Backcountry

Backcountry is a meditative walking simulator where the player backpacks to different scenic destinations in the mountains. You plan and prepare for your hike to make sure you bring enough food, water, and the right equipment to reach your destination. The player progresses by reaching different points of interest which unlock a scenic photo of the location, new equipment, and increased stamina for future hikes. The player must manage sleep, food, water, and weight. The game will feature a dynamic weather system, day/night cycle, and leverage features of Unreal such as nanite and lumen to re-create the natural beauty of mountain ranges.
