Look Outside - Ways to Die (as of v0.29b)

A number of ways you can meet a terrible end by either looking outside, getting a little too friendly with a shady character, or trying to find a loophole to seeing what's outside without actually looking. The game over with the giant eyeball is only present in older versions (as it's being reworked) but I included it for the sake of noting what did exist (currently it just immediately goes to the game over screen).

I think these are currently the only instant game over ones so far from what I've tried. I suspect the spore creatures might be a game over in a future update or getting access to the roof. I'm also not sure if the cursed painting can kill you yet as you can only move it in the carry bag and there doesn't appear to be a way to light up the room or otherwise view it.

Note that any variant of walking inside Shady or looking at the picture when you develop it gives the same deaths (other than the first choice to look at the developing photo which just makes you feel ill). You can only access the dark room if you kill Lyle otherwise he'll develop the photograph for you which doesn't let you peep at it.

If I did miss something do let me know and I'll be sure to include it with the next big update!

"How much can we clarify that you can't look outside in any way possible, no matter how clever you think you can? How about we make it gruesome."

"GOT DAMN! Look at that baddie! Don't make it obvious bro!"

You know, if it weren't for the endless agonizing pain, going into the darkness sounds like a pretty sweet deal.

Unironically love that, no matter how hard you try, you can't ever safely look at the entity outside.

The fact that even photos could get you killed is just terrifying. You can't know what it looks like PERIOD.

Cartoon eyes popping out joke aside...that is a HORRIFYING way to die. Your insides are basically sucked out through your eyes and mouth....

I love how everyone’s experience with looking outside is so varied but when we do it it’s always getting drank like a capri sun

I cackled to my self as I turned on the projector "man I'm so gonna die" and I was right

Problem would easily be solved if they wore cool sunglasses

[Kids_Scissors]

to be fair you told him "just a peek" that mf still pulled the curtains wide open

[chaosinc.]

Ok for heaven's sake, I'll just keep my eyes and ears pointed down! Whatever is out there clearly is bad for my personal health...

1:47 3:35 That sound design is absolutely REVOLTING in a good way omg, I love it when horror games use sound to make the visual you imagine while reading the text that much more disturbing 😭

From what I've seen, the thing outside effects everyone differently, similar to the Bird Box monster. From the teeth to the eyes to the giant hand and so forth. Your main character straight up gets their insides out, then their outsides going with them.

"just a peek" nah bro thats a whole stare

0:12 see it's not so bad it's so much worse! Scary super effective

[nimblebrock]

Bruh, the most messed up thing is that some can rush you with a picture of the outside and show it to you with no time to react. Also, what's crazy is that it also affects animals. It can turn a rat into a giant monster rat the size of a polar bear. So imagine what a bear would look like if it looked outside. Plus, it's been a while since i've seen a good horror pixel game. I know someone is gonna say Fear and Hunger, but that's mostly combat focused, not so much into horror. I mean old pixel horror games like Mad Father and The Witch's House.

Being absorbed by White Mask and transformed by the photo are the worse fates for Sam.
