Survival horror at its most terrifying

In the remote mountains of Colorado, horrors await inside Mount Massive Asylum. A long-abandoned home for the mentally ill, it has been recently re-opened by the research and charity branch of the transnational Murkoff Corporation and operates 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 treads a terrifying line between science, 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 shows that the most terrifying monsters of all come from the human mind itself. Are you prepared?

...reminds me a little of The Suffering

You know what always makes me Lol with these games, is how there are always like a million dead highly trained S.W.A.T members lying around from like 1 of the these creatures and you single handily destroy these things.

Looks like they are take a leaf out of slender man two's book as well with the camera thing, what happened to a good old flash light?

Outlast free for PlayStation Plus members in February

PlayStation Plus members can download a copy of survival horror game Outlast for free in February, developer Red Barrels announced today, stating that the offer is only applicable to the PlayStation 4 version of the game.

Originally released on Sept. 4 for Windows PC, the title is slated to launch Feb. 5 on the PS4. Outlast is set to receive downloadable content in the near future called Whistleblower, a prequel where players take on the role of a new character. The new playable character is the anonymous tipster who was the catalyst for the main game's events.

me wants!

Finally finished off this excellent horror game but the ending was half interesting, half stupid.

Spoilers below in white:

First up, I really enjoyed the way they subverted the light-dark mechanic in a brightly lit lab which still required the night-vision mode to fully define the Walrider nanoswarm (while obscuring everything else).

At the end, things go full sci-fi, at least I think they do, and this leads to some good and bad points.

Good: The knowledge that the swarm would only take to derganaged/traumatised individuals which is perfect given the priest spent a good chunk of the game leading you into terrifying encounters before eventually immolating himself in front of you. At first I assumed he was mad but when Miles becomes the new host it's obvious he had a good idea all along of what his new "god" required to survive.

Bad: The infamous "exposition dump" in which we have to sit in a locked room and listen to an old Nazi scientist stereo-type explain everything is nanomachines and, contrasting with early documents, he suggests he lied to the Nazi's regarding the paranormal aspect of the project. Keeping something mysterious or unknowable is a huge boost to anything horrifying and it's unfortunate they felt the need to go this route.

On the upside, I guess they never truly remove the possibility the swarm is sentient given that it chooses to enter Miles even as Billy is dying.

Hopefully the new DLC will do a good job of expanding on the story both before and after the base game.
