There's a new horror game✃ quietly making waves on Steam with ranking it among the top of several very different gen𝓰res.
Scanning player and critic reviews for new indie RPG , you might be wondering how it's possible for an independent g෴ame released completely out of the blue to draw comparisons to some of the finest games ever released in at least three different genres, and I'll be real with you, I'm very curious myself. So curious that, in researching this story, I pulled the trigger and added it to my Steam library and plan on digging into it this weekend.
The premise for Look Outside is horrifying and ಞdeliciously simple: Taking place in a single apartment building, a mysterious plague turns everyone who looks out of the window into one of 150 hand-crafted Lovecraftian abominations with eyes where they shouldn't be and gleeful expressions that sometimes belie serious wounds to their bodies. As the recklessly brave person you are, you take it upon yourself to leave the safety of your locked apꦐartment room and explore the building for food, supplies, weapons, and hopefully, clues to what the hell is going on.
When you've returned to your private dwellings, you've entered the saferoom where you can review found materials and "recuperate by playing games, making dinner, crafting tools, and getting to know your neighbors tu🐷rned allies."
Yes, Look Outside gives you the chance to recruit some of the creatures you find to follow you around and fight alongside you like some sort of grotesque Pokemon. You'll also be able to use items you've found and assemble makeshift weapons to defend yourself in turn-based battles a꧋cross the game's rough🌱ly 10-12 hour campaign, which is such a sweet spot in today's overcrowded gaming landscape.
If nothing else, I just need to see how a game can invoke comparisons🌱 to Lovecraft, Undertale, Omori, Silent Hill, Fear & Hunger, Junji Ito, Lisa, and Earthbound, and not wind up a disjointed, tangled mess. It's an early Halloween in the Gerblick house, gang.
The debut project from indie developer Francis Coulombe, Looಞk Outside is only on Steam ri🌱ght now.
Only time will tell if it truly deserves a spot on our list of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best horror games.
After earning a♏n English degree from ASU, I worked as a corporate copy editor while freelancing for places like SFX Magazine, Screen Rant, Game Revolution, and MMORPG on the side. I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
