Steam now
offers a playable demo for
Timberborn, allowing Windows and macOS gamers to
sample this upcoming post-apocalyptic city-building game between now and
February 16th. Here's what developer Mechanistry says about the demo: "Try the
free demo of Timberborn! And, whether your beavers survive or die in a desert,
share your feedback on
our
Discord server! Please note that the demo is only available in English. For
Early Access launch, Timberborn will be available in all 11 languages listed on
the Steam page." Here's an overview of what they call a lumberpunk game:
Mankind
turned Earth into a dry wasteland and perished, but some species adapted and
evolved. Choose one of the unique beaver factions and see how long your colony
can last!
Wet and dry seasons
Prepare your settlement for recurring droughts. Stockpile on food and keep
fields and forests alive even after rivers dry up. Rely on both natural water
sources and artificial irrigation to keep the land arable.
River control
Redirect rivers, put up dams and dig water canals with explosives – beavers of
the future have millennia of experience in water engineering. But be careful,
uncontrolled flooding is as deadly as a dynamite blast!
