Look Outside

i think this is one of my new favorite examples of good cosmic/eldritch horror, throughout the game you never truly know how bad things are outside but when you get to the end it's like "oh... we never had a chance to begin with, did we?" one thing i really appreciate is how this game treats grotesque monsters, in the entire game i there's only a handful of characters that are truly evil while the rest are either scared animals attacking in self defense or people who are really confused and paranoid, plus a good chunk of them are like "yeah i transformed into a huge hideous monster, honestly it's not that bad" which i think is a fun twist on the whole concept overall really solid game, i don't play rpg maker games that often since the battles tend to be the same but this one was actually pretty fun, the art and music is amazing as well

A great game, but one terrible design decision completely ruins the experience for me: the developers only allow you to save at certain intervals based on how much of the game world you’ve explored. I’m the kind of player who reads every dialogue and likes to take my time thinking about it. But here, I’m constantly forced to scroll through the same dialogues over and over again after death. It completely breaks the atmosphere and makes it much harder to get immersed in the game. I really enjoyed what I played, but I won’t be continuing specifically because of this mechanic. It’s a shame, because otherwise this is a fantastic game. The worst part is that the only way to get the ability to save anytime is to lower the difficulty to the easiest setting. But then the game offers virtually no resistance: you get way too many resources, while the enemies are far too weak. So you’re essentially forced to choose between a frustrating save system and a difficulty level that removes most of the challenge.
