Brandan Greene, AKA PlayerUnknown himself, has just revealed his new studio's next project: an ultra-realistic survival game that's aiming to be the toughest in the genre.
Prologue: Go Wayback! seems simple enough. You're plopped into a rural cabin in a valley not too dissimilar to the places you might have seen in other survival games already, with the goal of reaching a weather station on some valley above, all while fighting off hunger, thirst, and the temperature, of course. It sounds like your average survival experience - except, this time, there are no tutorials, and any gamified mechanics are entirely stripped out of the experience. To build a fire, you'll need to place the logs manually. To find the path forward, you must orient yourself on a map devoid of markers. It's as realistic a survival experience as you could get without actually wandering off into the middle of nowhere.
