Outlast's most interesting mechanic, and Upshur's only tool, is an old-fashioned camcorder. It's a moment of obvious artifice, but you'll still find that it gets your pulse racing. Alternatively, you could hide in a locker or under a bed, though if an opponent suspects you're in the room they'll start searching all the other hiding spots around you. Light - or the lack thereof - plays an important role in Outlast. Fortunately, you do have a few evasive manoeuvres at your disposal.īreak the line of sight with your pursuer and you can hide in a dark corner. Your only options are to run away or hide.
Here, though, even an ordinary stooge can end you in a couple of successive strikes, with no hope of retaliation.
It kind of resembles the old 'Nemesis' system from many of the Resident Evil games, whereby an implacable foe stalks you across a whole game. The difference between Outlast and most other survival horror games is that you're completely defenceless against the crazed inmates and pumped up abominations that lurk within the asylum walls.
