Outstand

Outstand is a first-person horror game about rescuing your childhood friend, who is trapped after following a treasure map. You explore connected locations, solve puzzles, watch for dangers and try to survive. The story unfolds in the game world without cutscenes.

Story and characters

Your childhood friend tells you he has found a treasure map and plans to retrieve the treasure, offering to take you along. You are reluctant, but later receive a message saying he is trapped and out of his mind. You must break spells, solve puzzles and save him. Each character has a disturbing life story that connects to the main story, and you must avoid attracting the attention of unwanted beings.

Explore the world

The game begins in a jungle, where a secret passage leads to another universe. You explore gloomy areas including woods and a school, as well as other locations, while trying to discover the source of sounds around you. Each zone has a maze-like layout of rooms and paths, with its own themes, story, puzzles and characters. As you progress, you open new regions and find different skill sets, weapons and items. The places you encounter are interconnected, and objects and events have reasons and purposes for you to uncover.

Survive and investigate

A demon guards a treasure, and you must find a way to break the spell and free your friend. Your actions and resources are limited, so you need to think carefully about when to fight, when to take cover and how your choices affect the world. Different playstyles are needed to make progress. The game uses high-quality images and 3D sound.
