## About Outlast 2

Red Barrels returns with this first-person horror adventure set in rural American backwaters. Players investigate a dark sect operating from the isolated community of Temple Gate, a town deliberately severed from civilization. The game emphasizes stealth and observation over combat, as players document the horrors unfolding around them using only a camera with night vision. The 2017 release carries strong gore and violence descriptors alongside psychological horror elements. It achieves approximately 85% positive reception based on over ten thousand Steam reviews and runs at a playable level on Steam Deck. The indie-developed title is available for just under twenty dollars.
