Our intern screamed with fear.

Outlast, a terrifying stealth-based survival horror game with parkour elements, full of sickening insanity and unscrupulous violence, is available 33% off on GOG.com. That's only $13.39 for the next 3 days!

Did you ever have to run for your life? Like, really escape from something or someone threatening to kill you? Many people imagine themselves paralyzed with fear in a situation like that--immobilized by the sudden realization that death is practically looking into their eyes, and the breath of air they take is probably going to be their last one. Others, imagine they would put up a fight, facing the horror head on and taking their chances against the odds. Truth is, if you only get the split-second that adrenaline needs to kickstart the muscle memory, you will do the same thing as all your ancestors who survived in the race of evolution. You will run. As fast as you can. No, faster than you ever thought you could. Your senses will become sharp, showing you routes of escape your conscious mind would never think of. In this sudden rush of energy and clarity, your little fears will become irrelevant, paling in the presence of the greatest terror of them all: fear for your own survival. You'll be able to do things you never thought were possible, things you'd never imagine yourself doing, without stopping to think even for a heartbeat. That's how you survive. There are horrors in this world, however, that seem impossible to outlast. This is a story about such horror.

Outlast is a first-person perspective horror game, that has you fighting for survival (as in: hiding or running in panic) in a nightmarish mental asylum overrun by hellish maniacs possessed by unnatural bloodlust. Deep and immersive gameplay paired with excellent visuals and competent narrative will make you jump in your seat time after time. The game is full of ideas prominent to the horror genre and makes perfect use of each and every one of them. With a story and characters inspired by actual asylums and cases of criminal insanity, diverse hide or run gameplay with parkour elements, and many gruesome images that one can not simply forget, this title offers one of the most involving and terrifying experiences in the history of gaming. You have been warned.

This Halloween, you could be facing the greatest fears gaming has to offer, sitting in a dark room on the very edge of your chair, heart racing, with sweaty palms and dry lips, playing Outlast, for only $13.39 on GOG.com! The 33% special release discount offer lasts only until Friday, November 1, at 10:59AM GMT.

Ghorpm: The outbreak of those titles is just depressing. They are outdoing themselves, aren't they? And they ignore our outcries. I'm not even sure which game outclasses the others and which is already outdated so I'm out of my mind too. I need some outdoor activity right now ;)

Too bad there's no OutRun available.



(And I really mean that, I even ordered an anniversary OutRun CD Box from Japan... :-)
I already decided "Instabuy!" a couple of weeks ago when I heard about this coming to GOG. So: Instabuy! :)

I would have even paid the full price for the GOG release, but I guess the promo price is fine too.

Since Conan O'Brian also likes the game, it must be good.

If there was "Outlaws" on GOG.com, at least...I could live with the confusion.

Only by outsourcing it.

Ha! I knew it that somebody would outmanoeuvre me!
It's a bit too reliant on jump scares, but I found it to be a really good game overall. Gets an A+ for immersion, that's for sure. You can see your character's body as you play (opening doors, crawling through vents, etc.), which I find really helps with that. It also has the coolest camera mechanic I've ever seen in a game, quite frankly. Some players will probably only ever use it as a night vision tool but, if you get as immersed in the game as I did, then you might surprise yourself by recording just about everything, as if you really were collecting evidence in your role as a journalist. I think you're actually encouraged to do this because sometimes Miles, that's you, will only make notes based on some of the footage he gathers. The story was also a bit more interesting than I expected. Not incredible or anything, but I was at least quite curious, and eventually surprised. Funnily enough, though, just about everyone seems to hate the ending even though it's foreshadowed to death. Enjoyed it myself anyway.

So, yes, big thumbs up for me. With the Halloween promo and its offerings, as well as Lone Survivor coming here in two days, we have quite the awesome selection of games going on here.
what? no support for 32bits??? that's sad, man.
Awesome release, GOG!

In fact, I was just typing "Outlast DRM-Free" into Google earlier today... you're not working with the NSA, are you? Using more devious methods to extract the desires of your fan-base, perhaps?

Regardless of that, this is an insta-buy from me. I've heard good things about the music, graphics and compatibility. Plus, I loved the four minute trailer...
Wow!!!!
Totally unexpected!!!!

Yeah, my game would constantly crash at one certain point, but I did a search and there was a workaround to it involving the console on your computer. Worked fine otherwise, but I don't think it would have been a good idea of me to play other games at that time because of the changes you make in the console, and you do have to reverse those changes when you're done with the game. It's over on Steam somewhere for those interested.
Good release, GOG. I played this game for a friend, it's a very good title.

I'd say that's downright outstanding ...
Thanks for putting the scary-as-shit image on the homepage.
