As part of the Green Game Jam, Out and About tackles a quiet crisis: plant blindness—the inability to notice, name, or value the plants around us. Without knowledge or understanding of nature, empathy and care cannot grow. Out and About is designed to change that. In this cozy foraging simulator, players learn to identify over 100 real plants and mushrooms, gaining the practical, factual knowledge needed to truly see and value the natural world. They use what they learn to craft recipes, remedies, and tools—bridging the gap between knowing and doing. But knowledge alone isn't enough.
Through rich, climate-focused storylines and characters shaped by environmental change, the game helps players connect emotionally as well. From restoring habitats to experiencing the struggles and hopes of conservation-minded NPCs, Out and About invites players to nurture nature by first letting it into their hearts and minds. Because when you understand nature, you start to care—and when you care, you act.
