Outlast

This game stands out as being something truly special: it creates an athmosphere that is truly frightening. From the moment I entered the courtyard and got out from the car, I knew that I had something special in front of me. The feeling is perfect: being not able to fight your way and having only the option to run and avoid the enemies, you feel helpless; and having to constantly manage the battery level, only increases the tension (here I fondly remember the flashlight from Doom 3). The graphics are nice, the sound is awesome (you can easily hear your breathing how it changes depending on the circumstances), the movement is smooth and the story is decent. I consider the game to be pegged in reality, until the end. I didn't like the ending: whereas everything until the end was pretty "normal" and doable, we get the supernatural thing as a game-end explanation. I don't get it: why couldn't they keep the line with the asylum, crazy doctors, maybe a little conspiracy? Do we need a new invisible enemy walking through walls and flying like Superman? This is not a good ending: this is lazy story telling, period. I like to abide to this rule: if it ain't broken, don't fix it. And let me not forget that the new super invincible and invisible enemy had my fears disappear: the scare factor was lost, gone was the authentic horror feeling, only the tension to run away from this "thing" remained. Quite a difference between the game (until this point) and the ending. It is my personal opinion that had it stayed in the realm of earth, it would've been a perfect horror game. Even with the weak ending, it is worth the full price.

A very polished and fun horror game. I play this every year since 2013.

Well Long time since I have been wanted to play a scary game, not since Silent Hill 2 or Amnesia, But I must say this one is freacking scary and a good buy. Thanks GOG for giving this title to us and with discount too :D :D Take care all you horror fans

I already own this game on Steam and just saw that it's on GOG now, as well. If you are into real survival horror games with an intense atmosphere and if you liked "Amnesia: the dark descent" then this might be the Halloween game for you. It's one of those few games that constantly keeps you on the edge and has a true sense of fighting to survive. There are no weapons in this game. There are no means of defending yourself. If you see something: run or hide! Don't try to be a hero because you will realize soon enough that you are not. The only advante you have is your camcorder with infrared vision so that you can see in the dark but can't be seen. It's intense hide and seek. The presentation of the game is awesome. The sounds are scary as hell and the atmosphere is like in a really good horror movie. If you are in for atmosphere, a few jumpsacares, blood and gore, a true sense of horror and are still looking fo a good game for Halloween (or just your next horror game fix) - go get it.

Outlast is a horror game done properly I've played Many horror games I was Like Meh towards them but this title actually CAUSED ME TO PANIC it was done so well the only Con of my version is it's the steam version you know what really bad when you run out of batteries in the Dark and It happens a LOT in this game just wait until you get to the WALL RIDER that genuinely shocked me no other lame 'Horror game' has done that before some of the things the enemies say is quite sick too you HAVE TO get this game HAVE TO this game actually made me feel uneasy the only downside to this game is the lack of a save anywhere option which is very annoying having to do the exact same thing over and over until you get it right but here is hoping the developers fix this in an upcoming patch.
