Short description
Survive in a realistic Tasmanian wilderness recreated with real‑world data. The land is beautiful, harsh, and indifferent to your survival.
About this game
Walkabout is a realistic digital twin of the Cockle Creek region in southern Tasmania, recreated using real‑world data with the goal of recreating a real place as faithfully as possible. Cockle Creek is the southernmost drivable point in Australia. It is remote and quiet, surrounded by pristine beaches and dense rainforests, with unforgiving weather. It is a beautiful place and a harsh one. That makes it an ideal setting for a realistic survival experience. The environment is your story. Good luck staying alive. Walkabout was built with accuracy to real life in mind. The following features were created using real‑world data and hand‑crafted reconstruction to match the Cockle Creek region as closely as possible: Actual heightmap data used for the base landscape. Accurate time and date simulation using the correct time zone and calendar. Dynamic lighting based on real‑world intensity, exposure, and colour temperature values. True sun position calculated from global coordinates, date, and time. Seasonally‑influenced dynamic weather reflecting southern Tasmanian conditions. Realistic ocean tides simulated using data from the Cockle Creek area. Accurate Earth rotation represented in the sky system. Hand‑sculpted rivers matching their real‑world paths. Roads, walking trails, driveways, and 4WD tracks shaped to match their real‑world locations. Native flora representing approximately 80% of the vegetation. Native fauna representing 100% of the wildlife. Additionally, Walkabout currently features: Customisable UI colouring. Full gamepad controller support with customisable keybinds. Customisable keybinds for mouse and keyboard. Language support for 15 different languages. Walkabout takes place in a 7 km × 7 km recreation of a real Australian location. It’s a quiet, atmospheric survival experience where you explore the land, gather what you need, and try to stay alive in a place that doesn’t care whether you make it or not. The wildlife won’t always warn you, the weather can turn without notice, and shelter becomes essential. You’ll build, craft, forage, and hunt iconic Australian animals when you need to. Survival depends on paying attention to yo…
