Will full version be released on itch ion? I do not have steam profile.
Please tell me you are going to release a physical edition with the soundtrack
Episode 2 and still having fun. Really dont trust that eye in the wall but we cool for now lol
This is a great game, yes, I have never felt this familiar.
I will buy this game and keep it forever.
This game is full of fear, distortion, but also contains some warmth, self-sacrifice and betrayal.
Maybe my own experience is the same as some of the background of the game, some PTSD has been haunting my nightmares, and some monsters feel very familiar to me... as if I have seen them before.
Maybe it's the disability of my right hand and the damage to my teeth... and my experience in the army.
Some settings in the game seem to have been seen in my childhood... For example:
Brushing teeth and taking a bath are similar to: Dark Gu
Some mutations are like: Resident Evil GBC and NES Sweet Home.
The mutation of infected people reminds me of THE THING
And some things seem very novel... For example, I feel the feeling of Undertale and Megan and the Monster.
The chasing aspect reminds me of Doraemon + Resident Evil, a work produced by AAAA.
If possible, I would like to see a nightmare school, at least one level that can make people experience the most twisted period of childhood, the injustice, fall and violence suffered in school, and the teacher who is a clown.
BUG (possible)
The monster that appears when the lights are turned off, it is resurrected.
I lost my arm, but I still brush my teeth with two healthy arms.
BGM error (already fixed)
I want to improve:
A possible strategy hint (that is, the internal NPC suggestion), I don’t know if I can save my arm and save the rat BABY at the same time. How to chase the head NPC...
I can’t be sure of the existence of some bosses. Sometimes, the boss is not more obvious than the elite enemy, which leads to me entering the battle without preparation and causing the game to fail. (For example, the hell taxi, I thought the police car was the boss of this level.)
A PTSD level with a horror theme in the school.
A quick return home prop (the military PTSD level is a bit difficult, I wasted three days... I got lost.)
A monster encyclopedia hut and NPC introduction. I want to re-watch a few monsters. I have to say that your pixel drawings are very detailed.
Gave the Steam version a Let's Play, unsure if this store page will get updated to also have the full version eventually, but am glad to see the game launching to a great start, I get to see the before/after and re-enjoy the game :P
congrats on the game. it was extremly on onnthe demo but now on steam. you rock for making such a epic game like lisa the painful.
just nabed the game and soudn tracl. thanks for the epic new gem of a game to enjoy.
Love the art style, the cool characters, the story. Overall I'm having a great time so far. Keep up the good work
Why cant i buy the full version here?
How about the itch.io full release? :D
Im pretty sure I've played through everything I can in the current version, and I still love it!! All the enemies are super cool, and it kept me hooked! I even played it class a few times bc i am super obsessed!! I am so excited for future updates and new content! I honestly declare myself the #1 fan of this game.
I finally was able to get this game two days ago, and I LOVE IT!!!
A bug I found though is that after I killed whatever was lurking the hallways on floor 1, the audio cue would still play when I got near where I killed it.
Another bug I found is that after I killed the monster in the telescope room and re-entered the room later, he'd come and turn the light off again, even though he's dead.
Also, a good bit of the doors flash the flesh covered door when opened.
omg this is actually the best horror game i played in my life, i simply love the soundratck and the art.
Anyway,game is awesome,i loved these Lovecraftian looking monsters,great soundtrack and art style,also,i liked that all characters is different,pretty a lot of items,you can use as weapon or defense,overall,one of the best horror-cosmic-lovecraftian games i played recently,i can't figure out how to finish it,but i enjoyed playing it,and i putting it 5\5
Am i ruined the game,or it supposed to be like that? Cuz i did all offerings,got a key to the roof,but i can't get there,cuz there is written that "roof is off-limits due the development of the game"
am i ruined the game? why not just say r i ruin game lmao.. that means the game isn't finished yet hence the note up above saying (Note: Once you reach the apartment buildings' ground floor, you have seen most of the games' current content. There is a bit more to see if you keep exploring, but it becomes more sparse after that.)
love love this game cant get enough
It's a really scary horror and intresting game. Nice job. You choosed a right way for this project.
Awesome color palette! Can't wait for the full release
Oh my God, this game is such a gem, I truly can't believe there is this much content and it's all from just one person, hats off to you Frankie. I did notice a few minor bugs, but nothing too game-breaking, can't wait for the full release!
When the baby rat will be a pj?
And how he'll looks in the future?
Amazing games, but I think I found some bugs in the latest version (30d):
The Masked Monster no longer appears
The Hand Monster doesn't appear in the Ground Floor Lobby anymore.
