Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Independent journalist Miles Upshur breaks into Mount Massive Asylum for the Criminally Insane, which had been recently reopened by the transnational Murkoff Corporation, after receiving information from an inside source. Expecting a controversial scoop, Miles soon finds himself inside a horrible nightmare he could never imagine.Outlast is a Survival Horror game released for Steam on September 4, 2013 with a version for the PlayStation 4 released on February 5, 2014, and an Xbox One version released on June 26, 2014. You control a Non-Action Guy with no combat options aside the ability to parkour his way over obstacles, hide in lockers and under beds, and cut off pursuers amongst the decrepit hallways of the facility. As an added mechanic, Miles has a camcorder with a Night-Vision Goggles mode, which is useful in the asylum's many pitch-black sections but requires batteries to operate.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })An expansion pack, Whistleblower, was released on April 6, 2014. It follows Waylon Park, the inside source that tells Miles about Mount Massive, and takes place during the takeover of the asylum and after the events of the main game. Like Upshur, Park isn't physically equipped to handle the inmates and must run and hide while using a camcorder to see in the dark.The game was followed by: Outlast The Murkoff Account (2016) - An comic book series expanding on the games' universe. Outlast II (April, 2017) - A sequel, this time set in an Arizona cult town rather than the asylum. The Outlast Trials (2021) - A co-op multiplayer game set in the Cold War.

Another Side, Another Story: This DLC shows the events near the beginning of the story from the point-of-view of a different person named Waylon Park and his journey through the events of the asylum outbreak.

Crazy Sane: Arguably, Miles is this by the end. Even up to the last moment, he retains his faculties and remains somewhat coherent and empathic even to Chris' death, not unlike someone who just ran through a war zone. Chris Walker is implied to be this trope - he is sane enough to know how to stop the Walrider, but he is committing murder.

I am a Humanitarian: Frank Manera, a.k.a. 'The Cannibal.' Before first laying eyes upon Manera, himself, Waylon is treated to the sight of a soup pot of human limbs boiling in blood, before turning the corner, and seeing Frank digging ravenously into a whole human. If the player chooses to look closer in on what he's doing, they can see him biting the corpse and drawing blood.

comment
Religion of Evil: Implied. It seems that the pastor and a few of the inmates refer to the Walrider like it's a god. Namely the second coming of Christ, since the pastor quotes from The Bible. A good portion of the inmate population listens to the Pastor. Even the Twins acknowledge that the Father said Upshur was not to be killed. Granted, they don't obey that command for long but do give Upshur a "head start".

Diabolus ex Machina: Waylon is denied from freedom a mockingly large amount of times. The most notable ones include when he is cut off from contacting 911 in the prison by Blaire (thankfully a Deus ex Machina saves Waylon), when he falls into the Vocational Block, and when he is dragged back into the very same block by Gluskin right after finding the key to the male ward.

It Only Works Once
 Outlast / Videogame / int_20e6a6e7
comment
It Only Works Once: Doors are probably the best defense against enemies; since enemies can't physically open them for some reason and have to break them down, giving you good enough time to hide or escape. Sadly, when an enemy breaks it down, you can't use the door again. Some of the special enemies later on in the game can open doors though. While this means that they can still be used, it also gives you less time to escape.

Extremely Short Timespan: The entire game takes place over a single night - the DLC expands on this and reveals that it occur over a period of less than twelve hours. If you look at the clock in the room where you obtain the Variant Postmortem document, you can see it is 03:53am. The clock in the very first room you arrive in says 8:55pm. By the time you die, it's presumably just around 4 am. You're only in the Asylum, as Miles at least, for just over eight hours!

Mountaintop Healthcare: The game is set in the Mount Massive Asylum, and though you don't get much of an external view of the surrounding area, documents confirm that this is indeed a mountain. Plus, the facility was meant to take full advantage of the isolation an alpine locale could offer - which naturally backfires when the inmates break out.

Darkness Equals Death: Mostly inverted — dark areas are common, not necessarily locations with enemies, and always to your advantage, since you have a camera with an infrared flashlight and lens, while your enemies have to use their eyes. The one time you lose the camera, you discover that the darkness you've been having to avoid is full of enemies the moment you regain it.

