Focus on your task and take to the road.
Every minute of focus is 83 metres down the road.
The focus timer that turns into an RPG. While you study or work, you cross roads, fulfil contracts and make a name for yourself in your Guild.
HOW IT WORKS
Every task becomes a journey.
Accept a contract
Contracts reach your Guild every day, from people in the seven towns on the map. Each one is a trip, with a destination, a distance and a fee.
Write your task and set off
Say what you are really going to do and start the timer: 25 minutes a journey, or as long as you like. Every minute of focus is a stretch of road.
Reach your destination
When you arrive, the contract is fulfilled: you get paid, gain prestige, and whoever asked trusts you more. And your task? It got done along the way.

Seven towns and the roads between them.
Every contract comes from someone who lives in these towns. The more you fulfil, the more they trust you, and with prestige, more important clients come looking for you.
So far, Outhkeep’s wanderers add up to 0 hours of focus and 0 km of road.
THE GUILDS
Four Guilds. Choose yours.
Each Guild has its craft, its leader and its clients. Join one and their contracts reach your hands, a new one each day.
Tap a symbol to meet its Guild.
Hunters
They slay the beasts that threaten roads and villages, and whatever comes out when the lantern goes dark. No prey escapes. Officially.
- Slaying beasts
Rogues
They recover what was lost, stolen or "forgotten" in other people's vaults. Always within the law. Unless you don't pay enough.
- Stealing valuables
- Stealing documents
- Discreet eliminations
Alchemists
They brew remedies and study the curses the Church would rather not discuss. They cure almost any ailment. They usually also charge to treat the side effects.
- Remedies and potions
- Spells, rituals and wards
- Astrological charts
Chroniclers
They keep the archives and carry the messages that must not be lost. They know more about the kingdom than any king. And they charge dearly to forget.
- Maps
- Records and transcriptions
THE WANDERER
Who you are on the road.
Human or elf, skin tone, hairstyle and hair colour: you choose how you look. Along the way you wear cloaks and hats, and fill your backpack with what you find or buy.
With comfort, the road goes further.
Eat, rest, wear a cloak and drink infusions. At the workbench, the ingredients in your backpack become food and more.
THE CAST
Who knocks on the Guilds’ doors.
Barons, shepherdesses, bishops and merchants: every contract comes from someone with a name, a face and quirks of their own. Do what they ask and they come to trust you.

THE MERCHANTS
A merchant in every town.
