What players say
Story is better once you understand it fully 7.9/10 + Great story that links into the first Outlast game once you read the lore + The night vision camera experience which is classic Outlast is just so good every time + Soundtrack is good + Characters are interesting and well written - I really hate how open it is, it makes it a bit of a pain to navigate sometimes or know where to go. - Trauma stuff is a little...

The atmosphere is terrifying, the sound design is incredible, and the constant feeling that something is about to go horribly wrong never lets up. If you love horror that actually gets under your skin, this is essential.
i just thought the game was all over the place at times. it was chase scene after school hallucinations and continuing to happen over and over again. the story was confusing but in reality was just FIND LYNN
