About Lumberite (Prologue)
Lumberite (Prologue) is a cozy idle game about a small ritual and one big goal. Two workers, Barbus and Dodus, split the job: Barbus chops the trees and Dodus carries the wood back. Every log goes to an altar, and enough wood earns the magical pickaxe, the one tool that can get them past the Mountain.
You run things from above. Drag the screen to look around, select buildings, hire more workers and buy upgrades. Days and nights take turns, so part of the puzzle is balancing the two, and research in the forest helps you gather the wood you need.
This is a prologue, a short opening chapter that takes about half an hour. The pixel art is calm and pretty, with a purple night sky, dark mountains and an altar glowing pink at the heart of the village. You can play Lumberite (Prologue) online on a computer or on a phone turned sideways.

What to Expect in Lumberite (Prologue)
The pace is gentle and set by the rhythm of day and night. The whole thing works like a small machine you keep tuning: more workers, better upgrades and more wood stacking up at the altar.
It was made in three days for a game jam, so it's compact, and the single goal gives it a clean finish line. You can play Lumberite (Prologue) free in one sitting, and it's a good pick if you like a cozy idle game with a clear end point.

- Keep an eye on the day and night cycle, since balancing the two is part of the job.

Lumberite (Prologue) unblocked works anywhere FunClicker can open. It needs no download and runs in a normal browser tab, with touch and mouse both supported. School networks run their own filters, though, so we cannot promise it will load on yours. If the site opens, the village should too.
Who are Barbus and Dodus in Lumberite (Prologue)?
They're the two workers at the heart of the game. Barbus does the chopping and Dodus does the fetching, carrying wood back to the altar. You can hire more workers and upgrade them, but these two are the ones chasing the magical pickaxe and a way past the Mountain.
Why is Lumberite (Prologue) called a prologue?
It's a short opening chapter rather than a full game. Lumberite (Prologue) has a single goal and takes about half an hour, which makes it a compact introduction to its world, its two workers and the Mountain they want to cross. It began life as a three-day jam game.
