What Timberborn is
Timberborn is an indie game developed by Mechanistry and released in 2026. It is available on Mac and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on Unity.
The premise, in the publisher's words
Mankind turned Earth into a dry wasteland and perished, but some species adapted and evolved. Pick one of the beaver factions and see how long your colony can last.
How it plays
It is played from a bird view / isometric perspective. Its themes are sandbox and survival. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component. There are 59 achievements to unlock.
How it was received
Timberborn holds a critic score of 86 out of 100. That places it above 88% of the 5,099 rated indie games in our database, which average 72. Games released in 2026 averaged 78, so it scored 8 points above the year average.
How long it takes, and what that costs
The main story runs about 31 hrs. Completing everything takes closer to 51 hrs, roughly 1.6 times the length of the critical path. At its current cheapest price of $24.49, that works out to about $0.79 per hour of the main story, or $0.48 per hour if you finish everything.
What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for 4-core 1.7 GHz or better, 8 GB RAM and GeForce GTX 950, Radeon R9 380 or similar. An 8GB memory requirement is modest by current standards; most machines sold in the last five years clear it. Install size is roughly 3GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
