About the Game

Sandalwood Simulator is an open-world sandalwood smuggling game set in a beautiful yet dangerous forest environment. Players cut down valuable sandalwood trees, process the logs, and load them into vehicles before attempting to smuggle them across the region for massive profit.

But the jungle is never safe.

At any moment, rival gangs can launch raids to steal your cargo, ambush you on forest roads, or defend their own hidden stash locations deep inside dense jungle territory. Encounters can quickly turn into intense gunfights, and once bullets start flying, the police won’t stay far behind.

Law enforcement can arrive unexpectedly during raids, track you through intel leaks, or set up surprise operations targeting both smugglers and rival gangs alike. Survival depends on quick decisions, smart routes, and knowing when to fight or flee.

Even if you escape the jungle safely, the journey isn’t over. Check posts across the map will test your luck and strategy. You can attempt to bribe officers to pass through, but offering too little may immediately expose you and land you in jail.

Successfully delivering sandalwood to the black market rewards you with huge profits, allowing you to upgrade vehicles, buy better weapons, customize clothing, and purchase larger homes and properties.

All of this takes place inside a rich, atmospheric world that blends cozy natural beauty with constant tension, creating a unique mix of relaxing exploration and high-risk smuggling gameplay.
