Survival Horror RPG Look Outside on PS/Switch [Trailer]
Step outside your window and watch the world descend into pandemonium. This is the unsettling premise of Look Outside, the acclaimed pixel-based survival horror RPG developed by Francis Coulombe and published by Devolver Digital.
Set within the confines of a single, ominous apartment building, the game throws players directly into a state of absolute chaos. The mystery hinges on a horrifying reality: anyone who dares to look out their window is transformed into grotesque monsters, plunging the world into unprecedented turmoil.
Survival in this surreal nightmare demands more than just running; it requires careful planning. Players must venture through their apartment complex to scavenge essential food, supplies, and weapons while simultaneously confronting the bizarre characters—both human and monstrous—that now inhabit their shared space.
The core loop of Look Outside is one of strategic evasion and resource management. Players must meticulously plan their scavenging runs, prepare defenses against the monstrous inhabitants lurking within and around their building, and piece together fragmented answers to the unfolding horror.
But survival isn’t just about combat. The game encourages players to engage with their environment and the strange characters they encounter. Players can recuperate by delving into gameplay, cooking meals, crafting essential tools, and forging unexpected alliances with their neighbors who have, too, become allies in the chaos.
Devolver Digital and Francis Coulombe have made this unique survival horror experience accessible to a wide audience. Look Outside is now available on multiple platforms, allowing players to dive into the madness wherever they choose. The game is available on the PlayStation 5, the Nintendo Switch 2, the PlayStation 4, and the Nintendo Switch.
The game made a strong debut, featured prominently in early coverage from Bloody Disgusting!, signaling its immediate impact on the survival horror genre.
