The Spanish movie (if you haven't seen it, please do so) seems to have been an obvious inspiration, not just for the visual effect, but for the behavior of the enemies.Īs previously mentioned, using the camera in night mode consumes battery. The effect of this mode is fantastic and creates terrifying situations. So the night vision camera is of particular importance. The only situation where you must pay attention is when the night vision is active, as it's then that the battery will drain.

Having the camera active will not impose any penalty, nor does it affect Miles' movement.

Players can have the camera equipped at all times: the only thing that changes when compared to normal vision is the presence of more elements on the screen, such as battery life and other similar information. The only accessory that he can use is his camcorder, which includes night vision and is essential to surviving this nightmare. Miles does not have access to any weapons in the game. The entire game takes place in the first-person perspective, but it's not a shooter. The protagonist is Miles Upshur Outlast, a journalist who decides to investigate what went wrong in an American asylum. No, instead you will find an extremely intimate experience, with a bold concept and genuinely scary moments. Here you won't find huge monsters, spectacular action sequences, and the production values of a summer blockbuster. Outlast is one of those games, coming from the disturbed minds of the folks over at Red Barrels. The few games that are still trying to hold on to that original concept can be counted with the fingers on one hand, and almost all were born as independent projects. The genre has seen a transformation over the current console generation, with the concept of survival horror shifting to something much closer to action.
