Outlast

2013 Red Barrels

Hell is an experiment you can't survive in Outlast, a first-person survival horror game developed by veterans of some of the biggest game franchises in history. As investigative journalist Miles Upshur, explore Mount Massive Asylum and try to survive long enough to discover its terrible secret... if you dare.

Outlast
HORROR CENTRALITY
92 /100

Outlast is designed as a pure survival horror experience where fear, suspense, imminent threat, and the need to hide and escape define normal gameplay. Combat is intentionally non-existent or minimized, and the core player objective is to survive the asylum’s horrors, not to defeat monsters. Therefore horror centrality is high.

DREADPICK SUMMARY
HIDE & SURVIVE

Best for players looking for a very scary, high-tension, atmosphere-heavy, stealth-focused and light on combat horror experience.
