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.
Is an AMD Radeon HD 7310 enough to run the game if all other requirements are covered?

What achievement can be more precious than DRM-free!? My preciousss...
I understand some 32 bit users (like myself) are pissed about 64 bit recommendation but it actually does run fine if u have least 3 gb. technically used 2780mb in my experiences but thats max settings. Only crashed a couple times when minimizing / maximizing. And of course no background programs (expect steam / Razer)

AMD Phenom ii x6 1040 @ 3.2
Windows XP sp3
3.5 gb ram (4 gb stick)
evga gtx 460 SC

Try this and see if it helps: 4GB Patch
low rated
Hmm .

Indie Tuesday .
Is this something like playing a dude who's too woozy to pick up one of the dozens of sticks all around the floors to fight off a mummy as seen in amnesia?

I'm a bit confused - Natefk said he's on a 32bit system and the patch is for running x86 software on 64bit systems, how could it help him?

Endzville: It's a bit too reliant on jump scares
snip.
Ah, I hate it when they do that.
Thanks for sharing your experience, though, you make it sound that the game can still win you over inspite of this aspect.

That patch unlocks the 32-bit applications to use more than 2GB of RAM. This, of course, won't help if 64-bit architecture is what is recommended and not utilization of more memory but it doesn't hurt to try as the application makes a back up of the .exe-file automatically and it only takes a second to unlock it.
Not sure whether this would be worth it for me. It certainly looks nice from what I've seen. *ponders*

sebarnolds: Nice release but one wallpaper as extra ? That's a bit cheap.

nijuu: Is this like the skimpiest freebie of all the releases ever? Come on devs....
Not at all. Don't forget about the games that come with.... wait for it... a MANUAL! Hoo, boy! Sweetness! =P

Extras (avatars, wallpapers, the occasional soundtrack) may be nice, but they're the least important factor when I'm buying games from GOG, while the game itself is naturally the most important part.
Heard plenty of good things about this game, so nice to see it here!
Good game the survival-horror genre. I'd never play it myself, but I enjoyed watching theRadBrad play it a few months back. The bit of description as "You are not a fighter" did seem weird to me, like he's such a pansy he won't even try to defend himself. (Or maybe I just miss the action-horror FPS sub-genre like Doom 3.)

On a different topic: I'm pretty concerned about the fact that we haven't seen any fresh news regarding a big new publisher showing up on GOG. We've been getting some good old games the past few months from current publishers (like EA) or new smaller publishers like those I assume Night Dive has helped GOG make contact with (like those who own the Acclaim titles).

But I feel we're at risk of losing the Fallout games and growing more stale in the g.o.g. section if GOG is unable to secure a nice backlog in the coming months (not to mention losing the g.o.g. customer base if they sense a staling too). TET said back in May we might see Dr. M show up this fall, which I assume actually refers to ZeniMax. I wasn't around for the EA hype, but I assume it started a few weeks in advance.

I'd find it very odd if ZeniMax would ignore the internet's second-largest digital distributor (even if they're almost all about Steam) especially given all their classics are easily obtained on place like Pirate Bay. However, I'd also think GOG would have started hyping them coming aboard already. I suppose we could see an "Arkane Studios"-type event occur where we keep the Fallout games under a publisher different than Bethsada, but that seems rather silly, like Bethsada or ZeniMax are so afraid of DRM-free that they don't even want their names visible here. :P

Keeping in mind the reality of non-disclosure, my current desire would be for a bluetext to respond with even a vague hint that we'll see some of this happen soon.
