Outlast
Outlast is a gripping first-person survival horror game developed and published by Red Barrels. As a freelance journalist, you step into the shoes of Miles Upshur, who investigates unsettling rumors about Mount Massive Asylum. Armed with only a night-vision camera, you must navigate the nightmarish asylum, where every shadow hides danger and every sound is a potential threat.
Survival Gameplay
In Outlast, survival is paramount. Unlike many horror games that offer combat options, this title immerses you in a world where you are entirely defenseless. Your only means of survival is to run, hide, and wait for danger to pass. If you’re captured by the asylum’s deranged inhabitants, you’ll face an immediate death and must restart from the last checkpoint. Your primary tool is a video camera equipped with night vision, which helps you see in the dark and uncover crucial clues to advance the story.
