Outlast is a survival horror video game developed and published by Red Barrels. The game is set in the remote mountains of Colorado, where Mount Massive Asylum harbors an unspeakable horror. Players assume the role of investigative journalist Miles Upshur, who enters the asylum to uncover the truth behind a mysterious and deadly outbreak.
The game is played from a first-person perspective, and players are equipped with only a camcorder to record important clues and events. The camcorder has a night vision mode which allows players to navigate the dark and twisted corridors of the asylum. However, the camera also has a limited battery life, and players must find batteries throughout the game to keep the camera operational.
As players progress through the game, they encounter grotesque and terrifying enemies that are hell-bent on stopping them. The enemies are the patients of the asylum, who have been subjected to cruel and inhumane experiments that have turned them into bloodthirsty monsters. Players must use stealth and cunning to avoid detection, and if forced into combat, must resort to clever use of their environment to outsmart their enemies.
The game features a deep and engrossing narrative that envelops players in a world of fear and dread. The story is told through documents and recordings found in the levels, and paints a picture of a horrifying conspiracy that threatens the safety of the entire world.
Outlast is a terrifying and atmospheric horror experience that will keep players on the edge of their seats throughout its duration. With its deep narrative and immersive gameplay, it is a must-play for fans of survival horror games.
