In the vast landscape of the video game industry, few modest titles manage to capture the attention of such a dedicated group as Look Outside has. This survival-horror RPG, developed by Francis Coulombe and published by the prestigious Devolver Digital, has impressed players thanks to its intriguing narrative, indescribable creatures, and turn-based combat mechanics.
A survival horror made in RPG Maker
The game places the protagonist in a peculiar apartment building, where a sinister phenomenon transforms anyone who looks out the window into a monster. This unique premise forces the player to embark on expeditions through the complex while facing up to 150 uniquely handcrafted creatures, representing a constant threat to their survival. Each encounter provides resources that can be used to upgrade tools or create weapons, adding a strategic layer to the gaming experience.
Available on Steam at an attractive price of 9.99 euros, Look Outside offers between 10 and 12 hours of gameplay, an ideal duration for those seeking a deep horror adventure without a long time investment. The reception has been overwhelmingly positive, recording a 99% rating of ‘Extremely Positive’ among more than 800 users. This early recognition may indicate that we are facing a gem of the genre that could solidify the position of Coulombe and Devolver Digital in the hearts of horror gamers.
With the backing of the distributor, known for launching creative titles like Inscryption and Loop Hero, Look Outside has the potential to become a benchmark within the genre, gaining followers for its originality and depth. As players continue to explore its dark corners, the title promises to gradually unveil the secrets surrounding this unsettling transformation of reality.
