The Dwarf Fortress of survival gaming has been in continual development for 33 years, and its creator doesn't think he'll ever stop updating it: 'When I accomplish one feature, I always have two more waiting'

UnReal World has been in development since 1992.

I wonder why I've never heard of this game before. I've added it to my wishlist, it sounds really interesting.

Sometimes I wish I had a project I could enjoy working on for my entire life, but instead I struggle even finishing most of the games I start playing.

Went to their website and saw it was recently released on GOG. Will try and pick it up and see. From what I read looks good and saw on their website they have a 9/10 Steam rating.

Must add I have never heard of it either. Since 1996 .......... well ok if they say so. Might have been hidden inside Finland for many years. Heard that it took Draken sang (The dark eye) 2 years before it was released outside of Germany. Maybe similar situation

Seems to be on sale for $6.50 US on GoG right now.

Looks like a really cool game and I love what they're doing, though it's definitely not for me. Given too much freedom and a sandbox, my brain usually just shuts down instead...

Just like everything else it is more expensive in the "poorer" countries. Eventually got away with $14 (About) which was R290.

Game is ummmm "Odd". The mouse is usable but not for movement etc. I created a testing Character and just took a stroll about. Each step needs to be done with the "Up arrow" on the keyboard, then directional changes is the left and right. This only change the direction you are facing and does not move the character. I have seen something similar many years ago but honestly do not remember where or when or even what it was called. Certainly, something to get used to.

Pretty much the whole game is played on the keyboard. I did the "Training" version of it and needed to find water. After day 2 got lost and could not find my camp so quit without saving. LMAO that character is now listed as an Ancestor that did not make it past 2 days in the wilderness.

Since I do not know much of the game nor how to play it I cannot fairly give an opinion on it. Only way would be to play it and see what happens. Least now I know to makes sure I remember where my camp is.

Bottom line, yes FULL (No frills) Nature survival game. No Zombies, no Aliens. Just you, the animal kingdom and nature. Loved the Lores written at the start of the game.

Recommend it to someone? not yet and would be unfair to the creators to give an opinion now since I do not even know how to play it yet. Ask me again in a few days.
