The first thing I do in Look Outside is follow instructions. Clicking the window in my dingy, pixelated bedroom and pulling back the curtains – at the behest of a literal eyeball peeking out from the wall, no less – was never going to be a good idea. But if I was going to play a survival horror RPG, I felt it wise to know my enemy...
One of the most intriguing (and horrifying) new games of 2025, Look Outside is an eerie point & click adventure that has grabbed indie horror fans by the molars and refuses to let go. The solodev project from Francis Coulombe is equal measures scary and funny, riffing off the best survival horror games and pixel role-playing games like Stardew Valley to deliver an off-kilter scare-'em-up you won't soon forget.
