So, there I was, just wandering around the PlayStation Store — which, by the way, is having this mad sale called “Next Level Savings” or something. And they’re seriously hyping these indie games. I mean, some discounts are wild. Up to 75% off, they say. Anyway, this horror game, Outlast, caught my eye. People claim it’s one of the creepiest ever. Personally, I get spooked way too easily so… yeah, not sure about that.
Okay, picture this: you’ve got Outlast sitting on the PS Store for just $4.99 right now. Yeah, you heard me. Normally, it’s about $19.99, but who doesn’t love a good bargain? But just a heads-up, this deal’s gone by May 29, 2:59 a.m. ET. So, if you snooze, you lose. Classic, right?
The game’s all set in these remote Colorado mountains — Mount Massive Asylum (fitting name, isn’t it?). So, there’s this mystery about Murkoff Corporation running the place all hush-hush. What were they thinking?
Anyway, our hero, journalist Miles Upshur, busts in after hearing some anonymous tip. What he finds is… well, kind of a chaotic mash of science and religion, and honestly, who knows what else. His only way out? Facing the truth buried deep within Mount Massive. Yeah, no thanks, I’m good.
For those who dare and actually like Outlast, there’s this DLC called Whistleblower. It’s like a prequel and a sequel — if that makes any sense. No discount on this one though. It’s $8.99. So quick math here: you’re spending about $13.98 for the whole shebang. You might call it a steal. Or not — I don’t know.
Back when Outlast first came out in 2013, the critics kinda loved it. On Metacritic, it snagged an average score of 80. Not too shabby, right? Seems folks were into it.
So, there you go. If you’re into heart-pounding, spine-tingling games, maybe check this one out. Or don’t. Up to you.
