Det uudholdeligt skræmmende Amnesia: Dark Descent fra 2010 har langsomt men sikkert genstartet horror-genren. Efterfølgeren er på vej - vi kommer med en trailer senere i dag - og Slenderman-spillet benyttede lignende skræmmemetoder hen over sensommeren. Nu kommer det næste bud på et overordentligt skræmmende spil, Outlast. Vi har en fire minutter lang video fra spillet, der burde kunne få dine små nakkehår til at rejse sig. Sluk lyset og skru op for højtalerne, ellers er stemningen ikke rigtig. Bliver det for uhyggeligt, skal du dog bare tænke på, hvor dum hovedpersonen egentlig er. Han burde jo have vendt om og sprintet ud af sindssygeanstalten i stedet for at gå dybere ind i den mareridtsagtige anstalt. Traileren ligger begravet under nyheden. Se den hvis du tør. Spillet er forresten lavet af det nye firma Red Barrels, der består af folk med erfaring fra Prince of Persia, Assassin's Creed, Splinter Cell og Uncharted. Det lyder ikke så ringe endda! Outlast bliver en herlig PC-eksklusiv titel, der kan hentes ned engang i 2013.

MONTREAL - October 31,2012 - Red Barrels, the independent developers of survival-horror PC title Outlast, today revealed shocking direct footage of the happenings within Mount Massive Asylum, a facility owned by the Murkof Corporation. The footage, sent by an anonymous source, was accompanied by a message from the investigative reporter who captured the video, Miles Upshur. His note has been published in its entirety below:

I’m risking my life stopping to write this, but the world has to know what I’ve found. I am currently inside Mount Massive, a supposedly abandoned asylum in Colorado, and I’ve stumbled across an atrocity I can’t put into words. The Murkof Corporation is in the middle of creating something unthinkable here—a malevolence that humanity has yet to experience. I fear for my life, and for mankind, because of what I’m witnessing.

Video of everything I’ve seen so far can be found on this tape. I need to find my way out of this complex, but fortunately I have what I need to capture more footage in the meantime… as long as my camera power lasts, at least. If you find this note, please spread this video and share the truth. They must be stopped.
