Look Outside is a survival horror RPG where you absolutely should not look outside

A man turns away from an open window while monsters gather in the dark.

Look Outside is like football in that it's a game of two halves. And in absolutely no other way is it like football, because this is a survival horror RPG about being trapped in an apartment building where your neighbors have been transformed into Cronenberg-esque monsters that are about 90% eyeballs and teeth by weight.

One half of Look Outside has you exploring the warped building you live in, fighting strange creatures and gathering supplies. An inexplicable astrological phenomenon means that anyone who looks at the sky either dies instantly or is twisted into something dangerous, and many of your fellow apartment-dwellers have already succumbed. These Junji Ito nightmares attack with knives and bonus mouths. You fight them initially with a baseball bat, but later with a whole host of scrounged weapons, in Earthbound-style turn-based battles.
