The Outcast: Episode 1 at Mac App Store analyse

The Outcast is a whole world you experience in your pocket. Join us on this epic text adventure where youll explore a vast and dangerous world through a unique story system that unfolds at your own pace. This is a story unlike any other. PLAY AT YOUR OWN PACE: -------------------------------------------- We dont want you to sit down and play The Outcast for hours. Seriously. We want you to take it with you throughout the day. Its like a secret world no one else knows about. You might be out and about walking around, eating lunch, or maybe on a date when something happens in The Outcast. When you go in, the story resumes. Maybe youve stumbled across an old rest stop, or a graveyard of cars, or a stranger asking for help. Youll make decisions, meet characters, and explore. Once its over, you leave and wait for your next unexpected event. A STORY ONLY YOU CAN TELL: -------------------------------------------- We built our own engine to tell this unique story. We call it the Firewood engine. Why did we build one? Because it can tell stories no other engine can. Usually, if you make a decision, theres a single outcome. So if you play again, you already know what will happen. With the Firewood engine, we have the ability to make as many different outcomes from your choice as we want. So when you meet a character the first time they might become your friend, but if you play again, they may become your enemy. This engine ensures that every story will be unique and unpredictable, just like real life. JOIN OUR GROWING COMMUNITY: -------------------------------------------- We started The Outcast in June of 2014.
