The virgin monika vs the chad Lumi
Outcore is not only extremely charming and full of heart, but also inventive and puts all its separate parts to their best use.
It's genuinely a very strong contender for one of the best free games you can play on Steam!
I can't say too much without spoiling some important parts of the game that are better experienced blind, but what I can say is that in its ~4 hour runtime, the game manages to tell a compelling story, switches up its gameplay without it feeling jarring and presents you with easily lovable characters and strange personalities. I also adore the music in this game.
The only real complaints I have is that the controls for the platforming sections are a little slippery and sometimes the reference humour can be a bit much but other than that, it totally captured my heart.
I loved playing through this one a lot!

really interesting concept with occasional success, but is separated by large sections of tedious platforming and dialogue trying to be undertale so hard, and often the 4th wall computer stuff is searching for a file in loads of folders anyway
חכו שיגלו שהיוצר ישראלי ואז יעשו לזה חרא ביקורות שרמוטות ערס
dropped it after 14 minutes because I wasn't interested, maybe I'll give it a chance someday.
Still, seems like a cool concept and every one talks about it very highly

Very unique and fun game.
is so amazing for being a free steam game :3
I wish more "meta" games were like this instead of "oh look theres a new file on your desktop!!!!"
Não vou dar spoilers, só vou dizer que isso é uma experiencia unica da midia de videogames PARA PC, tu não vai conseguir ver isso em nenhum outro lugar e aproveita a primeira experiencia sem ter visto NADA
tried to be an "edgy meta game with dark plot" only for 10 minutes and then continued to be funny and lighthearted. has its flaws, but still surprisingly well made for a free game.
lent et chiant
A very short and sweet free game. Some of the pixel art looks kind of iffy at times but the writing got a chuckle out of me many times and i CANT STOP PLAYING THE IDLE GAME
Oyuna bir başlayın, sizi alıp götürecek zaten. Oyun bedava bu arada, yani git oyna. Eğer gördüklerin hoşuna gittiyse.
It's free, 2 hours long and very creative, definitely give it a chance if you have the time and/or are looking for a game that plays with the fourth wall. I have a few caveats though, first of all the controls in the platform sections can get a few adjustments, to start the jump is very floaty witch can be a disadvantage against bosses that demands precision (Which explain the option to skip them) and the dash really could use a pointer when played with mouse, this is obvious in the race, when is easy to lose the track to where are we pointing at. Also, the plot can get a few adjustments to make its message more clear I'm not going to say what to avoid spoilers, because I really encourage you to play this game
Un juego pequeño que te tomara alrededor de 3 horas para completar, Outcore termina siendo otro juego Meta que interactua con tu desktop, la historia no es nada del otro mundo pero la cual es funcional y que tiene buenos momentos de comedia, por ultimo el gameplay es demasiado diverso, llegando a parodiar alguno varios juegos pero que principalmente es un plataformero
Outcore is just a masterpiece on game design from my point of view, this is a game that you won't ever have clue about what is going to happen next, nor in terms of gameplay or story. When I thought that it couldn't surprise me more, it dropped a big unexpected event, and then it did it again, and again, and again. This is one of the funniest games I've ever played, and it's just crazy to think that this came from a team of only one person.
If you haven't played the game, get it now and play it, it's around 3 hours to beat and it's free, so it's available for everyone. This game is truly an unique experience that must be played as blind as possible.

Está curioso y tiene momentos graciosetes parodiando diversos temas. Los controles son un poco bastante meh, pero se puede jugar que es lo importante. En resumen, corto, entretenido y graciosete, encima gratis.
A charming and a really quirky game that takes a lot of inspiration from Undertale. The "gameplay" is all over the place, ranging from the epic Super Sonic-like boss fight to... programming problems.You know, the ones they make you do in middle school? Yeah.
But i cant really complain. The game is free and if you dont have anything better to play, i'd say it's worth it!

