Outlast game overview and analysis



Outlast


Outlast tells the story of a reporter who gets a tip from an anonymous informant that something fishy is going on at a mountain asylum. The reporter goes there to investigate, but when he arrives he realises that all hell has broken loose already. It’s probably a good idea to just leave, but it's already too late and he's trapped inside. The back story is drawn from the real MKUltra experiments conducted by the CIA in the 50s, 60s and 70s in the U.S. and Canada. Those experiments, which are still shrouded in secrecy and that some think continue to this day, dealt with drug use, torture and some form of mind control. It doesn't include an overt narrative. There are no cut scenes. Instead, the game’s entire story is told through the investigations of the main character as he runs for his life through the labyrinthine halls of the massive building, discovering paperwork, finding clues and occasionally talking to people. The entire journey is viewed through the lens of a handheld camcorder that can be switched to night vision mode. As you explore the confused interior of the bloody building, trying to survive and piece together what happened, he’s also constantly looking for spare AA batteries to keep the camera's night vision powered.
