About Walkabout

Walkabout is a realistic digital twin of the Cockle Creek region in southern Tasmania, recreated using real‑world data with the goal of recreating a real place as faithfully as possible.Cockle Creek is the southernmost drivable point in Australia. It is remote and quiet, surrounded by pristine beaches and dense rainforests, with unforgiving weather. It is a beautiful place and a harsh one. That makes it an ideal setting for a realistic survival experience.The environment is your story.Good luck staying alive.Walkabout was built with accuracy to real life in mind. The following features were created using real‑world data and hand‑crafted reconstruction to match the Cockle Creek region as closely as possible:
  • Actual heightmap data used for the base landscape.
  • Accurate time and date simulation using the correct time zone and calendar.
  • Dynamic lighting based on real‑world intensity, exposure, and colour temperature values.
  • True sun position calculated from global coordinates, date, and time.
  • Seasonally‑influenced dynamic weather reflecting southern Tasmanian conditions.
  • Realistic ocean tides simulated using data from the Cockle Creek area.
  • Accurate Earth rotation represented in the sky system.
  • Hand‑sculpted rivers matching their real‑world paths.
  • Roads, walking trails, driveways, and 4WD tracks shaped to match their real‑world locations.
  • Native flora representing approximately 80% of the vegetation.
  • Native fauna representing 100% of the wildlife.
Additionally, Walkabout currently features:
  • Customisable UI colouring.
  • Full gamepad controller support with customisable keybinds.
  • Customisable keybinds for mouse and keyboard.
  • Language support for 15 different languages.
Walkabout takes place in a 7 km × 7 km recreation of a real Australian location. It’s a quiet, atmospheric survival experience where you explore the land, gather what you need, and try to stay alive in a place that doesn’t care whether you make it or not.The wildlife won’t always warn you, the weather can turn without notice, and shelter becomes essential. You’ll build, craft, forage, and hunt iconic Australian animals when you need to. Survival depends on paying attention to your surroundings.Wafflesoft is an independent Australian studio, and Walkabout is a solo project. This is my first game, built from the ground up with a focus on accuracy, atmosphere, and long‑term craft.Maintaining independence allows me the creative freedom to make decisions purely to serve the best interest of Walkabout. Every part of Walkabout exists because it feels right for the experience I’m trying to create.

When I first saw this game on sale, I copped it as a joke as I thought it would be funny. However, Playing this has led me to the conclusion that the game isn't THAT bad. Sure, it's not finished and all, but the idea is there and it's not bad. I feel like if the developer actually worked on the game and adjusted the HUD, the map, the icons, etc etc, the game wouldn't be that bad. Another thing I'd like to see about this game is a story. The store page description tells you that you have to build something, but what if there was a story behind it all, a story behind why the rednecks want to kill you, etc. etc. Honestly though, I've been kind of playing this on and off, and I'm actually enjoying it. If the developer made the map look and feel like the Australian outback and maybe changed the HUD and icons first, as well as some of the animations, I could definitely be encouraged to play this game more. I'm not entirely sure when the last update came out or if the developer has abandoned this game or something, but if you are reading this, work at this game when you can! I know times are tough right now and stuff, so it's not like I expect something massive to come out soon or wh…

I really wanted to give this game a higher approval. Sadly on my scale of 1-10 I can only give it a 2 and that was for the effort and the risk of putting something out. The LAG kills this game and where that memory leak is who knows. Even dropping the Graphic quality did not assist in the LAG issues. I am sorry but I really so hope that you are able to fix the problems. I would love to come back to a better game. Good luck I wish to you from the bottom of my Gaming heart.

The game is pretty much an asset flip with a bit of tinkering, but that tinkering is just the dev getting his aesthetic into the game rather than improving the short falls of the base asset kit or trying to improve the overall product. I picked this up when it was for $1 and that's about all it should be worth if not free to play, now I am reading comments about the dev not having enough time etc... none of the changes to the system really take that much time to do, and as an aussie solo hobbyist dev myself it's easy to spot what has and has not been done on this title. I'd suggest picking it up for a laugh at aussie culture, but there isn't any aussie culture in it, nor is there really any gameplay other than a hollow shell of a survival system, so don't expect to be off making some classy mansion with electronics throughout, you're better off getting rust.

Love the graphics (Seen in other's Game Play), however, I found it way too laggy and all movements disjointed for my ROG Gaming machine. If you don't have a grunty Graphics card then you won't be able to play this game, which is a real shame as there aren't enough Aussie & Southern Hemisphere themed games. Time to upgrade my graphics card I think.

Last update was 9 months ago, and this is far far away from being finished. Unless development ramps up, this is certainly going to be abandoned (or at the very least, it won't see full release before I'm dead.)
