| UnReal World (Video Game) | comment |
Developed by Finnish indie team Enormous Elk, Unreal World is a computer role-playing game with roguelike elements about survival in a mythologized iron-age Finland. The player must struggle against starvation, thirst, dangerous animals, the vicious Njerpez raiders, and greatest of all, the winter. On the other hand, there are many possibilities: Building your own log cabin, making a long multi-kilometer fence of traps, raising a hunting party, eradicating enemy villages, and more. It recently became a free donationware game available at the official website.Not to be confused with the FPS series created by Epic Games (or their namesake game engines, for that matter). | |

| UnReal World (Video Game) / int_18e7aa01 | comment |
Practical Currency: There is no money in the game, but everything does have a set trade value (invisible to the player) based on rarity and utility. Arrows, good meat, furs, and iron weapons and armor are the items most desired by NPCs, with Foreign Traders (one of the few suppliers of iron weapons and armour) only being interested in furs. An enterprising player can also construct dozens of "käpälälauta" fox traps, as their only material component comes from any large tree. | |

I'm a Humanitarian | |
| UnReal World (Video Game) / int_22071825 | comment |
I'm a Humanitarian: Nobody bats an eye at human flesh and fat. In older versions, this was a laughably easy source of food, as any non-Njerpez alone in the wilderness will not expect the first strike from you. Nowadays, you can only butcher a human when you are legitimately starving to death, and you cannot make human skin into leather or fur. | |

Low Fantasy: Explicitly described as such by its developers, including in official interviews.

Boring, but Practical | |
| UnReal World (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6 | comment |
Boring, but Practical: Sure, items like swords, mail armour, lamellar amour, maces, iron broadheads and simple crossbows all sound awesome, but they're rare, expensive, generally hard to come by. Knives, axes, bows and spears have you covered in most situations when you need to work, hunt, fight, or all three to varying degrees. Many of the seemingly unremarkable tools that the player takes for granted can also prove indispensible or real life-savers. Just ask any Unreal World veteran on how well they'd do without a fishing rod, nets, or a shovel. Among the buildings, the humble cellar is a simple, but highly useful structure, allowing for longer-term (but not infinite) preservation of perishable food and other supplies. | |

Throwing Your Sword Always Works | |
| UnReal World (Video Game) / int_519f108a | comment |
Throwing Your Sword Always Works: Averted completely. Swords are actually some of the few weapons in the game that can't be thrown at all, whether well or badly. Shooting arrows, throwing javelins, spears, throwing axes, or even just rocks, clubs or stakes are all more dependable methods. The player character can also throw knives, but this is discouraged, as knives can get easily damaged from the process and they're overly valuable tools to waste so easily. | |

Snow Means Death | |
| UnReal World (Video Game) / int_55180ce | comment |
Snow Means Death: Winter is unsurprisingly the harshest season in the game, and players are encouraged to prepare for it well in advance, stockpiling preservable supplies, building more permanent dwellings with heat sources, etc. Walking in deep snow causes a character to get fatigued more quickly, and just walking outside in the cold for prolonged periods can have repercussions for the character's health. If you don't have adequate clothing and other survival measures ready, winter can easily weaken your character until they can no longer struggle on. Even water is harder to come by in winter, as most inland sources of water completely freeze over and the player has to create holes in the ice to access fresh water for drinking or fishing. | |

Fantasy Counterpart Culture | |
| UnReal World (Video Game) / int_57d43e40 | comment |
Fantasy Counterpart Culture: Every tribe represents some historical group or region of people living in iron-age Finland. The northern cultures and some of the technology (e.g. kota huts) are inspired mainly by the Sami, the western cultures reflect the more advanced cultures of the old Finnish southwest, and so on. Averted for the Njerpez, who are generic "foreign invaders" and do not represent any specific people. The devs explain their approach to the game's fictionalised versions of historical/cultural group more closely in this article. | |

| UnReal World (Video Game) / int_5ea9e6f3 | comment |
Edutainment Game: Not overtly, but a lot of attention has been paid towards a plausible portrayal of Iron Age prehistory in a Finnish-style setting, based on known archaeological and historical evidence. You can learn quite a few things about daily survival and chores in a northern European Iron Age society, and updates continue to introduce era-appropriate elements. Some older versions of the game even saw domestic releases on CD for Finnish libraries and schools, as an interactive learning tool. | |

Panthera Awesome: The Lynx can be quite dangerous if cornered or provoked, and wounds caused by their claws have a nasty tendency to bleed. However, this is nothing compared to the earlier versions of the game, where it was by far the most dangerous animal in the game, very aggressive, and could kill most characters with just 1-2 hits. | |

Nintendo Hard | |
| UnReal World (Video Game) / int_62259825 | comment |
Nintendo Hard: Hunting - whether animals or Njerpez - takes quite a bit of practice to accomplish without getting killed. The "Runaway Slave" starting scenario. All you've got is a few pieces of clothing and a knife. And you start in the middle of a Njerpez camp. Each of them is more heavily armed than you are. Good luck, you'll need it. If that's still not enough for you, try starting it in winter. "Hurt, Helpless, and Afraid". Same items as the above scenario, only you now also have a random collection of injuries ranging from bruises to broken ribs. Even more so, the Njerpez who did it to you have long since left; unlike the Runaway Slave scenario, where a very skilled player can kill one Njerpez, take his weapon, and use it to eliminate the rest one at a time in order to accumulate the entire wealth of their camp, there is no corresponding guaranteed boon of raiders to raid, even if your injuries permitted it. Best of fortune should you start this scenario in the dead of winter and end up with a bad arm injury. | |

