A 2013 first-person survival horror game by Red Barrels in which investigative journalist Miles Upshur infiltrates the violent Mount Massive Asylum.
Concept
Outlast strips combat from the survival horror formula. The player can only run, hide, and document the asylum’s horrors through a handheld camcorder with night-vision mode that drains battery.
Atmosphere
Found-footage cinematography and an industrial sound design gave Outlast a reputation as one of the most stressful horror games of its generation. The Whistleblower DLC added a parallel protagonist.
Legacy
Outlast sold over four million copies and established Red Barrels as a major horror studio. Outlast 2 in 2017 and the cooperative spin-off The Outlast Trials in 2024 expanded the franchise.
