New Update for ‘Look Outside’ Brings Exciting Changes to This Cosmic Horror RPG

Imagine stepping outside only to find the sky has turned into a scene straight out of a cosmic horror flick! That’s the current vibe in the game ‘Look Outside,’ where the authorities have promised to fix the chaos in just 15 days. Whatever the fix may be — maybe a simple restart? — until then, you’re holed up in your apartment, baseball bat in hand, and video games by your side.

But hey, that apartment isn’t going to explore itself! As you wander through the building, strange encounters await. Your neighbors might just knock at your door or even slither in, having ignored the warnings about what lies outside. This game takes the essence of a cosmic horror RPG and mixes it with some classic elements reminiscent of titles like Yume Nikki and Earthbound. With menu-based combat and a plethora of surprising interactions, ‘Look Outside’ is a must-try for any RPG enthusiast.

Since its unexpected launch last year, ‘Look Outside’ has been consistently updated, with version 2.3 now live. This patch comes packed with a ton of balance adjustments that aim to enhance your gameplay experience. For instance, the quirky “Copy Dad ability” of the rat child will no longer let you exploit gun skills for free. And while Col Squeakums’ bites used to have a chance of disrupting sleep or charm effects, that’s now been dialed back.

The update also brings improvements to several enemies, including the likes of Shrimp Knight, the Shark, and Monty’s pyromania skill, which now deals less damage to your party compared to foes. A win for team survival, right?

Now, while some of the patch notes might delve into spoiler territory, it’s exciting to see an indie gem like ‘Look Outside’ receive ongoing support. If you’re still on the fence, keep in mind that the game was co-written by the talented CBoyardee, known for his work on ‘Barkley, Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden.’ Intrigued yet? You can hop into ‘Look Outside’ on both Steam and GOG.