Cool to see a game that feels inspired by Danganronpa 2! Exciting! Derivative of quite a lot of games (I guess most obviously Celeste) in the gameplay outside of the desktop and I occasionally found those sections slightly frustrating due to the controls (you obviously want a controller for that sort of platforming, but then that would take away from the direct interaction with the desktop interface, so... double-edged sword that unfortunately stabbed me on a few occasions; horrendous bleeding.) The writing keeps those sections alive, though; initially, I found it pretty grating, but I got pretty invested in the silliness of it by the end. Generally, a few complaints but this is a free game, so... no reason not to play it, really!

This game deserves more attention and love than I've seen it get. Which is BASICALLY 𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆 besides like, 𝘰𝘯𝘦 video I've happened to stumble across Youtube on it (and even then I didn't watch much of the video itself I just went to the Steam link in the description and erased the video from my History on Youtube so I wouldn't say what video it even was)
But what I can say is that thanks to that video, I've happened to stumble across one of the most unique, most engaging, and most 𝐈𝐓 games I think I've ever played in my life. Many elements from the gameplay, while not the most polished at times at hand with the animation, do feel very well executed, and lead to some INTENSE moments and boss battles, but also just pure vibes.
At times I wasn't even playing much of the game. Just hanging Lumi around with an extra window so she could watch a Youtube video. And it brought me so many new experiences. Like out of nowhere showing me that Oh yeah! MS Paint IS still on my computer, from attempting Java and actually learning a bit of a small fundamental (even if by the final level of the idle game it kind of broke, it was still a nice experience to actually feel in CONTROL with coding for once, as well as the mere PRESENCE of coding at all in this game)
But hands down the story was one that kept me super engaged throughout the whole thing. And It left me super emotional with the direction it went throughout the end with Lumi's world and her dreams.
Overall, I cannot recommend Outcore enough. It does have a fair share of Trigger Warnings I feel are worth noting so it's not like I can recommend it on a whim to everyone. But regardless, it still was an incredible experience that I'll keep in my memories for a very good while. COMPLETELY shattering what I thought was possible with this medium in terms of 4th wall breaks and engaging storytelling throughout them.

Before you read on, Outcore is FREE. It is on steam and it is free, and I really recommend it.
Ultimately I think it's a bit more fun going into it blind, but here are my thoughts after finishing it in one sitting (Steam says it took me about two and a half hours)
Outcore feels like something that was made in the heyday of Newgrounds, with it's weird and kinda-bad platforming, to it's referential humour, all the way to its made-by-one-person charm. I'm a fan of games fucking with your desktop, it's a fantastic mechanic that fully uses the PC you are playing on as a whole.
It is hard not to talk about the game without making reference to...well, it's references. It's Undertale adjacent, both directly and generally. It is happy to pastiche all sorts of Visual Novel tropes. Its jokes and writing range from "Ah come on lads" to being genuinely laugh out loud funny.
I think it's fantastic, I think everyone with a PC and a few hours should take a look at it. It's surprisingly heartwarming, it's clearly been a labour of love, and itaskedmeifIwasaBetaCuck

Esto me pasó el otro día así que las sorpresas no me han sorprendido pero sigue siendo muy bueno
Really fun and an interesting game and all this for FREE??
Check back in on her in a year, Lumi will be saying slurs guaranteed
A game that is actually unique and does something new and different??? Very rare.
The humor is pretty good, the actual gameplay is genuinely fun to go through, and the story is very engaging. But the bits where you play on your desktop are something I've never seen before. Using and interacting with files and programs on your PC was seamless and well-done.

Super unique experience. Story definitely isn't perfect, but it's good enough. It's really all about the gameplay, and this does a lot of really interesting things.
fundamentally too ashamed of itself. i'm trying to come up with anything else to say about it but that's all.
Ok maybe fixing broken women clicks too well
Free short nice and very enjoyable if you like 4th wall breaks and fun random stuff in general.
Very very fun
