About Timberborn

Timberborn imagines an Earth that mankind turned into a dry wasteland before perishing, leaving certain species to adapt and evolve in humanity's absence. You take charge of a beaver colony and see just how long it can endure, guiding an industrious little society through a hostile, reclaimed world. As an indie strategy and simulation title, it blends city-building with environmental survival.

You can lead one of two beaver factions, the nature-friendly Folktails or the industrious Iron Teeth, each with its own buildings, technology, and gameplay traits to suit different playstyles. Survival means preparing for recurring droughts and waves of toxic waste, stockpiling food, and keeping fields and forests alive even after the rivers run dry, drawing on both natural water sources and artificial irrigation to keep the land arable and your beavers safe.

The game's engineering leans on legendary beaver skill. Thanks to 3D water physics and terraforming, you can raise dams and floodgates, build massive aqueducts, blast canals and tunnels, and reshape the terrain at will. A vertical architecture system lets you stack lodges and workshops to save space, link them with platforms, bridges, ziplines, and tubeways, and turn timber into sophisticated machinery, from water wheels and mills to engines and mechanized pumps, on PC.
