Netherlands-based studio Square Glade Games has revealed their latest project, an open-world camper van exploration game called Outbound. Set in a utopian near future, players start with an empty camper van and have the freedom to build and explore at their own pace. The game allows players to scavenge materials, craft, automate production, and build in and on top of their vehicle with modular parts. The goal is to advance in technology and efficiently use energy to power the home, while adapting to new landscapes and changing environmental conditions.
The game’s key features include a source energy system to fuel the electric camper van with energy from the sun, wind, or water. Players can also build their moving base with a modular building system, customize the vehicle with paint, decorations, and furniture, create gardens to nurture plants and mushrooms, and explore a colorful open world with a variety of biomes, resources, and secrets to uncover. A Kickstarter campaign for Outbound is set to launch soon, but no release date has been announced yet. The game will be available on PC via Steam.
Overall, Outbound offers a unique open-world experience by allowing players the freedom to build and explore in a utopian near future. With its focus on sustainability and adaptability, the game presents an intriguing opportunity for players to create their perfect home on wheels while navigating different environmental conditions. The game’s emphasis on modular building and energy efficiency sets it apart from other open-world exploration games, making it an exciting addition to the genre. Keep an eye out for Outbound on Steam and the upcoming Kickstarter campaign for a chance to support this innovative project.