Depraved Bisexual: Averted. Gluskin goes after male victims, but he sees them as women (referring to his victims as "the fairer sex," using misogynistic slurs, and telling one patient that he's "like a little girl again" after shaving him) and attempts to force them to have his children. He's still lucid enough to realize there are certain obstacles to his intentions, but he has a straightforwardly "cutting" solution to that.

Create Your Own Villain: Sort of. Eddie Gluskin, a.k.a. the Groom, the unique stalker who you have to deal with in the final section of the DLC, is actually the patient who was begging you for help at the beginning of the game before being dragged off, put into the Engine, and turned into an insane monster. To be fair, if you had tried to intervene at that point, the only thing you'd have accomplished would have been taking a bullet to the back of the head.Downplayed in that he barely remembers where and when he saw you and just brushes it off as just another memory before 'waking up'. On top of that, the Morphogenic Engine did little to change his M.O. (the mutilation and murder of women), it just gave him a delusion that caused him to see Waylon (and every other male unfortunate enough to come into contact with him) as a potential bride.

Invincible Boogeymen: The game leaves the player at the mercy of opponents who cannot be fought, only evaded; as the intro reminds you, you're not a fighter - and the fact that many of your opponents are unnaturally strong or heavily armed doesn't help. Chris Walker and the Walrider are arguably the purest examples.

Found Footage Films: Gives off this vibe, since you'll spend a good chunk of the game looking through your camcorder. It helps that everything you'd expect from a camera like that — the amount of time you've spent recording, a little flashing "REC" icon, a battery readout, and so on — appears somewhere on the screen. You can even crack it.

Character Development: Happens throughout the various notes by Upshur the player collects. Miles starts out as resolute in investigating the asylum, and is shaken, but brave against most of the things he sees in the beginning. By the middle, he is more unhinged and aggressive towards the enemies he faces, and at the end he's been driven nearly insane by the things he has seen, and is content with his belief that he will die soon.

Deus ex Machina: Quite a few. When Blaire is on the verge of killing Waylon in the prison, Walker comes out of nowhere and unintentionally stops the murder. At the end of the game, Blaire's murder of Waylon is interrupted again, this time intentionally and fatally, by the Walrider. Beforehand, when Gluskin's buzz-saw is a hair away from castrating a bed-restrained Waylon, a random variant punches Gluskin and sends the bed flying out of the saw's path. Before any of this, Waylon is able to escape from meeting a fiery death at the hands of Frank because the wall was just weak enough for him to kick a hole through.

Some time later, he is preparing to upload his video of what Murkoff has been doing to the public, but his mysterious benefactor (an Expy of WikiLeaks) warns him that once he uploads the video, Murkoff will bring their full wrath down upon him, the life he has will be over, and his loved ones will suffer for it. He still chooses to upload the evidence of everything that happened to the internet, irrevocably damaging the company responsible. However, the people looking after him make it clear that they won't be able to protect him and his family from the company's full wrath, and you know that Miles's story comes next. Also, as Miles is not only still alive, but has escaped the asylum, the Walrider is now loose upon the world, with all the apocalyptic consequences that suggests. Though, the ending also implies that, as savagely violent as it was, the Walrider ultimately wasn't interested in causing The End of the World as We Know It or anything of that nature. This may have to do with it merging with Miles Upshur, as indicated by his brief appearance during Waylon's escape.

Villainous Rescue
 Outlast / Videogame / int_446c5792
comment
Villainous Rescue: Chris Walker doesn't directly save Waylon from Jeremy Blaire, but his sudden presence nearby is enough to scare Blaire off before he can finish choking Waylon to death. A random patient saves Waylon at the last moment from the Groom, who was a second away from chopping off his genitals to make him his bride. Maybe. If it was the same patient who warned you about the Groom in the first place, then it's just a typical rescue. At the very end of the game, the Walrider appears to save Waylon from Corrupt Corporate Executive Jeremy Blaire, who was about to kill Waylon to prevent the truth about the asylum from coming out. However, given that Miles is still alive and may actually be controlling the Walrider, this could also be a Big Damn Heroes moment.