Critical Existence Failure | |
| UnReal World (Video Game) / int_64f0c18c | comment |
Critical Existence Failure: Not quite! Any damage, including minor cuts and bruises, causes stacking penalties to combat and other actions. Limb damage will inhibit walking or weapon-use. Severe eye damage will actually reduce your field of view until healed. All of this affects your character, but can be exploited on your enemies, too. It's much easier to deliver a killing strike to the head after a foe's torso is battered a bit, and a game animal will have a difficult time escaping after an arrow has skewered its leg. Damage takes several days and repeated care to heal, and very severe wounds can worsen if mistreated or left alone. | |

Archer Archetype: Having a high archery skill and good quality bow and arrows can prove useful for ranged hunting and in ranged combat. They aren't a flawless method, though, nor necessarily the strongest or only method of active hunting. Also, Bow and Sword in Accord characters are actually averted for the most part, given that all of the swords in the game are rare and expensive items. "Bow and Axe in Accord" or "Bow and Spear in Accord" would be a more fitting description. | |

Bottomless Quivers / Infinite Supplies: Forget it ! Even crafting the most ordinary, weakest arrow requires you to gather basic resources for its shaft, fletching and some tying material to put it all together. Once you shoot that arrow and it gets damaged beyond repair or reasonable retrieval, you'll simply have to manufacture another arrow. Each and every one of them, in fact. And that's not even getting into the necessary daily routine of gathering basic supplies like firewood, basic food like fish or berries, and other items you need to stockpile, depending on the season. Luckily, things get easier as your character builds up their housing and supply-gathering infrastructure and gains experience along with the player. | |

Berserk Button: Throw a rock at a villager, and the whole village will immediately hunt you down and slay you. The Njerpez seem to go berserk at any life-form other than themselves. | |

Weapons of Their Trade | |
| UnReal World (Video Game) / int_c256bad3 | comment |
Weapons of Their Trade: Most people in the game will use their tools — such as wood axes, fisher's knives or hunting spears — as weapons. In fact, purpose-built weapons such as swords or battle-axes are relatively rare and, while they generally have better stats than improvised weapons, if you want one you'll either need to lug around the extra weight (which gives you a penatly to many skill tests) or stash it somewhere where you might not reach it in time if you get attacked. Furthermore, purpose-built weapons are rarely needed because human opponents are rarely encountered, unless you deliberately provoke villagers or go out hunting Njerpez or bandits. | |

Shout-Out | |
| UnReal World (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Some of the inspiration for the tone of the setting and its mythical and cultural aspects is inspired by The Kalevala, as well as other collected Finnish myth and folklore. One of the available starting scenarios, which has the player starting off with an animal companion, is called "Not All Who Wander are Lost". Fittingly, Tolkien was a big fan of The Kalevala and Finnish folklore and myths in general. | |

Creator Provincialism | |
| UnReal World (Video Game) / int_d68c925d | comment |
Creator Provincialism: A healthy dose of it, in a very smart and positive way. The two devs behind the game, Sami Maaranen and Erkka Lehmus, share a life-long interest in historical crafts and archery, early Fennoscandian history, Finnish archaeology and ethnography, in addition to home-brewn game development. After just a few years of working on the initial Standard Fantasy Setting version of Unreal World, they decided to change the entire setting in the mid 1990s to a Finnish-themed one, and ever since then, have focused on increasing immersion into the semi-historical Finnish-style setting. | |

Art Evolution | |
| UnReal World (Video Game) / int_e43c66bd | comment |
Art Evolution: Since 1992, the game has gone from ASCI "graphics" to very simple drawn graphics and sprites, to increasingly sophisticated ones, with more terrain and object variations, etc. The latest, post-3.30 releases have overhauled the NPC and object graphics and made several important updates to the lighting effects, even though the game is still a graphically lightweight 2D roguelike. Compare the screenshots of older versions with this◊ or this one◊ from the most recent release, and the gradual improvement of the graphics and their details is palpable. | |

Earth Drift | |
| UnReal World (Video Game) / int_eb76a524 | comment |
Earth Drift: Actually inverted during the game's long and patient development history. When home-brewn development began in the early 90s, the game had a more typical fantasy setting, but the devs decided to switch to a more original "ancient Finnish wilderness" idea around the mid 1990s. Though this shift was gradual, the game gravitated towards a more realistic, more semi-historical setting already twenty years ago. The setting itself is a Fictional Earth take on Fennoscandia centuries before the early Middle Ages arrived to that part of the world. | |

Sprint Meter | |

Sprint Meter: Quite important, as it affects all skill checks. It is also used up by attacking and dodging, and the max value is lowered by any injury. | |

Wizard Needs Food Badly | |
| UnReal World (Video Game) / int_ee828827 | comment |
Wizard Needs Food Badly: Hunger is tracked with a three-tiered system: The Hunger meter represents your appetite and stomach fullness. When hunger is depleted, your character is stuffed and can't tolerate eating another bite (even while malnourished). Nutrition tracks your day-to-day calorie surplus or deficit. Calorie-dense foods more efficiently build this up compared to filling your stomach with fiber and soup. A calorie surplus gives you a larger buffer before reaching starvation, even without eating more food. The Starvation meter represents the long-term effects of extreme calorie deficit and can only be recovered by having a prolonged calorie surplus in the Nutrition bar. | |

Video Game Cruelty Potential | |
| UnReal World (Video Game) / int_f87c42d4 | comment |
Video Game Cruelty Potential: Nearly as much as in the adventure mode of Dwarf Fortress. Provided that your tactics and combat skills are strong enough, nothing is stopping you from slaughtering every peaceful village and nonviolent vagabond you come across, taking their stuff for yourself. One of the more cruel actions is to invite a villager on a hunting trip, just to isolate and kill them without any witnesses. Their home village takes notice of this and are unlikely to offer any additional companions, but their attitude resets after a few months. And there are many villages spread throughout the map... | |
