So, I bought it for myself and have since beaten it (in several terrified sittings) but the question has always remained in my head, why did I want to play that again? Why did I want to feel that terror? I had to put down the controller soon after that, but after that experience I just could not get the game out of my head. We played the game together in his dark basement and about 5 minutes into the game, the first time I had to open a door in fact, I screamed involuntarily for the first time in my adult life. More recently Outlast was brought to my attention by a friend. Slenderman is always following you, turning corners becomes a constant source of anxiety and the game is truly terrifying to play alone in the dark. Despite its simplicity the game does a wonderful job of building atmosphere. It was a simple enough premise, walk around the woods collecting notes and avoiding the monster known only as Slenderman. What really got me started in the genre was the indie game called Slender that became popular my freshman year of college. As I got older I began to seek out more and more scary movies, and most recently video games. When I was little I used to love watching old black and white creature features. It has been a life long love affair for me and the horror genre. Many of people would never pick up a game like Outlast in the first place, but for some of us we just can’t resist. Why don’t you just put the controller down, or play a different game? You know that whatever is in there is going to be terrifying, so why go in?įor many people those questions would never have to be asked.
You are completely alone, you have no weapons and no idea what could be inside the asylum. You don’t know much about it, only that you have been sent here to investigate rumors of unspeakable experiments done on the patients. You drive around a corner and there it is, Mount Massive Asylum.
It is a windy dark night, you can’t see anything except what is illuminated by your headlights. You drive up the side of a mountain on a long, winding dirt road.
