About the Game

Wood for Nobody Else is a short story and physics-based challenge to split logs in two. 

You're underpaid, overworked, and what you can do is never enough.

Your task is simple: make it through the week. The bills have to be paid somehow.

Features:

  • Mouse-based gameplay aiming and controlling your trusty axe.

  • Each log splits where you strike the wood - keep it clean and do your best!

  • Scoring based on your ability to chop accurately and be a good worker.

  • Original short story and dialog for seven in-game days.

  • Ambient, lo-fi soundtrack.

  • Endless mode.

  • Existential dread.
