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.
Story
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.
Reception
Sinclair User: "You may be surprised at just how intimidating a canary can be... Without a doubt, the best 3D game since Head Over Heels."
