Look Outside is a 2025 survival horror role-playing video game developed by Francis Coulombe and published by Devolver Digital. The game takes place in an apartment building as a strange phenomenon outside begins transforming those who observe it into grotesque monsters. The player controls a solitary man named Sam as he navigates the structure, exploring different areas, fighting enemies, interacting with other characters, and managing Sam's well-being.

Look Outside began as a game jam submission created in one month. After its initial release, the game received significant attention online, leading to developer Francis Coulombe working with others to turn the game into a full commercial product. Five months after the game jam, the full version of the game was simultaneously announced and released by video game publisher Devolver Digital. The game received generally favorable reviews from critics, who praised its monsters, atmosphere, and environments. The gameplay of Look Outside was received well by reviewers, but its difficulty received mixed opinions, being described as both hard and easy by different publications.
