Overview
Outbound takes place in a utopian near-future world that is largely unpopulated by human characters. The game focuses on solo or co-op exploration with animal companions rather than traditional NPC-driven quests, trading, or dialogue systems.
Paws and Whiskers Lodge
The Paws & Whiskers Lodge is a location where players can adopt companion animals. The dog companion (unlocked as a community stretch goal during the Kickstarter campaign) can be fed, pet, and trained. Dogs respond to commands and help players by fetching items, carrying supplies, and bringing them back to the vehicle.
Multiplayer as social interaction
In the absence of human NPCs, social interaction comes primarily through multiplayer co-op with up to four players online. Friends can share the same van, build together, and explore the world as a group.
