Cozy co-op crafting game with Stardew Valley and The Sims vibes obliterates Kickstarter with 8x its funding goals – now there’s fishing, a dog, and a character editor

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 lots 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 that’s borrowing from The Sims and Stardew 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 your cute campervan either alone or in up to four-player co-op.