Nestor's Head disappears inside the Smiling Lady's room after chasing it down same goes for all his body parts. (I don't know if we're supposed to be able to catch him or not but I assume this is necessary to obtain the first Astronomer's offering)
When will this be finished? I played through a few versions ago and am excited for the end product
This game just keeps getting more interesting, I can't wait for it to be completed!
I love fear and hunger and as this seems to also be made with RPGmaker, I'm very interested already!
Absolutely excellent game. I've played for more than eight hours at this point, and I was never expecting to have this much fun. The story is honestly really interesting, the pixel art looks amazing and has great style, and the concept and environment had me completely hooked. The enemy designs are all extremely unique, and the horror design aspect of them is especially good. The game does an absolutely amazing job at introducing these horrors in suspenseful ways at the beginning of the game, and then brings out more unique ones as the game progresses to keep things from becoming bland. Plus the puzzles and gameplay you complete to progress to the end, is absolutely amazing. Finding and creating these four different logs of the phenomena was extremely fun, and I liked that you had to logically avoid looking at any of these logs for the sake of preventing your doom. Now I do have to say, it is very unfinished at this point, and I was pretty disappointed that I couldn't see any ending, especially since I had been absolutely sure I had all four correct items, which was really satisfying to finally achieve, but it's completely understandable considering that this game literally has only been in development for four short months. I mean, it is absolutely nuts that you have managed to create a game that left me hooked and having fun for days in just a few months. Bravo. Of course there's a bunch of other unfinished stuff, and a ton of glitches, but I still had a lot of fun, and every glitch and unfinished mechanic was forgiven in mind of its extraordinarily short development time. I'll be anxiously awaiting to buy a full release! (take your time tho devs, don't overwork yourselves)
So something that I have an issue with how things like Grimy or Restless work, and im not sure if it's just me, but it seems like no matter what I do, they don't go away.
First, Restless came, being bored of things and lowering EXP gain, which was fine, because to cure this mood, i needed to explore uncharted places or play games {or so it said}. But that didn't go away, even after exploring new areas, the bored remark never vanished. I'm not sure if that's intentional
Bad Breath followed, and didn't seem to go away even after brush your teeth with toothpaste, and mint gum doesn't help either because it couldn't even be used despite it being used for bad breath.
Then Grimy/smelly came, which I found most strange because I normally always have the character shower, and I have soap to make it more effective.
They personally arn't really all that game ruining because I still played a good portion of the game with them around, but I feel like that isin't supposed to happen, is it just something with me specifically? {I like the game a lot}
The game is and looks absolutely amazing really enjoying the game definitely gonna play more
Part 2
Part 3
I love it. The vibe, the feeling and honestly... the main character design from the side look reminds me of Habbo Hotel for some reason
Coffee machine doesn't work 😔
(Apart from that, the game is amazing, I hope the update is soon)
Guys i got kinda lost here, where do i go after giving the four thingies tho the astronomers?
You must have skipped the dialogue - the man literally gives you a robe and a roof key, telling you to go up to the roof for the ritual. HOWEVER - since the game is still being developed, you cannot access this area yet :) the game is only being made since 4 months and the dev is still adding stuff regularly.
Thank you so much, yeah i didn't remmember reading this part - excited for the more, the game is great.
Any of yall experience this 😐
Question, what emulator are ya using, and how can i play this?
there is no emulator and you just download it where it says download at the top you download this or anything above it which would be a newer version..
LookOutsidev0_30d.zip327 MB
after you d/l it use Win Rar or win zip or whatever to unzip it and extract the folder by either clicking extract or drag the folder to your desktop or wherever you want it.
after that open the folder look for look game.exe click it and it plays.
Spooke :)
The game does not go fullscreen when I launch. How do I make it fullscreen?
f4
Hi bro, when you finish the game will it be free or paid? I'm loving the game every time I play it I like it even more! The game have an ending in this version or no?
I have questions on the game?
I see screenshots of people having Hellen without her mask, how do you do that? Also for the knocking event of the old lady looking for her child, does anyone where she’s located or is she not yet implemented in the current version?
Afaik with Hellen, it’s when she tries to play with the Rat Baby when you get it into your place.
As for the second one, I’m not sure if you’re referring to the same “mom”. But I explored almost everything but I still can’t find Sophie’s mom.
alhamd lilah ya sahi. alhamd lilhi. allah tayib ya rajulu. alhamd lilhi. allah 'akbaru.

Looking for.
