RPG Gamers summaryUnReal World is a unique open-ended game that combines elements of roguelike roleplaying and survival simulation. Set in the Far North, the game places players in the shoes of one of nine different cultures, allowing them to lead a life as a fisherman, hermit, adventurer, hunter, trapper, or tradesman as they explore the vast and intricately detailed world that is randomly generated for unlimited replayability. With a focus on realistic survival in harsh ancient wilderness, players can track animals, set traps, hunt with bows and spears, cook food, build a shelter, trade with villagers, craft items, and interact with cultures near and far. The game features a skill-based system with skill sets ranging from cookery to tracking, detailed terrain generation, and a convincing northern animal kingdom with species-specific behavior patterns and feeding relationships modeled in detail. Despite its release in 1992, the game has been continually maintained and developed, with the Steam version being the third evolution of the game. While there are no Steam goodies, such as achievements or cloud saves, the game’s depth, realism, atmosphere, and immersion have been praised by players and critics alike throughout the years.
