Currently playing with two friends. So far, I’m interested in the lore of the patients and less so the gameplay. All I can say is that I’m glad I got this during the PS Halloween sale.

Frustrating
umh...erm..ah... I really don't have enough to pass the 10 word filter. It was just a frustrating forgettable experience

Where's the Challenge? Where's the Fear?
The AI makes this game only just playable. In a game where the AI are the main focus for fear, it really does a great job of pulling one out of the game and into the reality that is extraordinarily exploitable enemies.

Great claustrophobic atmosphere makes the player susceptible to jump scares. The plot can become convoluted near the end when involving WW2 Scientists and ghostly apparitions but it was still very enjoyable.
A fun hide and seek experience and I look forward to the DLC Whistleblower!
7.2 out of 10

I started this game and got to the part where they shut off all the lights and you have to go down to the basement to turn on the generators.
I think this game might be sneakily awful and just hiding behind jump scares and atmosphere to protect it from actual criticism.

SO far this game is an embodiment of every trope I despise about the "Hide in Closet" genre of games (It's not survival horror don't try that with me.) It may end up being slightly better than Amnesia when this is all said and done but man this game is weaksauce...nothing but checkpoints and jumpscares 2 hours in.

The deluxe edition is free for another day or so on the humble store.

Don't Get Too Scared
Pretty great horror game. Really nice atmosphere that stays creepy the whole time. I can't really say that the story was all that impressive, with a few exceptions, but regardless its a good game. Im a lot more interested in the new one coming out though because I like the setting more.

Bought this during the PS Halloween sale. It is a lot of fun, though I wish the enemy design was more inventive and the gameplay didn't resort to having to activate multiple switches (pumps, valves, etc.) before being able to activate a main switch so often. Still, nothing gets the adrenaline pumping quite like a good chase. I love that …

Still, nothing gets the adrenaline pumping quite like a good chase. I love that you are able to look over your shoulder while you run. It is incredibly impractical, but it's a fun idea. The FP perspective through a camcorder was a great idea. I will definitely check out the Whistleblower DLC after I finish this.

Just started playing Whistleblower. I remember why it took me so long to get the DLC. Despite the horrible ending to Outlast, Whistleblower sucked me right back in, making up for it by recreating that feeling of dread every step I take. I definitely find myself hiding in a locker just to catch my breath.
