UnReal World is a unique combination of roguelike roleplaying game and survival simulation set in the Far North long, long ago. Throughout the years, UnReal World has been praised for its depth, realism, atmosphere and immersion. The game is completely open-ended and you decide whether you wish to lead a life of a fisherman, a hermit searching for the peace, a brave adventurer, a rough hunter, a trapper or a tradesman.
As a member of one of the nine different cultures you'll enter a detailed and enchanting iron-age game world in which northern folklore, knowledge and way of life play an important part. The world and mechanics of the game are highly realistic, rich with historical atmosphere and emphasized on survival in the harsh ancient wilderness.
A wide world with vast forests, mires and mountains to roam and watercourses to row is randomly and procedurally generated - and you can live off the land and explore it on very detailed level. Track animals, set traps, hunt with bows and spears, tan hides, go fishing, pick berries, cook food, sleep in a temporary shelter or build a log cottage, trade with the villagers, craft items, interact with cultures near and far -- and so much more.
A few of the key features:
UnReal World is the longest living roguelike game of all times. It was first released in 1992 and has been continuously maintained and developed ever since.
Over the years we’ve seen dozens and dozens of new UnReal World versions each of them being complete games of their own, and still there is no end in sight to working with updates and new versions. UnReal World GOG release out now is the third evolution of the game (3.*) and a great deal of updates, enhancements and new features to it will follow.

Your Grandfather's survival game.
Unreal World is Ancient Finland, plus a little magic. Honor your gods. You are not likely to survive the winter. This is an in depth game which has many intricate parts and many a skill. Much like the adventure mode of a certain Dwarven game, there's no end goal per se; your survival will be much a credit to your skills to understanding the game. There is much to understand. Barter (it's the late iron age, currency doesn't exist yet), herbalism (because eating random plants is a bad idea), trapping (because you need furs and food), and much more. If you've ever been in a scout troop or wilderness survival course, you will likely find yourself comfortable here. Somewhat comfortable, anyways. Be aware of walking into a bear, even if you've wounded it. Beware the wolves who will surround you. Is that fellow man a friend, or foe? He wants just as badly to survive as you, and may resort to choosing you as a fine mugging target. Now: This isn't without flaws, no game is flawless. There are many keys to press. It's a game that predates most GUIs, and this will come though. If you're not comfortable with managing survival and having things take a semi-realistic amount of time, this is likely not a game for you. Yes, helving a branch will take quite some time, as will making a fence. You're only one person. And if you are someone who needs a guided experience? This will not be the forest you walk. This is a game about going into the depths and weeds. But I personally find it quite the time to be had. Listen carefully to the forest. Step carefully on the lakes.
