The Outskirts

The Outskirts is an exploration game about escaping an endlessly repeating neighborhood. Its streets loop back on themselves, and you must pay close attention to find a way out.

Observe the streets

At each intersection, inspect the neighborhood and choose which of four branching roads is safe. If a street feels wrong, turn back immediately and try another direction. A correct choice moves time forward; a wrong one resets the loop to midnight.

Reach the morning

Navigate the intersection successfully 10 times to move the night toward dawn and break the loop. The neighborhood contains over 40 anomalies, from subtle misplaced objects to unnatural changes in its structures. Its retro, PSX-inspired visuals use low-poly geometry, dithered lighting and atmospheric fog, while the exploration challenges your observation and memory.
