Outbound promises ﷽that you can escape your dystopian capitalist office job and venture out on your campervan without life-ruining repercussions. That's a fantasy lo꧒ts of people apparently share, because the survival simulation game is absolutely blowing through its Kickstarter stretch goals. 

Outbound is the upcoming open-world crafty-cozy game 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:that's borrowing from The Sims and Staᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚrdew Valley to live "sustainably off-grid." Set in a near-future utopia, Outbound has you scavenging, building, farming, driving, decorating, and then upgrading both the inside and outside of you♊r cute campervan either alꩵone or in up to four-player co-op.

Our little mo♉bile living space begins as a cramped, one-room box that can barely fit a single bed, but you can eventually unfold the roof to reveal an entire base that pops out, which is where The Sim-ish interior design kicks in.

Developer Square Glad Games launched its Kickstarter campaign on August 13, and over the last mon♔th over 5,000 backers pledged more than €265,000 (about $293,000). That final number means Square Gla🌃d raised almost nine times the amount they initially needed to, making Outbound a roaring crowdfunded success.

Backers also blew through every single stretch goal over the last few weeks. ♌The extra cash means that Square Gꩵlade will now add a fishing minigame, camping-related outdoor decorations like a bonfire, an entire beekeeping colony-management system, a full-fledged character editor, and a doggy companion to help us carry junk across the map. You can check out all the extra features coming to Outbound on its page. 

There's no release date just yet, but the developers are expecting it to be ready for PC, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PS5 sometime in 2026. Who knows? There might even be a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Nintendo Switch 2 out by then.
