Description

Hell is an experiment you can't survive in Outlast, a first-person survival horror game developed by veterans of some of the biggest game franchises in history. As investigative journalist Miles Upshur, explore Mount Massive Asylum and try to survive long enough to discover its terrible secret... if you dare.

Synopsis:

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.

Outlast is a true survival horror experience which aims to show that the most terrifying monsters of all come from the human mind.

Features:

  • True Survival Horror Experience: You are no fighter - if you want to survive the horrors of the asylum, your only chance is to run... or hide
  • Immersive Graphics: AAA-quality graphics give players a detailed, terrifying world to explore
  • Hide and Sneak: Stealth-based gameplay, with parkour-inspired platforming elements
  • Unpredictable Enemies: Players cannot know when - and from where - one of the asylum’s terrifying inhabitants will finally catch up to them
  • Real Horror: Outlast’s setting and characters are inspired by real asylums and cases of criminal insanity

Warning:

Outlast contains intense violence, gore, graphic sexual content, and strong language. Please enjoy.

Used to speedrun 1&2 a fairly long time ago, never fully went through on pc again though. However I still highly recommend the games, if it's even possible that people haven't played or seen the game yet, xd

This is a wonderful experience especially if you're playing this for the first time. It is more than worth the money and you don't need a good pc for the game to run smoothly. I love how the DLC connects to the main

One of my favourite horror games ever, an experience oozing of dread and visceral terror. The atmosphere is strong all throughout, the characters are terrifying and memorable and the story -while a bit confusing- is

First you have a short cutscene which gives you a rundown on everything you need to know, the reason you are here to start exploring the hell that is this place. The main mechanic, the camcorder gets introduced as soon

I thought that I'd be prepared going into this game since I had played Resident Evil 8 before... boy was I wrong. This game scared me to death, and I had to have a friend to scream with just to get through the first

This game was an insane and spooky experience. I've always been a big fan of Amnesia TDD, and I was extremely disappointed by Amnesia The Bunker (that's an understatement, that game is a middle finger to the Amnesia
