Outlast

Outlast is a first-person survival horror game starring investigative journalist Miles Upshur. After receiving an anonymous tip, Miles breaks into Mount Massive Asylum, a remote facility in the Colorado mountains, to investigate its terrible secret. He must find a way to escape with the truth at the heart of the asylum.

Mount Massive Asylum

Once a long-abandoned home for the mentally ill, the asylum has recently reopened under the Murkoff Corporation’s “research and charity” branch. It has been operating in strict secrecy. Inside, Miles encounters horrors that blur the lines between science and religion, nature and something else.

Survive the asylum

Miles is no fighter, so survival means running or hiding. You use stealth and parkour-inspired platforming to move through the facility and avoid its inhabitants. Enemies are unpredictable, and you cannot know when or where one will catch up with you.

The game’s setting and characters draw inspiration from real asylums and cases of criminal insanity. Its world is presented with detailed graphics, and its horror centers on the idea that the most terrifying monsters come from the human mind.
