Welcome to Outset.

Outset is a 2D platformer RPG being developed for PC and Mac. You control an Explorer, a wanderer tasked with searching the surrounding world and ideally finding something useful to bring back to your home - the village of NOTDON.

But how will you do that? With your GRAPPLING HOOK!


This stylish tool lets you speed across gaps and barrel through the world in a gameplay loop that combines fast-flowing platforming and nonlinear exploration. It'll even impress the other Explorers (for better or for worse) and make you the talk of the town, for the first time ever!

Along the way, you'll encounter ferocious foes, navigate the world, and maybe uncover some secrets about the world around you and your place in it.

...

Nah, of course you won't! It's just a game where you fight robots and try not to die! Just a fun, friendly, little game...

...right?


FEATURES:

• Master your grappling hook and its slew of upgrades to discover new locations and secrets
  
• Learn about the world around you through gameplay, new discoveries, and LOTS of (mostly optional) flavortext
  
• Forge your own path... nonlinearly! Every dialogue choice and navigational decision will significantly change the story and the path forward.
  
• Explore the 6 distinct regions of a massive, interconnected world (this is an indie game, though. It won't an AAA open-world game in 2D. But it will be big. But not that big. But still big. But not...)
  
• Get hustled by no less than 2 very similar shopkeepers
  
• Witness the evolution and impact of humanity firsthand (this means that major areas in the game will change and adapt based on the story)
  
• Take a nap
  
• And many more!

On track for a release in early 2022... hopefully!
