I made an account just to comment on this game, and I know that the likelihood of any of you ever seeing this is slim to none but this game genuinely affected me on a personal level. I don't know how or why but it just did. I don't have any money right now to donate but if I could I would give it to this game solely because of how much this silly dinky story of two gay gang members genuinely fucked me up in the emotions. It's probably because I've struggled a lot in life with sexuality and my own personal identity, and usually I tend to just avoid games like these because they make me think too much about it. I don't know, I just finished the game like less than an hour ago but just, WOW man. I hope anyone who sees this comment is doing well and I hope that the people who contributed to this game go far in life, remember to be true to yourselves everyone, I know I'm gonna start being truer to myself now. (Also now that I'm reading through the other comments, it feels good to see I'm not the only one this game affected dude. .) ~With much love Bongy
Read this in about 3 hours, this might be one of the greatest VN's I've ever read. I'm just at a loss, characters, world building, everything- I LOVEDDD it.
Nothing makes me happier than gay cowboys. Fantastic job you guys. <3
i literally just made this account to comment on this because it genuinely got to me.
This visual novel is wonderful, the way its written, the artstyle, the music, EVERYTHING, the characters all feel so real and the love between them is really genuine, the feeling of not fitting in is also very good represented, and as a fellow transfem it all felt way too close to home, NEVER in my life i thought i would cry to a visual novel, but the way this is written, its all so relatable and it hits like a dumptruck, you guys made a masterpiece, thank you for making such an amazing game.
Absolutely loved the story!!!!! I never read a better visual novel before, the art, the characters, the story and the music is just so perfect. If I had known about the menu in the top right corner I wouldn't have to click to the half of it, but it's alright, atleast I could read it in two days. I would definietly buy the gold edition if I had some more money, because you deserve it!! I hope to see more game from you! Thanks for this <3
THIS GAME IS AMAZING AND WHEN I SAID I CRIED I WAS POURING WATERFALLS. Imagine at the end credit scene you put the song "it's been a long, long time" IT WOULD HAVE BEEN AWASOME But it is what it is. AMAZING WORK,AMAZING DIALOGS, AMAZING ENDING, AMAZING MUSIC, AMAZING EVERYTHING AND I WOULD FORCE MY FRIEND TO PLAY THIS GAME AND IF I CAN I WILL REPLAY IT AS MUCH AS I CAN AND WANT TO
In the top right if you mouse over there's a menu bar where you can save and load. Sorry if you missed it before! I might make it more obvious in an update.
First comment ever on Itch! This was the top game of hundreds i've played on this platform. The way everything had a build up and the plot twists were absolutely insane! I loved the little scene of the kiss, it literally had me squealing. Shi when my mother made me cut the game off halfway i swear to you i was nonstop thinking about this game for 2 hours. Its now 2;14 AM and i don't regret staying up to play this silly little game :D! You guys made all of the characters so relatable and that was one of the best parts. ALSO THE DRAWINGSSSS- they were so adorableee. Anyway i hope you guys plan to make more games in the future because i will 100% be playing them. Tysm Devs for this wonderful heart-touching game <33
This is the first time I've actually written a comment on Itch and honestly, it's not gonna be wasted. The end made me full-on cry, I definitely was not expecting to start crying over a cute little anthropomorphic queer game, but here I am. I'll 100% be playing it again, it'll forever be in the back of my mind <3 If I could, I'd create a whole new number to rate this wonderful game with, I could feel how odd and new yet nice it was being called things like sir, gentleman, and stuff like that genuinely, instead of people mocking you. I absolutely love this game, and I wish you the best <3. 100/10.
This game was lovely. I didn't expect it, but I got that shakey breath, chin trembling typa cry out of it. I needed it, I think. Anyways, thanks for the beautiful game.
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

Incredible!!! I said as much in my review, but amazing stuff, can't wait for the last 2 little mini comics, and to see what you guys work on next!
El arte es realmente bueno, y la historia uff
Absolutely loved the story!!!!! I never read a better visual novel before, the art, the characters, the story and the music is just so perfect.

dodge city mentioned hell yea
Crying, this game was absolutely amazing and I related to the character a whole lot more than I should've.
Such a lovely novel! Appreciate the representation!
I just wish it could save when i leave, close my laptop, or lose the internet lmao i got so much progress
Hi there, is the save functionality not working?
No, haha, I never knew there was one. I'm using web version, so maybe that's why?
In the top right if you mouse over there's a menu bar where you can save and load. Sorry if you missed it before! I might make it more obvious in an update.
Oh, I see it now. I have a (relatively small) chromebook, so most visual novels don't fit on the screen fully lmao
speedruns of this game are probably crazy
Clicks fast forward "Now let's break the world record B)"
Bro music is better than the whole game, I am now using it while a sleep and do work!
I nammee robin Two D while listening to plastic beach lmao
im not gay but this was 10/10

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