I Have a Family: Waylon has a wife and two sons. Jeremy Blaire, the Murkoff executive managing Mount Massive, actually gleefully looks forward to destroying them financially, legally, and possibly even physically should they continue to seek answers regarding Waylon's involuntary commitment to the asylum. Lisa is noted to have said several "uncharitable things" about Jeremy and Murkoff. Seems Waylon married a woman just as likely to survive as he is!

Downer Ending: Miles manages to kill the Walrider's host, and starts to make his way out of the base before being stopped by a squad of soldiers, who shoot him. As the game cuts to black, it's revealed that the Walrider has possessed Miles, who then murders the squad and is implied to begin The End of the World as We Know It. Fortunately, the DLC slightly changes this to instead make a Bittersweet Ending.

Wham Shot: The game starts out from the perspective of the man who sent Miles the original e-mail in the original game, and gives us a first hand look at the outbreak. Later, a 12 hour transition occurs when Waylon is captured and put to sleep by the Groom. After Waylon escapes him, looking out a window in the next hallway shows the burning church where Father Martin set himself on fire—showing that what started out as a prequel is now taking place concurrently with the ending of the original game. Time to run. Very quickly. During the ending, Waylon spots a dark shape in the distance and uses the camera to zoom in... revealing Miles, not dead after all, and now fused with the Walrider.

Even the Guys Want Him: Waylon can't catch a breath in regards to this. The doctor at the beginning cops a feel, he gets freed by an inmate that wants to make him "purr", gets complimented by multiple inmates as pretty, Gluskin mentions that he is one of the prettiest "girls". While we never saw what Waylon looks like, he might be a Bishōnen, resulting in every second inmate being sexually attracted to him.

Foreboding Architecture: This along with Suspicious Video-Game Generosity are entirely averted. Just as you don't know which inmates are docile and which will attack, a locker or a bed nearby is no indication you'll actually need it. It again adds to the tension since it doesn't work as a tell to when a murderous lunatic is going to come after you.

He happily exacts revenge on all of the Murkoff security teams and staff, as both overheard via radio chatter and seeing him personally rip Jeremy Blaire to shreds in order to save you. Also, while it's only implied, it's possible that he helped Waylon pull off the sharp O-turn on his truck when he was escaping the asylum.

The future of Waylon and his family. Miles Upshur is alive, and now possessed by an all-powerful demon who took apart an entire military facility. The last we see is him raging into the world just as Waylon makes his escape.

The Cuckoolander Was Right: Richard Trager's monologue seems like the usual mad ramblings of the Asylum's inhabitants, but everything he says is actually true (albeit filtered through a fractured mind). His talk about how money has evolved from something solid, like the gold standard, to "an article of faith" does reflect the current state of modern economics (as the mortgage collapse easily attests), and his talk of "turning the consumer into the means of production" is a succinct description of Dr. Wernicke's research, which alters the cells of a human being's body to becoming nanite factories.

Just Hit Him: Several encounters with Chris Walker have him throwing Miles across the room. While no doubt painful, this is infinitely preferable to him ripping his gizzard out.

Shell-Shocked Veteran: According to the in-universe documents, Chris Walker was originally an ex-military police who spent time in Afghanistan. It's implied that the reason for his being at Mount Asylum to begin with was due to PTSD from his experiences. After his night in Mount Massive, Miles may well be suffering from Acute Stress Disorder, a precursor to PTSD. His Sanity Slippage can be followed by the notes he records over the course of the game.

The Faceless: Miles Upshur's face is never shown, and any attempts to look in mirrors are heavily distorted. Even in promotional art, he's shown only from the neck down. The 3D model of Miles even goes as far as render him to appear headless◊.

Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: Inverted. Almost everyone Miles runs into that aren't already trying to kill him either do nothing to help him at all (Father Martin) or they just screw him over and make things worse for him (again, Father Martin, and Richard Trager). Hell, Rudolf Wernicke, the one person who actually tells Miles the truth and helps him to the best of his ability actually sends a team of soldiers to kill him! Though this last one could just be that Miles is basically dead anyway and Wernicke is just finishing him off.

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero!: Miles killing Billy ultimately led to him getting possessed. The guards shooting Miles is what led to the Walrider escaping. After Miles dies, the Walrider leaves his corpse and slaughters the guards before presumably escaping to the outside world... or so it seems until Whistleblower, which reveals that Miles is still alive and at least partially in control of the Walrider.

