A more formal description:

UnReal World, or UrW, is a unique graphical roguelike RPG taking place in the Far North long, long ago. It brings you a realistic game world rich with historical atmosphere in which northern folklore, knowledge and way of life play an important part. The atmosphere and game features are highly original and compelling. The world of the game is based on the ancient Finland in the late Iron Age.


As a member of one of the nine different cultures you'll enter a very realistic and enchanting game world:

- find excitement in surviving everyday life and the quest for success in the harsh ancient wilderness
- play freely or complete various game tasks in a huge randomly generated world
- skill-based system including dozens of skills from COOKERY to HIDEWORKING
- keep in touch with the indigenous spirit world and the supernatural guardians of nature
- packed with intuitive graphics and pictures, original music and sounds


..there are infinite ways to play the game:

as a fisherman, a hermit searching for the peace, a brave adventurer, a rough hunter, a trapper or a tradesman etc. Everything is up to you.


Heres my char:

So.. time to play!

Spoiler: Day 1: Wait... what? (click to show/hide)

Day 1: Wait.. where am i?

It begins...


Uhh.. huh? Wheres this? I kinda.. what..
Oh yeah. Silly me. The herders left me here hours ago, pointing out some directions i cant quite remember..
Lets see if i remembered all my stuff..


Paska! I forgot my axe!

Ill climb a tree and see if i can find the herders..


They're gone.. crap. Though that fox is looking quite delicious. Lets see if i can catch it!


It got away.. god damned foxie :/


The herders told me that Driik territory would be beyond a river in the northwest.. could this be the one?
Proably is.

If it is. I am currently in a no-mans land, wich means i could get mugged any god damn moment. I'll be more safe north of this river. I'd rather take the risk than anything else.


Been a while since last time i touched water like this. Sure is refreshing to drink something other than pond water or the fluids of ox poop.
Lets jump in! *splash*

*swim* going easy!
*swim* woah.. this is one big river..
*swim* oh shit *gasp* oh fuck oh hell oh crap im gonna die


*gaso* *blurp*

Now that was close..


Ill rest here. Damn that was tough.


This looks like good firewood!


Nice and cosy.. lets sleep. That swim was terrible.. those currents!


Well.. good bye camp! Im gonna find a village!
Lets climb a tree..


Oh~!


Looks nice enough..

Lets go find a new axe.


Greedy bastard! (I was considering to grab the axe and leg it but i wouldnt risk alienating the village(or the tribe) early in the game.. so, yeah.)


I found a sufficiently sharp rock, a big stick.. i had to rip some of my clothes up too for something to tie it together.. sadly.
But its decent! I could cut down a tree with it, but any sort of carpentry would take alot of time. Ill use that one for now untill i can trade my way to a better axe.

Lets get back to the camp.

Look what i caught! Thats gonna keep me fed for a while..


Made myself some cups, they are PASKA

Anyways.. good night!

Spoiler: The days of starvation from day 3 to day 17, and the day 19 of salvation (click to show/hide)

Alright: Alot of things went wrong here, the river wont yield any real fish, mainly because of bad fishing skill and only having a spear for such.
Though i did manage to save myself anyway, i will describe this soon.


Getting quite desperate here, so i carved some cups hoping i could trade them for some food.

Thought i could eat the rye grains so i bought em.

Fuck!

(For some reason the screenshot program went apeshit and corrupted the files i made for a bit of the story, sorry, ill sum it up)

Days and days went where the river wouldnt yield any fish, i was starving! Sometimes i would get a petty little fish, but only that, otherwise there would be absolutely nothing to eat.
I got very desperate and started wandering around in the area, following roads to other villages. Eventually i found a guy selling meat, it was cheap, he accepted my wooden cups.

Look! Cheap food! Thats gonna keep me fed!


Hehe.. look how much i got from those darned cups.

Open for suggestions!

This is cool.

Good luck.  Perhaps we can see your skills, to better advise and comment.

In my game, my character has like 10% climbing skill, so climbing trees to look around simply isn't an option for me.  Glad to see you're using the climb tree feature so effectively!
