About This Game

Norway, 1989. The bus drops you above a fjord village with a tent, a bag and 1450 kroner. Nobody is expecting you.

Find somewhere to stay

Read the notes on the board outside the shop and ring the numbers from a phone box. Split firewood for a neighbour, pack fish into crates at the quay, wash plates at the hotel. Save up for a room, pitch your tent at the campground, or sleep in a boathouse until the owner finds you there.

The village notices

People keep their own hours, and they remember what they see.

• Break into a house and the owner counts what's missing when they get home. If anyone saw you, the lensmann hears about it
• A neighbour can ring for help, unless you cut the phone line first
• Set a house on fire and the volunteer fire brigade turns out
• Something is killing the sheep up at Lia, and the farmers are loading their rifles

Get by however you can

• Pick a lock with a paper clip, force it with a chisel or climb in through a window
• Hunt deer in the woods, or fish the fjord and sell your catch
• Borrow a moped without asking, hotwire a car or row out to the island

The days are getting shorter and winter is coming. Utkant is Norwegian for "the outskirts". It is a solo project in development, and this page will grow with the game.
