Description
In the remote mountains of Colorado, horrors wait inside Mount Massive Asylum. A long-abandoned home for the mentally ill, recently re-opened by the “research and charity” branch of the transnational Murkoff Corporation, the asylum has been operating in strict secrecy… until now.

Acting on a tip from an anonymous source, independent journalist Miles Upshur breaks into the facility, and what he discovers walks a terrifying line between science and religion, nature and something else entirely. Once inside, his only hope of escape lies with the terrible truth at the heart of Mount Massive.
  • Stealth-based gameplay, with parkour-inspired platforming elements.
  • You are no fighter - if you want to survive the horrors of the asylum, your only chance is to run... or hide.
  • Outlast’s setting and characters are inspired by real asylums and cases of criminal insanity.

If you love getting scared, Outlast provides you with an enjoyable weekend; if you don't, your weekend is better spent elsewhere

Outlast loses momentum occasionally, but its unsettling atmosphere and pulse-pounding chases keep pulling you along for the ride.

Repetition and overfamiliarity are always the best ways to nullify fear, but until they set in this is one of the most effectively scary video games ever made.

Still holds up! Even a decade later!

Outlast is a mix of grotesque, psychological and atmospheric horror. All into one. And it pulls it off extremely well. It really sets you in a very nervous mood as soon as you start playing. As you are desperately hidding and sneaking your way towards your objectives. All while trying to avoid the many psychotic patients of the asylum. Especially the Variants, You do NOT want to get caught by them. What sets outlast apart from other horror games. Is that there are no weapons or means to defend yourself. It's run or hide. fighting is not an option. Because basically you stand no chance in a straight brawl. You will simply die. While the game is short, about 3-4 hours long on a first playthrough. it's extremely good. You will be coming back for multiple playthroughs. While trying to collect all of the hidden footage and documents. The Whistleblower DLC, really amps up the shock and horror. As it introduces one of the most disturbing characters in Horro game history Eddie Gluskin. While the DLC is 2 hours long on a first playthrough. It's cheap and very well worth it. Outlast is a game you really should play if you are a fan of horror. It's different from the rest, it's very memorable. An excellent choice for spooky horror game nights! Definetly a must play.

Outlast isn't what you would call a subtle horror game, but it is extremely effective at what it does.

One of my new favorite horror games

I don't consider myself the type to play this type of horror game, usually I reach for Silent Hill or something I can play with friends but Outlast has slowly become one of my favorite horror games I have ever played. I am so glad I've gotten into the series.

Nice, but inconsistent (Spoiler-free)

Overrall thought: It begins with a nice atmosphere build and nice scares, gets repetitive by the middle, and goes totally bonkers by the end. Story: Pretty interesting, but many of is written on documents, that most players ignore. And -in my opinion- you can predict the ending miles before it arrives. Game Mechanics: You use your camera to see in the dark (it requires batteries for this), solve extremely simple 'puzzles', and runaway and hide from enemies. It's fun an gets your heart racing, but it gets repetitive at the middle of the game, and as a side note, bateries are way too abundant. Graphics/Sound: It uses the Unreal Engine 3, it looks very detailed, but the character models could have been better. The sound is amazing, and very chilling. So, like I said, you'll have a nice and creepy time playing Outlast, but its inconsistencies show themselves throughout the game, and might take you out of the experience.