Asshole Victim: The DLC shows that the Murkoff staff (or at least those directly involved with Project Walrider) all essentially had the mentality and the methods of Nazi concentration camp doctors and guards. One of the guards almost draws his weapon on Waylon simply because he reacted to one of the patients begging him for mercy. The patients, as insane as they are, do have legitimate reasons for completely tearing them apart once they get loose.

Laser-Guided Karma: The major enemies who try to kill the player character via cutscene are usually killed because of their own actions (or lack of actions because they're so intent on killing the player character). You could argue that most of the Murkoff staff suffer from this trope as well (particularly the "executive" in Trager's Ward who tries to get you captured and killed after motioning you to come towards him).

Made of Iron: Miles survives getting thrown out of a glass window (with cracked ribs as a result), being tossed out of another glass window by an explosion, having two fingers crudely chopped off, and falling ten to twenty feet to a hard concrete floor twice within a few minutes. Even in the end he manages to survive the process of being possessed by the Walrider and only dies (possibly) after being shot point blank by several heavily armed commandos.

As you get close to the exit, you can hear officers downstairs radioing about being under attack with casualties, indicating that Miles has been possessed by the Walrider and is ripping through the cleanup crews.

Manera also seems to have slaughtered quite a few people, given the bodies hanging in the kitchen.

Abandoned Hospital: Sort of. Miles notes that Mount Massive was shut down in the 1970s due to corruption and abuse of patients, but was reopened by Murkoff in 2009. The poor condition of the facility and a recent inmate riot that slaughtered much of the staff gives the impression of abandonment. However, Mount Massive hasn't housed female patients for a long time, so the entire female ward is falling apart and is the most decrepit area in the game.

Super Strength: It's implied the inmates are stronger and tougher than a normal human, due to their cells being altered by Dr. Wernicke's nanotech experiments. They can still be killed, apparently, you just lack the means to do so. In Whistleblower, the second tactical team sent in by Murkoff is able to wipe out the patients fairly easily, so it seems the first team just didn't bring enough firepower.

Dramatic Irony: Towards the end of the game, Waylon looks out a window and sees a burning church. After all the other disturbing things that happened that night, he simply reacts with resignation. The player, however, knows that the church was set on fire towards the end of the base game. Translation: it won't be long before the asylum is swarming with paramilitary soldiers and Miles fuses with the Walrider.

Alas, Poor Villain: Surprisingly, Miles's reaction to Chris Walker's death is this to some degree. It may have helped that Chris was a war veteran with PTSD and Miles's assumption was that, based on Chris' own ramblings, Chris was trying to contain the horrors of the facility, albeit in his own, insane way.

The game starts out from the perspective of the man who sent Miles the original e-mail in the original game, and gives us a first hand look at the outbreak. Later, a 12 hour transition occurs when Waylon is captured and put to sleep by the Groom. After Waylon escapes him, looking out a window in the next hallway shows the burning church where Father Martin set himself on fire—showing that what started out as a prequel is now taking place concurrently with the ending of the original game. Time to run. Very quickly.

Took A Short Cut: It's not really clear how Jeremy Blaire managed to survive through the entire Mount Massive incident while all the other staff besides Dr. Wernicke (who was under the Walrider's protection) ended up being massacred. Especially when you consider Blaire was there at the very beginning of the incident, was running around the place and even ended up confronting Waylon at a couple points, and managed to live up until the very end where he and Waylon are the only two living people left standing.

Too Dumb to Live: Miles deciding to investigate an insane asylum with questionable practices in the middle of the night all by himself with nothing but a camcorder and a notepad. However, he had no idea that the asylum had become a slaughterhouse, even noting that he would have ran like hell if he came across the blood, gore, and bodies strewn about sooner.

Run or Die: Before you even begin playing the actual game, you get a bit of expository text at the beginning, telling you, amongst other things, that Miles cannot physically fight back against anyone and that running and hiding are your only methods of survival. This is also true for Waylon in Whistleblower.

