Our take on Outside
The store foregrounds survival, pursuit, and the maniac's history, but the current version is framed around one single-player scenario in the woods. The broader promise of opening different locations therefore rests on a narrow initial setup.
What is Outside?
Outside is a first-person survival horror game set in the woods.
In the early version, play is limited to single-player mode, with a young girl mysteriously lost deep in the forest. A maniac who has lived there for a long time follows her and knows the area better than she does. Survival is the central objective, while investigating the man's origins reveals a possible path to freedom. Progress opens additional parts of the woods, with locations differing between players. The game focuses on surviving the pursuit, learning the maniac's history, and moving through an expanding forest setting.
How Outside plays
