Simple concept, scary game
The scariest game I've yet played. Highly recommended for anyone who likes to experience terror in the dark. This game is exhilarating and tense throughout, rarely giving you a breather before sending you off into another dark corridor with some demented variant. It's not a perfect game, by far. The level design is very plain and linear, and it has annoying design features like no toggle button for crouch, not placing notes and documents at the top of your notebook list, etc. More significantly, the game does not allow for any creativity in how you evade monsters. There's really only one way to do so in a given monster chase, so you either do it, or not. The player cannot really experiment with different hiding options beyond those provided in the game (beds and lockers). The game is still fun, I just wish that the hiding feature, the main point of the game, was more open-ended. Nonetheless, these shortfalls do not compromise the game's central motif. There are few things scarier than pushing around in the dark, looking through a grainy camcorder, in a fantastically freakish haunted asylum. The textures and atmosphere are so good; it's clear how much effort the team put into creating a compelling mood and immersive sound selection. The mnusic is chilling, the voice acting is strong, and this game will have you sweaing bullets. Play it in the dark, play it with headphones, and most of all, don't read walkthroughs. Just let the game's surprises come to you. Visually arresting, Outlast is definitely an essential addition to the great titles of PC horror lore.
