I love the idea of cosy living, which is why it was thatTiny Living updatethat dragged me back intoThe Sims 4for a few years there. The issue of course, is that in real life, if forced to live in a space the size of the interior of a camper van, I would pile things on every surface within about 12 hours. Chaos would reign. I would hate it. But I don’t hate theideaof it, which is why i enjoy things likeOutbound, which is a game about living in a camper van.

Outbound seems like the intersection of some of guides ed Ollie’s interests (he likes building terrifying chains of automated machines insurvivalgames) and my interests (I like pretending to grow plants :]). In Outbound you have to build a moving base and use automation for some processes, and plug in to renewable sources of energy, but you also grow mushrooms and decorate. Hooray! The release date is still TBA, but you can check out theSteam store page.
That was perhaps a depressing tangent. Outbound is not itself a harmful form of that fantasy - in fact it looks kinda neat for a video game, right? Out some time.Steam page. Have at it.
