Now then, Let's talk about how you came to be here:

Chapter IV: Your story:

You play the part of a young man, called Jari (just as an FYI, you don't actually need to call your character Jari, this is just for people who are interested to listen to my story)

"In Iron Age Finland, there was a young man named Jari who lived in a small village with his family. Jari was always curious about the world outside his village, and he often found himself questioning the traditions and beliefs of his people.

One Cold Winters day, while walking in the forest, Jari stumbled upon an ancient sacred site. Despite knowing that it was forbidden to enter the site, Jari couldn't resist the temptation and entered it. As he explored the site, he accidentally broke one of the sacred stones, which was a grave sin in his community.

When the village elders found out about Jari's sacrilege, they banished him from the village, but not before beating him severely and he was forced to live on his own in the woods. Jari was devastated but determined to survive and make a life for himself.

Over time, Jari learned how to hunt, fish, and forage for food. He built himself a small shelter using materials from the forest, and he learned to live off the land. Jari also spent his days reflecting on his actions and searching for meaning in his life."


Before people ask, yes this is a modified version of @Utumno's Post!

Welcome to an Unreal World of pain, suffering, starvation and shivering!  Unless you've already played a fair bit and know what you're doing, you're doomed.  Even if you do know what you're about, bad luck may still doom you.  Gotta love it  :)

I will be beginning this journey on the 17th of May 2024 5:00 PM GMT+1 I also have been planning to record and play for quite some time now, I hope to share this experience with others both new and experienced in the game, let's hope this turns into a nice and fruitful Let's play series!

Many attempts have been had of course, lmao, however I already have recorded the first episode and will most likely spend the next few weeks editing and splicing up the video to make it more enjoyable for you all to watch  :D
