Description

Look Outside is a survival horror RPG set in a single apartment building. A mysterious event turns anyone who looks out the window into grotesque monsters, leaving the world in absolute chaos. Scavenge the building to seek food, supplies, and weapons while encountering strange characters - human and otherwise.

Survival Horror & Resource Management

Plan tense expeditions outside your apartment as you fend off grotesque monsters dwelling in and around your building. Return to your home with gathered resources and partial answers to your questions to recuperate by playing games, making dinner, crafting tools, and getting to know your neighbors turned allies.

Inventive Turn-Based Combat

Clash with over 150 hand-crafted creatures in turn-based combat that accounts for space between you and your foes as you wield makeshift weapons and items you've gathered in the corridors of the building.

Impeccable Body Horror Aesthetic

Meet your macabre fate in a bizarre world teeming with an unconventional and occasionally psychotic cast of characters - some of which you can recruit and offer safe harbor in your apartment as the mystery unravels.

Small, Experimental, and Unwaveringly Weird

Offering 10 - 12 hours of playtime with a dozen boss encounters, friends to recruit, and visitors to invite back to your home, Look Outside offers different experiences for every player on their way to uncover several different endings.

One of the best games I've ever played. I haven't had this much fun in so long with a video game. Especially for a single player game. 110% recommend to anyone who wants something new to try and the best rpg game ever.

I would absolutely recommend this. It's creepy, it's fun, you can have any kind of experience you want- from looking outside to avoiding that entirely. It has a lot of replay value. You will not really have the same

This game initially caught my eye because of its cosmic horror premise, though I have to admit I expected it to be a bit less... fleshy. The core concept is cool: you have to figure out what on earth is happening

While I was really liking the game, I'll have to leave an unfavorable review because of losing my entire save in a power outage, and ultimately losing all the 15+ hours long progress I had made in my playthrough. I

This game is incredibly detailed and rich with its story and characters- I played it over and over again just to get different party members and see their interactions with one another and the things in the apartment

Look Outside is a great game! Horror-wise, I appreciate the fact that it doesn't have many jumpscares, but it's more cosmic-eldritch-body horror, with unsettling but really cool pixel art sprites and descriptions of
