Outward: An Extraordinary Adventure Set In Ordinary Lives

BY: BENJAMIN "FOGHLADHA" FOLEY

Over the years, we have seen great diversity in the roleplaying genre. However, one thing that remains constant is that most RPGs place you in the role of some pre-ordained hero who is destined for greatness. Outward hopes to tell a different story. A story of a humble adventurer who builds their legacy from the life of a common man. Your story is your choice. There is no narrative pushing you in the direction of stopping some pending doom. It's all about choice and consequences. Like an endless choose your own adventure game with limitless replayability. Every playthrough is unique and personal.

GUIDES

Welcome to Oblivion...

BY:

As your eyes open the warmth of the crackling fire belies the cold dampness emanating from the ice blue crystals. The nagging sense of desperation creeps forth, “Move!” Screams your mind.