Jump Scare: There are quite a few, some of which aren't so harmless. The very first you'll encounter is when you first head the library; open the door and you'll immediately be greeted by a headless corpse hanging from the ceiling. Early in the game, you're crawling in-between a small passage and Chris Walker grabs you by the arm, pulls you out of the passage, and throws you to the ground floor of the asylum. After Miles messes up his camcorder, his recording will sometimes distort the screen with red and green lines and play a jarring noise of static. When you activate the sprinklers to extingiush the fires blocking your progress, you are suddenly ambushed by the Pyromaniac.

DAMN IT" shortly followed by "Good, now I've got power again and can open the front doors at Security Contr—FUCK! Now he's stealth-tranquilizing me and putting me in a cell! What the hell, man!?" Doctor Trager saves Miles from two inmates only to torture him by himself. "Father Martin finally helped me and now I can get out of this god-forsaken building! Wait, why aren't the elevator doors opening? Why's the elevator going further down?! Damn you, Father Martin!" "Hey, I can see an open door in a cargo hanger with a parked car through this window—and daylight outside! YES! Let me just round the corner and—DAMN IT! Walrider trying to kill me and it tripped the quarantine doors! ARGH!" "Great Miles, you managed to kill the Walrider's host and become the new host, allowing you to escape and preventing it from running amok. Oh hi guards, what are you doing with those guns?"

Bedlam House: Mount Massive Asylum is not a place of healing. It turns out that this is entirely intentional, even critical to the plot: The Morphogenic Engine only kicks in when used on subjects who have experienced/are experiencing extreme emotions only found in horrible living conditions (which is why its first successful use was in the heart of Nazi Germany). Wernicke says it's a way to force the human body to assemble molecules on demand — human-created nanotechnology. Either that or the patients are right and the Walrider is Made of Evil and only manifests in extremely evil conditions. The two theories are not mutually exclusive. Additionally, the Morphogenic Engine seems to run on ''memes" as much as anything. Patients yell cryptic stuff that is surprisingly accurate, like how "THIS is the experiment!" or "What kind of experiment would the dead perform on the living? I'll give you a hint: it's happening right now!" By continuing to do horrible things to each other, and to their former captors, the patients are "spreading" the experiment around. That's why you meet several executives who are just as crazy and mutated as the patients, including Trager and one of his victims. Kind of makes Martin's goal of wanting you to spread the truth all the more sinister, huh?

At the very end of the game, the Walrider appears to save Waylon from Corrupt Corporate Executive Jeremy Blaire, who was about to kill Waylon to prevent the truth about the asylum from coming out. However, given that Miles is still alive and may actually be controlling the Walrider, this could also be a Big Damn Heroes moment.

Non-Action Guy: Miles can't fight off enemies; the most he can muster is an aggressive push, which, due to a patch that removes all of the quick time events, he can't even do in the current game. He can run quite quickly though, and the night vision on his camera lets him have an advantage over all of the inmates he faces. Miles' inability to fight back is actually explained by a document found later in the game, explaining that even in subjects who are not capable of becoming hosts for the walrider, exposure to the morphogenic engine causes a surge in human growth hormone as well as other hormones; every psycho you encounter is effectively on a heavy steroid cycle, and so far from normal mental processes that they are probably using a LOT more than the normal 50% of their muscle strength that a human is normally capable of employing.

Developer's Foresight
 Outlast / Videogame / int_d24ed873
comment
Developers' Foresight: The first time Chris Walker stalks you, you need to hide in a pair of lockers to avoid him. He always checks the locker you didn't hide in, then turns his back on you before leaving. If you switch lockers while his back is turned, he'll turn back around and search the locker you just left. This makes you feel really clever, but actually isn't necessary since he doesn't do this if you don't switch lockers. Later in the game, he will search multiple lockers, though. Late in the game, as you're about to enter the chapel, the two naked Twins will be standing there (they're hostile no more at that point). Until you leave the chapel, you cannot crouch - so you won't even be tempted to look straight into their crotches. When you encounter the Walrider for the first time, you can shut the door in its face as it comes towards you, should you have quick reflexes. The Walrider proceeds to phase through the door and disappear after it gets close to you. When you recover your lost camera, the enemies you suddenly find yourself surrounded by give you enough of a head start that you can shut a door in front of them.

