Devil's Market to Forest Market
How Pasar Setan became Pasar Hutan — names, theme, servers, and what still carries over.
Forest Market did not appear from nowhere. The same Roblox place ID that players join today as Pasar Hutan spent its early life as Pasar Setan — widely labeled Devil’s Market in English creator videos. This page is the wiki’s rebrand history: what changed, what stayed, why search results still mix names, and how to watch older footage without wrecking your current farm.
Developer Project Dukun shipped the public experience on 21 June 2026. By November 2026 the live page markets a bright farm-to-shop tycoon with ~12.3M+ visits, roughly 95% likes, and online co-op on servers capped at 12 players. For patch tracking see the Updates Hub; for day-one habits start at Getting Started. Official destinations live on the Links Hub.

Same universe, same group, same core “run a stall and feed a market” fantasy — different coat of paint and discovery keywords.
What the ghost-market era looked like
Early descriptions leaned cozy-supernatural rather than horror jumpscares: grow mystical ingredients, cook strange dishes, open a night stall, and trade with ghostly customers. Creators framed the hook as “you are not hunted — you are selling.” TikTok and YouTube clips from mid-2026 still show graveyard mushrooms, incense spots, floating-dimension homes, and Indonesian pasar vibes tied to Project Dukun’s earlier social maps.
That fantasy left fingerprints that still matter after the rebrand:
- Stall / lapak culture and “Ride the Lapak” style milestones
- Cooking as a progression pillar (the Cook badge lineage)
- Helper creatures such as Tuyul that feel folkloric rather than generic pets
- A social market fantasy — you compete and co-op inside a busy pasar, not a lonely plot
So when an older video teaches ingredient routes or stall claiming, the loop idea can still help. The skin, maturity label, and some UI chrome will not match today’s Forest Market presentation.
Theme shift: haunted pasar → forest farm tycoon
The current Roblox blurb sells “From Farmer to Tycoon!”: plant and water crops, raise animals for eggs and milk, cook meals, stock shelves, and upgrade facilities. Genre listing moved toward Simulation. Maturity messaging settled on a broad “suitable for everyone” tone instead of mild fear framing.
Practically, that means new players should learn the bright loop first:
- Farm plots reliably (farming guides under Guides)
- Turn harvests into meals
- Keep shelves alive so customers fund upgrades
- Layer animals, Tuyul, mining/forge, Magic Shop, Spirit Chest, and events on top
Do not rebuild your entire strategy from a 2026 summer Devil’s Market stream. Use current Guides and re-check economy after every patch on the Updates Hub.
Server size: community notes on 20 → 12
Archived Devil’s Market page snapshots list server size 20. Live Forest Market listings show 12 players per server. Community notes treat that as a deliberate shrink toward denser, more readable co-op sessions rather than a silent bug. Plan parties around the 12 cap: split farm / cook / stock roles with friends via habits covered on the Players Hub, and expect fuller servers to feel busier even with fewer slots.
If an outdated guide says “fill a 20-player lobby,” ignore the number and keep the role-split advice.
September 2026 update video context
Creator uploads from 20 September 2026 explicitly title sessions as Forest Market “formally known as Pasar Setan / Devil’s Market.” The embedded video on this page is that transitional documentation — useful for seeing how the map and market fantasy looked once the Forest branding was already in the title card. Treat it as historical footage plus transferable shop instincts, not as a pixel-perfect tutorial for November systems like Guild Hall.
Why YouTube still says Pasar Setan
Search algorithms reward early viral titles. Indonesian creators locked Pasar Setan into thumbnails; English channels locked Devil’s Market. Roblox place URL slugs also lagged (Pasar-Setan vs Pasar-Hutan), so mirrors and blogs keep recycling both. None of that means you joined the wrong game if the place ID matches Project Dukun’s live Forest Market experience.
When researching:
- Prefer titles that say Forest Market or Pasar Hutan for current UI
- Use Pasar Setan clips for lore/context and early loop intuition
- Confirm codes and economy claims against this wiki’s Codes Hub (no verified public codes as of November 2026) instead of comment-section screenshots
Guild Hall and the post-rebrand roadmap
By early November 2026, Project Dukun’s headline event push was Guild Hall — communal building on top of the personal farm-shop loop. That direction fits the rebrand: less “night stall for spirits,” more “shared forest pasar infrastructure.” Read the dedicated Guild Hall guide before dumping your entire harvest into event sinks.
Growth stats around the same window — 12.3M+ visits, strong favorites, mid-thousands concurrent at peak checks — show the rebrand did not erase the original audience; it widened the discovery keywords toward farm tycoon players while keeping Indonesian market flavor.
Practical checklist for returning players
- Join from the official Pasar Hutan / Forest Market link on Official Links.
- Relearn HUD labels; do not hunt graveyard-only routes from memory.
- Rebuild a safe crop → cook → stock circuit before chasing side systems.
- Cap friend invites at the live 12 server size.
- Skim Updates after every Project Dukun shout.
- Ignore fake “Devil’s Market codes” lists; check Codes first.
What did not change
- Publisher: Project Dukun
- Platform: Roblox only, free-to-play
- Spine fantasy: grow, cook, sell, upgrade a personal market presence
- Social DNA: play with friends, flex stalls, chase badges
- Continuity of place identity under one evolving experience rather than a hard reboot wipe for most players
