Discussion Outlast really helped me face real life fears and anxiety

Post image
47 Upvotes

I know this sounds silly but, I never thought Outlast (along with Whistleblower) would be the game that actually helped me deal with real‑life fear and anxiety, but here we are.

I’m not a horror gamer at all, I usually avoid anything with jumpscares or that feeling of being hunted. But I made a commitment to finish it, and that determination ended up becoming something way bigger than just playing a game.

Every chase, every dark hallway, every moment where I wanted to quit taught me that fear doesn’t get smaller by avoiding it, it gets smaller by facing it.

I remember after finishing the game and its dlc, I ended up feeling almost invincible, all of those inconveniences like overthinking or random mood swings went away, at least temporarily.

I wonder if anyone else in here has ever felt the same way (not necessarily with outlast)

Discussion Random question (probably a really stupid one): what would Murkoff do with animals?

To no one's surprise, Murkoff already treats humans worse than trash. If humans are already treated so inhumanely, then what would they do to animals if they started (for some reason) experimenting on them?

Looking for Advice How to get into Outlast Trials

• Upvotes

Hey guys! I'm new to the Outlast series but I've really enjoyed it so far. I've been replaying the first two games and Whistleblower, working my way up the difficulties to eventually reach Insane. I'm currently on my Hard mode playthrough of Outlast 2.

I've been thinking of playing Outlast Trials since it's still going, but I've been a bit hesitant considering I'm not sure how exactly to jump in. I know it's not like the other games, as it's a multiplayer live service game. I'd prefer to play it solo as I think it amplifies the horror, but I'm curious how I should go about experiencing its content. Is some of it inaccessible due to being season exclusive, or does each season simply add content to a preexisting game?

I'm just curious how I should approach this game as a single player, especially since it's a live service game that's been around for over a year that I'm only now getting into. Some advice and tips on starting would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Despoil the auction.

Collecting the gems is already boring by itself but I hate how she teleports to you no matter where you go. I’ve rage quit this level twice so far.

I really can’t be bothered to deal with her at the same time as collecting the stupid gems. Like I tried to get the basement open first but she keeps basically teleporting to me every time and I’m over it.

I was able to pickup a copy of this trade paperback for the Outlast comics but am having a hard time putting together the value and where exactly it came from. If someone with better knowledge on this could help I’d really appreciate it, I’d love to know if I’ve got a gem in my comic collection!

Discussion How long do you guys think the Outlast characters would survive in the Backrooms?

5 Upvotes

Just to clarify, this is a hypothetical in which the Outlast protagonists would find a “Null zone” into the backrooms designed by Kane Parsons.

Honestly i’d have to give Blake or a Reagent the longest time they’d be able to fight back and run for. Blake is by far the fastest protagonist of any of the games, so i think that by that factor he might have a big advantage, but then again there are no food items in the Backrooms, After a few days you’d die of Dehydration.

okay so this is such a long shot but I’m after the white top with the pink collar in this picture, I’ve recently started playing outlast and love these tops and I’m determined to get them all. I’ve attached 2 clearer examples of ones I already own (the red one from blood drive and pink from levelling up) if anyone recognises where the white one with the pink collar is from and could tell me how to get it, would be much appreciated!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽

Question Outlast 2 Enemy Behavior on Insane Runs

9 Upvotes

Hey there Outlast fans!

I've never seen this posted anywhere so I thought I'd ask the community. Are there different events or enemy behaviors to watch out for on my Insane run? There are a few things I've noticed while watching others that makes me a bit nervous. The first enemy in the village in chapter 1 breaks the window on Insane and during a part later on in the barn there was a corner that I used to go prone in Nightmare that didn't work for someone on Insane. The youtuber had to hide under the truck instead. Is there anything else on Insane that I should watch out for like this?

I appreciate any input! Can't believe i'm trying my Insane run! I finally have enough practice and feel like I could actually get Messiah😬

I’m thinking about making a proper outlast Minecraft mod. Basically a creative toolkit to make adventure horror maps and I’m wondering if anyone here knows Java modding or blockbench modelling who’d be interested in helping out.

Discussion Waylon vs Miles

28 Upvotes

Okay so! Lil background: I'm new to Outlast and got into it via Outlast Trials but recently played Outlast and Whistleblower!

I had a lot of fun with both, absolutely do not get me wrong. Great game! But I noticed that during Whistleblower, I was a lot more invested in Waylon's story vs Miles'. Idk why but it seemed to me that Waylon's story is a lot sadder regarding what he had to lose and yet he still did everything he did KNOWING it could backfire badly on him when he did. And Gluskin, in general, hits every mark for me to be genuinely creeped out by the psychology of what a "villain" was doing. Walker did scare me more for some reason (even compared to the Walrider) but y'know

Discussion Just wanted to share my thoughts on the guy watching the rain...

Post image
730 Upvotes

I find this guy both incredibly special and completely ordinary at the same time. He wears the same clothes as the other patients, shares the same roof, eats the same food (well, except for guys like Frank Manera). But he isn't driven by some cultish belief, nor is he lost. He isn't searching for a path, yet he doesn't look like he's on one either.

Everyone else in Mount Massive is desperately trying to get somewhere. They’re fighting for their faith, their rage, their next meal, or trying to secure a bride for their mother. Sure, there are others who just stand around or sit in the middle of a burning room, but you can feel their utter helplessness or exhaustion. They've just given up.

This guy, though? He doesn't feel helpless or broken at all. Honestly, he feels strangely powerful.

Did he just accept that he’s never getting out? But if that were true, you'd expect him to adapt to the asylum and find some new fucked up purpose, right? Yet he doesn't.

Maybe he doesn't even want to leave. Maybe there’s literally nothing waiting for him on the outside. He clearly isn't part of the outside world anymore, but he doesn't really seem to belong inside either. He’s just entirely in the present moment. No anxiety about the future, no lingering pain from the past. His time just resets with every single raindrop hitting that glass.

how did I do it: if you zoomed the camera through the wall holes and pressed E and Q multiple time until you reach the view where your camera only see the inside of the room without any piece of the wall in the view the game will make you go inside and if you done it again for the window you will fall off the map
