This was a really wonderful experience, thank you all so much for sharing this game! I often find it difficult to emotionally relate to portrayals of queer characters in media, but this game really resonated with me. From the characters, to the art, the music, the writing, to the ideas of uncertainty in knowing what you want, being vulnerable enough to learn and share with another, handling freedom from others - it all felt especially genuine and made me cry, and I really appreciate that it did lol. I’ll have to come back to this again soon, keep making great stuff!
This game was so cute, like ughhhh it's so good! If you're considering playing it, you really should - it's amazing, from story to world-building to art style and more ^O^
BEST GAME IV PLAYED ALL YEAR!!! My throat is struggling after hours of narrating this to my friend on call but it was sooo worth it to play this masterpiece of a game, might even replay to post on yt! < 33333 lots of love, a pardner
wow. I cannot describe how this game felt to me, everything was perfect, beautiful designs, art and colors, well written, awesome characters...truly a masterpiece, the story really touched my heart, I loved it. <33
this game makes me want to cry and I'm so grateful for it. I wish I had what joseph and robin have more than anything tbh. This is exactly what I needed today, i hope you guys know well that Lookouts, you guys, have done wonders for us. Happy Holidays, keep doing what you do, and keep your head up.<333
I am in love with this game. Honestly an emotional rollercoaster that has a good ending, I've literally never been so moved by a video game or any other piece of media now that I think about it, Throughout the whole game my heart melted over and over again, and I would love a sequel. <3
I made this account just to say that you may not ever see this comment but I loved this game to death while I was playing it and after finishing it I spent the next week sad that I'd never see these two again. Wonderful work and I will be inventing time travel to play for the first time again soon.
Stopped back in just to say I've also caught myself whistling the desert ambiance to myself multiple times now great work with the music for this game too
The most heart-willing game I've ever played. You feeling what is Robin feeling. The ending was... Sad. Why? Nothing bad happened to the Robin and Joseph. Why am I have a hard feeling in my chest? Why am I cried? Why I feel bad and sorry for them both? I have so many questions, that have no answers. The most I know, I'll don't delete this story. I don't experienced such a real feelings and emotions, as in this story. The best visual novell, i've played.
Lookouts is, and will forever be, a gem. A short, sweet, and heartwarming western story, told through the perspective of an outlaw. The art, although done with only one person, fit perfectly with the theme and characters, and the writing, also written by only one person, made it's players feel like Robin himself. And the music? perfectly fit in with the vibe of the game, and without it, the game would have felt much more hollow, especially in some scenes. The one thing that I think could make this game even better is more drawings of the characters. There were times where only moving the characters around didn't really feel natural, so it would be great if there were more drawings that depicted movement, and other things. In short, absolutely loved the story of the two gay outlaws, Robin and Joseph forever, and hopefully there will be a sequel. This game was one of the best visual novels that I have ever read, and I hope you, who I give thanks to for actually reading this entire comment/review, will think so too. <3
This was very heart-touching for me. I was in an experience of an emotional roller-coaster from sadness, happiness, excitement, whatever the fuck. I used my time this night to beat this and I was so happy i did. Made me cry not once, not twice, but literally 3 times. Or even more idek. I lost track. I loved this so much, I feel like playing it all over again. Id have to thank you for creating this masterpiece of a visual novel. The ending really touched my feelings.
(playing on web version) this is a really minor bug but if in vingt et un you have 2 aces in your hand and draw a ten/ face card you'll bust on 22 (despite the total being 12 if both aces are worth 1) great VN though and the bug doesn't really matter
I've played a fair few VNs but this one is by far my favourite, even compared to the ones with much bigger teams. I loved the music, artstyle (a LOT), the characters and everything. Hell, I even bought the gold edition and listen to the OST a bunch after finishing the game. Kinda hyperfixated on the game now, too <3
I started playing this game today and... I finished it. I really have no words to describe how much I liked it. I write this comment with tears in my eyes, what a beautiful game, what a beautiful story. Thank you so much for creating a game like this, I am sure that many more people will feel as comforted as I do when they play it. <3
so just started and I gotta say JOSEPH CAN GET IT‼️ I <3 JOSEPH‼️ JOSEPH IS BEST BOY‼️ anyhow, I having a lot of fun with this:3 can't wait to get the full storyline, but as I was writing this I realized that Joseph's betrayal is a possible thing- im still going in head first tho 🥰
Only started reading and I'm very exited! Just wanted to mention one thing, first cutscene with Joseph when we're making a deal about cover each other may look a bit strange because our right hand switched with left :/
hooooly crap this hit me like a train oh my god as soon as i saw gay transmasc outlaws in the old west i HAD to play this and oh my god it was so worth it i will not be the same after playing this in a good way you know i will never forget this game ever i love literally everything i love the art the story the homosexuality the music the people the card game literally everything i cried like 2 or 3 times playing this the story is SO GOOD AAAAAAAAAAA i'm going to tell everyone i know about this game i love it so MUCH AAAA
absolutely obsessed with this game. somebody was like "i found a gay transmasc western" and i was like THIS IS MY GAME THIS IS MY FREAKING game so yeah haha played it twice already. y'all are awesome :)
Hi there, sorry to hear you've had some trouble with the game. I've not seen a bug like that before so I can't say what might fix it. If you're playing in-browser I'd suggest playing in a different browser and seeing if that fixes anything. If that doesn't help, and you're willing/able, send an email to marbleclaws(at)gmail.com and we'll try work with you to find the problem.
I absolutely LOVE this game. Im really fixated on it, and im so glad I found it. This game NEEDS to be more popular cause oh my golly gee its amazing. It made me almost cry multiple times, amazing work!
oh my god. i just finished and. holy fucking shit. i cried. nothing has made me cry in MONTHS but i shed a few tears when they talked about running away. im waaay too familiar with that trapped feeling as a queer person...feeling like you'll never being able to escape your situation. ourgh. AGONY. it was so well-written ugghhh it hurtsss during some of the action scenes i was so tense and nervous my friends asked me if i was okay haha it really got me worried for the characters!! i really really loved this game.im really glad i found it. gay furries ftw always
This game called me out on so many levels it's actually ridiculous. I could've sworn the story of the game is inspired by someone's results of stalking my relationship.

This got me through my day today- I'm about to start crying because of it, this is very wholesome-
