Interview: Sami Maaranen, Erkka Lehmus and UnReal World

UnReal World is a life’s work for Sami Maaranen. Its development has continued without interruptions since 1992.
The survival game UnReal World is placed in a fantasy world that is reminiscent of ancient Finland. The game’s detailed hunting simulation is based on experience, since the developers have studied the secrets of ancient hunters. This makes the game a very lifelike representation of how Finns may have lived in the Iron Age. Lately, UnReal World has also started to achieve even more of the international attention it deserves. In the interview Sami and Erkka tell about the rich world of the game and continuing development.

I tried to play this game a couple of times and bounced off the interface. By the third time it made sense; walk slowly, think about your actions, use your imagination to put yourself in the wilderness. It is a magical game and it sends me elsewhere. Keep up the wonderful work!
