Look outside This is a horror with teeth – literally: they break through the skin of my neighbors and mycelium on everything that is too close. Look outside It was originally released on March 21, and the game consistently flowed at the top of my social channels, when people are delighted with the terror of this story.
IN Look outsideI play as alone, a normal guy who is between work and the rear of rent. These fears quickly become irrelevant as a cosmic being known as a guest, passes the earth, corruption and twisting all who look at it. There is only one solution: don’t look outside. No, it doesn’t matter how much the silver glow of the moon calls to you or how sweet your neighbors. Do not look outside. Do not look at the photos, do not look at reflection, do not try to look at the guest.
With this premise, Look outside He is able to boast of one of the main strengths: Body Horror. Looking at the guest has immediate and unusual effects, all of which seem extremely unpleasant. One penniless guy throws himself towards you, in pain, and before you can lend a hand him, he finds a better solution: carving himself with a knife when his eyes exploded, shining murky and rolling in his torso. The family is overtaken by a terrible case of versatile teeth, and you will come across an 8-year-old son, feverishly brushed before his face falls into a mess from the shaft.
There are plenty of monsters and mutants to find, and the creation project is the highest level. Look outside It is to look like RPG in a retro style, along with pixel art and a fight based on the tournament, but do not be fooled by the lack of graphic loyalty. There are scenarios in this game that persecute me a few weeks after their meeting. I will sleep, and especially the macabre monster drifts in my mind and suddenly I returned to wide indignation. There is a particularly nice detail in which many gigantic monsters stay backward, slowly developing during the fight and revealing their terrifying visits.
Despite the puzzle alone, there is lightweight at the end of the tunnel: the guest will pass in 15 days. To survive 15 days, he learns to cultivate through a residential building during the day. The arrival of the visitor has changed more than people; Somehow, even architecture is wrong. Known corridors are changed into incredibly winding paths. The bottom of the apartment has somehow expanded to the entire battlefield.
Entrepreneurial neighbors appear at night, seeking shelter or asking for trade. He can also take a shower, wash his teeth and play video games at night to boost your statistics and keep fit. He also has the amount of resources and he must carefully observe his weapon and provides so that it does not end in the middle of the fight. This adds an compelling game management aspect, and the rituals alone at night are only interrupted from time to time with the disturbing awareness that they are murdering other people in the building and plundering their things. All right, right? It’s probably fine.

All this could be overwhelming if it was not broken at times of radical kindness and compassion. Similarly UndertaleMany opponents do not want to fight and instead you can get him to a pacifist solution. In one game, allowing someone to shelter can lead to burning the whole apartment. In another one can lead to having a new member of his party. You can be concerned when you fall on a guy who seems to consist entirely of his hands, except for the eyes, but after talking to him, it turns out that he just wants to listen to sweet melodies. The mutation is not equal to morality and there are many moments when a player can express compassion or sadness for less happy people in the building.
(Of course, if you try it with the wrong monster, you can be murdered in this process. There is no one approach that works with each meeting).
During the year with the title AAA and masterfully made open worlds, a game that I admire so far Look outside. I think there are several management elements and I think you can reduce several parts of the game and end up with a stronger general product. But a horror game with this level of nuance and compassion for antagonistic enemies is rare, and the cosmic mystery in the heart of history is fascinating. As long as you have high tolerance to body horror and survival horror, Look outside It is a must.
