Log Away

About Log Away

Log Away is a chill indie simulator where you build and decorate cozy cabins in serene natural settings. Developed by The-Mark Entertainment, it dropped on December 4, 2025, for PC. The game revolves around settling into seasonal retreats, seaside, mountains, or meadows, and shaping them at your pace. No grind, no timers, just placing furniture, rotating plants, and collecting story-rich trinkets. The vibe is all about low-pressure creativity and soft ambient music. Think of it as a digital cabin in the woods where you can unwind without stress.

Gameplay

You pick a retreat and three personal interests to subtly shape what appears. Decorate by placing chairs, lamps, and plants, then tweak rotations and layouts to match your mood. The Cozy Heart fills as you craft warm spaces, unlocking new items without feeling forced. Weather and time shift organically, but you can manually adjust them via Cozy Tools. Each Keepsake has a quiet narrative, and the 20+ acoustic tracks by Chris Haugen loop like a hammock swing. Sessions feel like slow-brew coffee: no rush, just refining corners and listening to rainfall.

PlayPile's Take

Log Away is a must for anyone craving a digital slow-living escape. At $29.99, it offers 18 hours of zen for the price of a weekend coffee habit. The 75% achievement completion rate shows it’s rewarding without being relentless. If you thrive in low-pressure, creative spaces, this is your virtual porch swing. But if you crave action or goals, it’ll feel like waiting for a pot to boil. Worth the price for the quiet.

Storyline

Build a cozy cabin that feels like home Travel to peaceful Retreats in changing seasons and weather. Build, decorate, and furnish at your own pace, and collect Keepsakes with softly narrated backstories. No grind. No pressure. Just nature, animals, and time to breathe. How it feels Quiet places to exhale: seaside coves, inland meadows, and mountain hideaways across fall, winter, and summer—each with a different mood in the light and weather. As lamps glow and corners gather comfort, you feel the room warm around you, the retreat growing cozier with every thoughtful touch. What you love matters: the interests you choose color what appears and which quiet stories surface, so discoveries feel aligned with you. Some Keepsakes carry softly narrated memories; together they settle into your Keepsakes collection—an album‑like place you can revisit whenever you need a reminder. A calming acoustic score and natural soundscapes lift the mood and immerse you in the environment. What you’ll do • Choose a retreat and settle in as the time of day and weather drift softly around you. • Select up to three interests (from ten). They gently shape decorating and furnishing options and nudge later discoveries, including which Keepsakes you’ll uncover, without locking you in. • Decorate at your own pace. Place, rotate, and refine with lamps, chairs, plants, and more, shaping the mood indoors and out. • Fill your Cozy Heart. As the space truly warms, your Cozy Heart reaches full; when it does, travel bags arrive with new Keepsakes to unpack and arrange. It’s a reflection of coziness, not a pressure meter. • Revisit your Keepsakes collection to browse what you’ve found and hear gentle backstories again, whenever you like. • Return anytime to tidy, tweak, and enjoy the quiet of your retreats, or start a new one. • Listen to an acoustic soundtrack with over 20 tracks composed by Chris Haugen, crafted to slow the world around you. • Personalize every moment with the Cozy Tools: capture breathtaking screenshots in Photo Mode, control the weather, change the time of day, and switch between visual styles for a unique vibe. A love letter to yourself Log Away is a game about coming back to yourself: simple moments, small comforts, the hush of rain on the window and a lamp glowing at dusk… No meters to chase. No timers. Just a retreat that waits for you, ready whenever you need to breathe.
