Your main weapons in Outlast are running and hiding. Your main goal is to stay alive.

Your inventory consists of a small video camera with a limited night vision mode requiring simple resource management to keep available by finding batteries while you struggle to stay in one piece.

A great First Person Survival Horror.

Mount Massive Asylum hides a terrible and a bloody secret. You play an investigative journalist Miles, given a tip off that horrible and unnatural experiments are being conducted on the inmates at the Asylum. You set off into the Colorado Mountains with your camera to uncover the truth.

Outlast is very tense and very satisfying experience mostly due to the outstandingly well designed environment of the Mount Massive Asylum. The asylum layout and near pitch black enviroments create a powerful tension where you feel like, and infact are, constantly hunted. The experience is added to by the outstanding musical score that keeps you on edge and very nervous at all times, enhancing the whole experience and making your dark journey into the heart of the Asylum all the more unnerving.

You are immersed. You can smell the mold and taste the cold air. The rotting tiles and dank enviroments are fantastic and all consuming. Even the charcters heavy breathing keeps you on edge during the various frightining cat and mouse chases.

Outlast is very scary and not because of cheap jumps scares, there are a few jump moments, but they never feel cheap or tacky for me, the majority of the terror comes from the outstanding enviroment and the helplessness you feel as the player sourrounded by the grotesque unhindged inhabitents that may, or may not attack you at any random moment.

Well written notes located around the map help to explore and expand the story of the asylums past and present for players who wish to delve into the story.

Outlast is one of thoes brilliant games with Achievements that change the way you play and experience the game a 2nd or 3rd time.

-'Lunatic mode' is a play through on the hardest setting without dying or saving once. Beyond punishing.
-'Claustrophobe' is a play through completed without hiding in a locker or under a bed. Quite tricky.
-'Energiser' is plaing on Insane without using any batteries for your night vision. Very difficult!

This is probably my favorite survival horror game of all time. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to test their nerve and survival abilities.

Beware The Walrider.
