Tinkernest is a game about combinations, colony simulation, automation, and discovery.
You wake up on the beach in an unknown place. Make friends with these lovable animals and establish a new village with them. If you get stuck, look for clues left by those who have been here before. Eventually, you will feel at home.
Combine everything!
Items, buildings, the environment, and even... villagers? At first, recipes are unknown to you. Experiment and be curious. There's so much to remember.
Design your 3D pixel art home!
This art style turns your creations into living pixel art illustrations. Build your settlement with freely rotatable buildings and decorations. Look at them from every angle with photo mode. (If you know how to make a camera.)
Work with the villagers!
These cute workers will cooperate with you to establish routines and set up simple automations for your discovered combinations. They are just like you. Take good care of them.
Explore the archives.
Discover odd structures on the island. Some of them lead below. Whoever built this wants you to succeed. What are you doing here?

About the developers:
Heyo! I'm starbi. Last year, I traveled to a tiny village in Sweden to meet other game developers, where I met HOLYPERSON, who was doing the same thing. Together, we are afterwalk. Each of us has an obsession. One wants to merge EVERYTHING. The other wants to make this world feel ALIVE.
FUN FACT: starbi worked on Spilled!, a game with a very similar art style. What a coincidence!
This game has been our life since 2025. We hope we can invite you into our world soon.
