Outbound

Outbound is an open-world exploration game set in a utopian near future. The player starts with an empty camper van and gradually develops it into a home on wheels. The game can be played solo or cooperatively online with up to four players, and there is no set pace for building or exploring.

Core play involves collecting materials, crafting, and constructing with a modular building system, both inside and on top of the vehicle. The van is electric and can be powered by solar, wind, or water energy. Players advance through technology and manage their energy use to power the home. The vehicle can be customised with paint, decorations, and furniture.

The game world includes diverse biomes with landmarks to discover. Players can create gardens to grow plants and mushrooms, and can cook meals to stay healthy while travelling. An animal companion can be adopted at the Paws & Whiskers Lodge, and it can be fed, petted, and trained to provide help.
