Timberworks A calm lumber empire at your pace

The first job is honest work: gather wood, sell it, watch the numbers tick up. Then the game opens out. You hire workers to collect raw materials across different regions, automate production so the machines do the chopping for you, and connect it all with a railway network that carries your goods and keeps the whole operation moving. Money feeds into a large skill tree of permanent upgrades, so every purchase sticks. The pixel art is warm and easy on the eyes, and nothing rushes you. It is a short game, and one player found the pace uneven in places, but the loop of produce, transport and profit is a satisfying one.
