Plot
Plot
An eccentric millionaire has died without leaving a will, instead hiding his money and gems in obscure places around his large house. His widow has hired a professional thief to find and retrieve these items. However, the dead millionaire's strange pets have now overrun the mansion and do not take kindly to interlopers.
Gameplay
Gameplay
Inside Outing uses the Worldmaker graphic development system that was pioneered by The Edge's 1986 game, Fairlight. The player controls a thief, named "Raffles" in some versions of the game and "Devon Aire" in others, who must explore a large mansion looking for valuables, while avoiding the various hostile creatures that inhabit the house.
