Release date set for Halloween

The horror RPG Look Outside is scheduled to launch on October 30, 2026, which is Halloween, and will be available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch 2, and Nintendo Switch.

Developer and publisher details

Developed by Quebec-based Francis Coulombe, the game was discovered by Devolver Digital, a publisher known for supporting indie games, which recently reached 500,000 copies sold in August of last year.

Gameplay and setting

Set inside a mysterious building, Look Outside features a unique mechanic where characters who look out the window risk transforming into grotesque monsters due to an unexplained phenomenon. The player must navigate the environment to find supplies and interact with other residents.

Game reception and features

The game has received 98% positive reviews on Steam, where it is priced at 10 euros. It is praised for its finely crafted writing, claustrophobic music by Eric Shumaker, and a sense of unease that keeps players engaged.

Target audience and style

Look Outside is described by its creator as a "small experimental game" and is recommended for players who enjoy retro pixel art and horror themes, though it may not appeal to those who are not sensitive to its charm.
