Outlast Review: See Your Doctor Before Playing This Game!!!

Art by emberofeld Outlast. You drive up to an abandoned asylum that’s filled with crazy, psychopaths…..Some of them are naked btw……and you have nothing to defend yourself. All you have is a video camera -_-. Maybe they’re camera shy and will run away if you go near them *sigh*……. Warning: Images Below Are Pretty Freakin’ Gross

I saw gameplay for this game a few months back, and thought to myself “This game looks awesome. I’m definitely going to buy it.” Stupid mistake! When I first downloaded it, I didn’t play until a week later. I was just too scared to play it. When I first started playing, I thought I had an advantage because I had already seen all the gameplay for it. So I’m thinking nothing will scare me….I’m prepared for everything….I can take on the world. I make my way into the asylum…..Started walking carelessly down the hall……Made my way into a dark room and was greeted by a headless guy swinging out of the dark towards me with frightening music playing simultaneously.

Outlast is a horror survival game that uses multiple forms of scare techniques to frighten you. Some of them are out of nowhere and some of them you can predict are coming, but still manages to scare the living daylight out of you.
