About He is Outside

You’re home alone at night when you’re jolted awake by a blaring news report. A dangerous maniac is on the loose, unstable, unpredictable, and already responsible for multiple murders in the area. Moments later, the power cuts out. Then you realize… you’re not alone. Someone is outside, and he’s looking for a way in.Your house is too remote to simply run away. He would catch you. Your only hope is to stay hidden and try to find another way to escape.“He is Outside” is a survival horror game where you must escape from a relentless serial killer invading your home. There are three possible escape routes, each requiring specific items that are randomly placed throughout the house. Every time the killer gets you, you wake up as if it were just a nightmare, only for it to begin again.

Features

A reactive, intelligent killerThe killer reacts dynamically to the environment. He becomes alerted by loud noises and footsteps, notices when doors or drawers have been opened or closed, responds to your flashlight, and even hears the sound of your breathing if you’re hiding in a closet.Dynamic escape routesSome escape routes can fail, since certain items are required for multiple paths. Using them for one escape may prevent another. If you’re not careful, the killer can also destroy essential objects, forcing you to adapt.Escape JournalYour journal keeps track of discovered escape routes and enemy behaviors. It shows possible escapes, which items each one requires, which items you’ve already placed, and which routes have failed. Enemy behaviors are only logged after you witness them. While this knowledge may not save you in the current run, it will carry over to the next, helping you progress further each time.Randomized item locationsThe items required for each escape route are randomly spawned, making every playthrough feel unique. Some spawn locations are inside rooms that must be unlocked first.Directional and floor-based sound designEnemy footsteps sound muffled when he’s in another room and change depending on whether he’s on a different floor, giving you vital audio cues for survival.PermadeathIf the killer catches you, the run ends and you start again from the beginning with new randomized item locations. Only your journal persists, preserving what you’ve learned.

The game experience is not the best; you need to repeatedly repeat the game to explore before you are killed again and again to restart from the beginning. not recommended. All the best to the creators.

reminds me of granny or hello neighbor. I like how it has a few mechanics like slowly closing and opening things but i wish there was more strategy for keeping him outside. You can lock the doors but it only slows him down. I think there can be a lot of improvements and once you understand how the killer works its not too hard to lose him. I would like to see more done with it it but overall i liked it.

i do love the concept of the game and did for the most part enjoy the game! i will say it hard to tell where he is in the house since the steps sound the same. there were also a fee times where it seemed he knew i was hiding even when i was holding my breathe. other than that i still enjoyed the game and its concept https://youtu.be/kDTr3xmkBoo?si=vvWdkWs5yS2P-d9h

Not very well known, but basically a granny or monstrum clone. It's not bad. The game needs some tweaks to make it easier to find the target, along with some other things (I dont wanna spoil too much). For the $5 USD it isnt bad, and I recommend supporting the dev(s?) for what its worth if you like granny-style escape room games.
