Look Outside's April 1 update that let you kiss enemies is now a permanent 'smooch mode'
For April Fools' Day, the developer of Look Outside released an update that added a new option to your interactions with NPCs: kissing. Instead of just fighting or talking to enemies and surviving neighbors in the cursed apartment building, you could give 'em a smooch. Their dialogue and sprites were updated accordingly, too. Cue stammering eldritch horrors with bright red blushing cheeks. April Fools' Day is (thankfully) over now, but there's good news for anyone who has been enjoying the lovefest or didn't get a chance to try it. Developer Francis Coulombe has built in a way for players to access "smooch mode" going forward. "If you started a game on April 1st and kissed the wounded neighbor, that save file is now permanently in smooch mode!" Coulombe posted on social media. "You can also activate smooch mode on a new save file by naming Sam 'Casanova'." I immediately started a new save to confirm and, yes, doing this does indeed allow you to go on a kissing spree. While you can't smooch every single person/abomination you'll run into, you sure can kiss a lot of them. Want to kiss the Rat King? Go wild. Pierre? Yup. That weird bug guy in the basement who eats bandages? Unfortunately yes, he's kissable too. This truly is the game that keeps on giving. We're apparently getting a real, non-silly update in the near-future as well, so Look Outside fans are eatin' good. Now, please excuse me while I get back to my
For April Fools' Day, the developer of Look Outside, a game set in a cursed apartment building, introduced an update that allowed players to kiss non-player characters (NPCs). This playful addition provided an alternative to the usual options of fighting or talking to enemies and surviving neighbors. The NPCs' dialogue and sprites were updated to reflect the new interaction, with some characters blushing bright red as they stammered through their lines.
April Fools' Day has since passed, but the developer, Francis Coulombe, has ensured that the "smooch mode" remains a permanent feature for those who enjoyed it. Players who started a game on April 1st and kissed the wounded neighbor have save files that are now permanently in smooch mode. Coulombe shared this news on social media, adding that new save files can also be activated in smooch mode by naming the character Sam "Casanova."
Testing this feature, it's clear that players can indeed go on a kissing spree, though not every NPC can be smooched. However, a significant number of characters, including the Rat King, Pierre, and the bug who eats bandages, are now kissable. This unexpected and whimsical addition to the game has undoubtedly added a new layer of fun for fans.
In addition to the permanent smooch mode, Look Outside developers have announced an upcoming real, non-silly update, which is great news for the game's community. Fans of the game are eagerly anticipating further developments, and the recent April Fools' Day update has shown that the game continues to surprise and delight players with its unique sense of humor and creativity.
For those who missed the original April 1st update or simply want to relive the experience, activating smooch mode is a simple process. Naming Sam "Casanova" in a new save file grants access to this delightful feature, allowing players to kiss a variety of NPCs. While some may find the Rat King or the bandage-eating bug unappealing, the option to smooch them adds a unique and humorous twist to the game.
Look Outside has proven to be a game that keeps players engaged with its creative and unexpected updates. The permanent smooch mode is a testament to the developer's commitment to providing enjoyable and memorable experiences for players. As the game continues to evolve with new content, fans can look forward to more surprises and adventures in the cursed apartment building.
