Once you’re trapped in the asylum, you’ve got to find a way out. The way progression works in Outlast is simply exploring and fulfilling objectives. Somewhat similar to Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, combat is not a thing and escaping pursuers is all down to running, creating barricades, and hiding. Unlike most horror games, its key element is stealth as it creates a scenario where you cannot fight against the enemies and creatures stalking you and trying to kill you. Outlast is a first-person horror-themed survival game. It’s something you don’t see in horror video games much these days. The game fleshes out its lore much like a horror movie and that’s part of what makes it so interesting and what kept me coming back to the game. On the surface, the story is about a company performing illegal experiments and it quickly escalates into human torture, religious cults, and supernatural forces as your search for the truth turns into a vicious fight for survival. The deeper you go, the more you find out, and the more screwed up everything gets. Outlast is like the movie Grave Encounters.
It fleshes out a lot of the backstory of not only the events going on in the asylum, but for the anonymous person who tipped off the main game’s protagonist into seeking the truth. On top of that, this also includes the Whistleblower DLC Campaign that takes place before, during, and after the events of the main game. Always willing to take risks, the reporter heads out to this asylum and sneaks inside a window to find out the truth, not knowing what horrors awaited him inside. Outlast is about a journalist who receives an anonymous tip that the company in charge of a secluded insane asylum is performing illegal experiments on its patients and needs to be exposed. Here is my review of Outlast: Bundle of Terror for the Nintendo Switch! Story Upon request, I dove into the depths and have returned in one piece.
Outlast, the game that was argued to be the scariest horror game of all time back in 2013 had a stealth-launch on the Nintendo Switch along with the announcement of Outlast 2 coming for the Switch as soon as next week. This generation, though, developers were up to the task. The Vita didn’t get very much, outside of indie games and the new Corpse Party game.
In the PSP generation, we got a couple Silent Hill games that managed to scratch that itch, but not quite live up to the heart-throbbing experiences from Silent Hill 2 and 3. For years, people have been asking for scary horror games on handhelds.
