Look Outside

Look Outside is a survival horror RPG developed by Francis Coulombe, set entirely within a single apartment building. The game’s most distinguishing feature is its Impeccable Body Horror Aesthetic, where a mysterious event transforms anyone who dares to look out the window into grotesque monsters. As players navigate this claustrophobic setting, they must scavenge for food, supplies, and weapons while interacting with an unusual cast of characters. With multiple endings and a 10-12 hour playtime, Look Outside promises varied experiences as players unravel its mysteries.

Survival Horror and Resource Management

In Look Outside, players must plan strategic expeditions beyond their apartment to gather essential resources while avoiding grotesque monsters lurking throughout the building. Returning home with these resources allows players to recuperate by crafting tools, cooking meals, and forging alliances with neighbors who have become potential allies. This survival loop challenges players to manage limited resources carefully as they piece together the story behind the chaos.

Inventive Turn-Based Combat

Combat in Look Outside involves turn-based encounters with over 150 hand-crafted creatures, emphasizing the importance of spatial awareness. Players wield makeshift weapons and utilize items scavenged from the building’s corridors to fend off these threats. The game’s combat system rewards strategic thinking, as players must consider the space between themselves and their foes to gain the upper hand in battles.

Macabre Narrative and Character Interaction

The narrative in Look Outside unfolds through interactions with a psychotic and unconventional cast of characters. Players can recruit some of these characters, offering them refuge in their apartment. This adds depth to the story as players explore the building, each character contributing to the mystery unraveling. The game’s unique story allows players to experience different endings, depending on their choices and alliances.
