Evaluation

looK INside - Chapter 1 is a standalone first chapter of a narrative adventure series, released on January 22, 2020. The game received several post-launch patches improving UX, localization, and bug fixes throughout 2020 and 2021. In August 2021, the developer announced they had secured funding and used it to deliver a comprehensive overhaul of Chapter 1, describing it as the version "we would have liked to release from the start." By September 2022, a final patch added three new languages, a new English voice actor, and additional bug fixes — and the post itself described this as a "definitive" version of Chapter 1. That same September 2022 post announced the release of Chapter 2 as a separate game (Steam App 1725360), which launched on September 19, 2022. Chapter 2 is an entirely separate product. The only DLC for Chapter 1 is the soundtrack, which shipped on September 29, 2021. The most recent developer communication for this game was a Unity security patch on October 10, 2025 — a maintenance-only update with no content implications. There are no unreleased DLC items, no announced future content for Chapter 1, and the developer explicitly described the September 2022 update as the definitive version. Chapter 1 is a complete, self-contained product.

Step into the characters' shoes by acting their own way

through puzzles and riddles that will appeal to your aesthetic sense and empathy.

Browse at your leisure, without fear of what you may discover!

looK INside is not a puzzle game; no mystery, no heavy family secrets. We offer you a fun, frank and fulfilling experience that is part of the vein of a calm and soothing activity.



With KIN, we are doing a little homecoming, a tribute to these men and women who have made us as we are, with their qualities and their faults but above all with their humanity.
Here is our fable on transmission and memory, mixing literary and graphic arts, giving an air of poetry to these people we know so well and so badly at the same time!

Warning !
Some puzzles are based on color perception
The game is episodic and will have paid DLCs with new content in 2022