Ambiguously Gay: Rudolf Wernicke worked with Alan Turing, a scientist who laid the foundation for modern computing and was found guilty of being homosexual, tortured with hormone therapy, and committed suicide due to it in the 50s. When reminiscing about his work with him, Wernicke talks about him and regards him like the love of his life. You can also find a document that implies that Wernicke was going to be sent to a concentration camp for his implied homosexual relationship with Turing, before the Nazis decided to force him to work for them.

Tragic Monster: The insane, inhuman patients were all once just normal psychiatric patients (many of whom were nonviolent and some of whom weren't even real patients at all, but rather staff members and civilians who found out too much and were forcibly institutionalized by Murkoff to silence them).

Expy: Eddie Gluskin can be considered the DLC's answer to Dr. Trager. He shares the same tendency of speaking in a polite tone to the protagonist, complete with an inappropriately affectionate nickname. He also mutilates other patients and captures the protagonist in a Controllable Helplessness sequence. Gluskin also tells Park that he's "heavier than you look", much like Trager. Finally he receives a Karmic Death while trying to finish off Park; the notebook says he's "trying not to laugh" at how Gluskin died, similiarly to Miles' dark joke upon Trager's death.

"Psycho" Strings
 Outlast / Videogame / int_e5b75009
comment
"Psycho" Strings: Prominently incorporated into abundant parts of the soundtrack, especially when gore are involved. Trager's and Eddie's respective theme tracks make especially prominent use of them.

comment
Hate Sink: Jeremy Blaire, the slimy corporate dog-kicker, is the closest thing the game really has to a Big Bad, and only ever shows up to make Waylon's night even worse. The variants at least have insanity as an excuse for their homicidal actions, but Blaire? Completely sane, just a repulsive bastard, through and through.

Gameplay and Story Integration: The DLC ends with Waylon uploading a video to the Internet to destroy Murkoff's reputation — the video you just spent the entire DLC filming.

Only a Flesh Wound
 Outlast / Videogame / int_e663d3ef
comment
Only a Flesh Wound: The loss of one finger of each hand does nothing to stop Miles. After he goes through the first bout of excrutiating pain, he acts 100% normal, probably because he's running on pure adrenaline. He doesn't have time to think on anything or process it at all; he's trying not to die!

A random patient saves Waylon at the last moment from the Groom, who was a second away from chopping off his genitals to make him his bride. Maybe. If it was the same patient who warned you about the Groom in the first place, then it's just a typical rescue.

Resignations Not Accepted: One orderly attempted to resign from Mount Massive Asylum when he became suspicious of shady activity going on there, according to an e-mail. He was later institutionalized by Doctor Trager as a permanent patient for supposedly having "persecutorial delusions".

Beware the Nice Ones: Jeremy Blaire writes in a note that he's gone to visit Waylon's family to tell them what's happened to Waylon. Lisa's response is to say "uncharitable things" about him and Murkoff. "Uncharitable things" is implied to be a nice way of saying she told him to "fuck off".

Dark and Troubled Past: Explained through patient reports scattered throughout the asylum, Gluskin's Freudian Excuse for being the insane, misogynistic, mutilating, homicidal maniac that he is is due to him being sexually abused by his father and uncle when he was child. During his ramblings, he at one point says that he wants to be "the father [he] never had."

Evil, Inc.: The Murkoff Corporation. It's implied that basically every higher-up executive is evil by default, and any of their lower employees who grow a conscious are quickly dealt with through a combination of massive legal suits and/or just being outright killed.

Chromosome Casting
 Outlast / Videogame / int_ffb79066
comment
Chromosome Casting: While a "Helen Granat" is mentioned in both games as a member of Murkoff's legal department, there are no on-screen women. It's justified in-game with files explaining the Walrider Project caused terminal phantom pregnancies in both female patients and staff, resulting in a nasty lawsuit, and as a result all women were removed from the project. A note from Blaire to Trager implies that had the Walrider not broken out when it did, they were going to resume experiments on women, as Blaire saw their extremely powerful reactions to being near the Engine as an opportunity for profit and eye-candy.

Everything Trying to Kill You
 Outlast / Videogame / int_ffd816e7
comment
Everything Trying to Kill You: Surprisingly averted. Not all the inmates are violent, and even a few of the violent ones will show no interest in pursuing you. This actually makes exploring the asylum more tense, as it makes dealing with the inmates unpredictable since you never know whether they're going to attack or not.
