## About Outlast

Outlast is a 2013 survival horror game developed by Red Barrels in which players take on the role of investigative journalist Miles Upshur exploring Mount Massive Asylum. The game features a night-vision camera mechanic as a core gameplay element alongside resource management, with no combat options available to the player. Reviewers highlight the constant tension and panic that defines the experience, and players describe it as dark, stressful, and tense. The absence of weapons forces reliance on stealth and evasion to survive encounters, creating psychological horror rather than action-driven scares. The game holds a 96% positive rating from over 28,000 Steam reviews, is playable on Steam Deck, and is currently priced at $14.99.
