Outcome invites players into a desolate world where survival depends on agility and quick thinking. Taking on the role of a lone survivor, players must progress through a series of increasingly complex levels. Each stage presents environmental dangers and requires precise timing to avoid obstacles and reach safe zones.
The player's objective is to guide the character along a continuous path filled with crates, barriers, and other hazards. Movement is automatic, and the player must decide when to jump or switch the side of the path to evade obstacles.
The game introduces a unique mechanic allowing players to flip between the upper and lower planes of the level. This reflective design provides alternate routes and solutions to bypass difficult sections.
Outcome consists of 20 levels. As the player advances, the complexity of the environments increases. Later levels feature a greater number of obstacles and require faster reactions. Collecting tornado icons throughout the levels contributes to the player's score and can unlock additional rewards.
The game adopts a grayscale aesthetic, enhancing the atmosphere of a world left in ruins. Backgrounds depict collapsed buildings, abandoned vehicles, and broken power lines. Each level is presented with a side-scrolling perspective, and the reflective path mechanic adds visual depth and variation.
The level map showcases a progression route marked by numbered signposts leading from a campsite. Players can select levels based on their current progress, and the terrain around the map emphasizes decay and abandonment, reinforcing the game's post-apocalyptic theme.
Outcome shares some gameplay elements with runner-style platformers such as Geometry Dash and Slope Ball. However, its use of the flip mechanic and the detailed post-apocalyptic setting provide a distinct gameplay experience focused on navigation strategy and environmental awareness.
Outcome can be played directly in web browsers and is compatible with both desktop and mobile devices.
