About Outbound
Outbound is a cozy open‑world adventure set in a utopian near future. You begin with an empty electric camper van and can transform it into a mobile home using modular building parts, paint, decorations, and furniture.
The game lets you explore colorful biomes alone or with up to three friends online. Energy comes from solar, wind, or water sources, and you can grow gardens, adopt companions, and progress at your own pace.
