A day in Holtgrove

From a sunrise by the pond to a quiet night by the fire, watch your woodcutter work while the world goes about its day.

43 seconds, with music. Captions show the words on screen.

What you do in Idleholt

Pick a tree, set your woodcutter going, and watch the logs pile up. Idleholt is a quiet game about the work of the forest, played at your own pace.

  • Five skills to grow

    Felling, Whittling, Hearthkeeping, Fishing and Roasting. Chop new trees, carve logs into goods, fish the pond, and roast your catch over the hearth.

  • Skill chains

    Line up a loop, such as fell, whittle and sell, press Start, and your woodcutter repeats it on their own.

  • Plays on while you're away

    Close the tab and your character keeps working at a gentle pace. A welcome-back card shows what they got done.

  • A shared woodland

    Others walk Holtgrove with you. Say hello in chat, fish side by side on the pier, and climb the hiscores.

  • Make them yours

    Choose a body type, hairstyle, hair colour, skin, hat and outfit, and change them any time.

  • Bank and stall

    Fill the vault at Holtgrove Bank and sell your carvings at Cobblethorn's stall for coins.
