made," and the footage backs the claim up.

The forest's infinite supply is what keeps the premise cozy rather than grim. In a fantasy setting, a woodland that regrows overnight makes the clear-cutting environmentally sustainable, so you can swing as hard as you like.

Demo and release

Spellogger has no firm release date, only a 2027 window on Steam. The demo lets you progress through the first 10 levels of lumbermancy, which means the meteors will have to wait for the full game.
