Developed by indie creator Francis Coulombe and published by Devolver Digital, the game combines survival horror and turn-based RPG mechanics in a retro-inspired setting.

  • 'Look Outside' challenges players to survive 14 in-game days in an apartment building plagued by an astrological phenomenon that turns residents into grotesque monsters.
  • The gameplay blends survival mechanics, such as scavenging and crafting, with turn-based combat inspired by classic RPGs like Earthbound.
  • The game features pixel art graphics and grotesque monster designs reminiscent of RPG Maker horror games, emphasizing retro aesthetics.
  • Players encounter a mix of friendly and hostile monsters, with the option to interact or fight, adding moral complexity to survival decisions.
  • Originally a smaller project on itch.io, 'Look Outside' has been expanded into a full-length RPG and is now available on Steam for $10.
