GameCube exclusive Eternal Darkness is famous for its patented sanity system - but the rights have now expired. So, could anyone copy it? We asked a lawyer.

I always wished they would have done more with the IP. Lovecraftian stuff is always fun.

The new game, “Look Outside” uses a sanity system and is also Cosmic Horror.

I can’t tell if “Look Outside” is the name of a real game, or a sarcastic-not-sarcastic commentary on current events.

It can be both.

There’s no “sanity” system in Look Outside. The closest thing is a hidden “stress” stat which, last I checked, is literally just combat problems when it gets low.

That said, Look Outside is a fantastic game, and the Dev is super down to earth and active with his players. Highly recommend.
