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 Kiss Everyone (except Lyle) run.
