Wikipedia Description WIKIPEDIA
Look Outside is a survival horror role-playing game (RPG) set inside an apartment building as a worldwide phenomenon outside begins transforming those who observe it into grotesque monsters. The event is scheduled to pass in fifteen in-game days. In this time, the player takes the role of an uneasy-looking, solitary man named Sam, exploring the structure's halls, interacting with other characters, fighting enemies, and scavenging for supplies as they additionally manage Sam's well-being. Sam can sleep, cook, shower, craft, and engage in various other activities in his apartment that pass the time; certain actions will help to manage stats such as hunger and hygiene, which may cause negative effects if neglected, though items like cookable food and hygiene products are limited in supply. Sam may receive random knocks at his door that he may choose to answer, leading to numerous outcomes. Outside his apartment, Sam can explore other areas of the residential building, allowing him to find weapons, supplies, and various items. He may encounter hostile and friendly transformed beings. Friendly creatures, as well as other normal humans, can be interacted with, and some may request help; hostile creatures commonly must be either fought or avoided. Certain actions, such as killing enemies and stealing items, may cause Sam to experience guilt. While outside the apartment, time only passes when exploring new areas, with time passage accompanied by a rising danger level that makes the building more perilous but rewards the player with more experience points upon returning home at high levels. Multiple locations outside of Sam's apartment exhibit impossible, non-Euclidean architecture. General gameplay features a top-down perspective, but for combat, Look Outside adopts turn-based RPG mechanics similar to EarthBound, also including a weapon durability system, wherein as a character uses a weapon to attack, they have a chance to damage or break it. This chance increases when performing more powerful special attacks, with different types of special attacks being available depending on the weapon used. Look Outside additionally features an enemy distance mechanic, where opponents in a battle may start far away and somewhat obscured, revealing the true extent of their form as they approach, acting as a potential jump scare to the player. For its difficulty, the game offers an easy mode and a normal mode, with easy mode making resources more abundant and allowing the player to save whenever they enter a room for the first time; normal mode only allows the player to save inside their apartment, and only when the danger level has reached a certain threshold, encouraging the player to keep exploring more new areas. After beating the game once, a third mode is added, titled "Cursed Mode." This mode is much harder, also including some new enemies.
