![]() Outlast 2, aka the horror game which features a "charred baby pit", was notoriously hard at launch. Some online stores give us a small cut if you buy something through one of our links. For extra reading, here's what horror game creators think about jump scares. Humble's Outlast 2 sale runs now through tomorrow, April 6 at 10am PST/6pm BST. Huge spoilers within, obviously, but James explores the above in greater detail over here. ![]() It’s fear of the drastic measures people will take to ensure their salvation, the burden of guilt, and whether or not the big guy up top exists and gives a damn.

It’s one of the most bizarre ending sequences I’ve witnessed, tapping into a fear I’ve known since my first week at Sunday school. Long after the final minutes of Outlast 2, I felt queasy, uncertain that what I saw had actually happened. Here's an excerpt from James' 85-scored review, which speaks to the game's rather extreme ending: If you fancy taking on the cult-battling, camcorder-flashing, hide-in-lockers horror venture yourself-you brave thing, you-know that it's on sale on the Humble Store for £7.81/your regional equivalent off until tomorrow. Does the game in question operate a first or third-person perspective? Are we fighting/pegging it from zombies, cultists, government soldiers, supernatural beings or all of the above? Does it let us walk across a charred baby pit-hang on, what?įor me, Outlast 2's tone will be forever captured by Tim's striking post-E3 2016 preview headline, no matter how it dials back its difficulty and/or introduces less hostile story modes. When shopping for horror games, there are a number of things to consider.
