Hey Quester Wassup? Lately, I've been playing Outlast 2, and trust me, it is horrifying! It was released in 2017 by Red Barrels, is a first-person psychological horror game that will leave you questioning reality. It's the successor to the critically acclaimed Outlast, but takes players on a completely new journey, this time into the desolate wilderness of Arizona.

Story - Chasing Shadows in the Desert:

You take on the role of Blake Langermann, an investigative journalist alongside his wife Lynn. Following a tip about the gruesome murder of a pregnant woman, they find themselves in a helicopter crash. Separated from Lynn, Blake awakens amidst the wreckage, driven to find his wife. His search leads him to Temple Gate, a secluded town shrouded in secrecy. Here, a cult led by the enigmatic prophet Sullivan Knoth thrives on apocalyptic beliefs and disturbing rituals.

Outlast 2 isn't your typical gorefest. The horror is psychological, slowly building a suffocating atmosphere of dread. Grotesque imagery, disturbing sounds, and the constant threat from deranged cultists all work together to make you feel vulnerable and utterly alone. The fragmented narrative adds another layer of unease. Through scattered documents, cryptic visions, and environmental details, you piece together the mystery of the cult, the town's dark secrets, and even Blake's own troubled past.


The Gameplay of Outlast 2 is a survival horror at its core. You won't find any weapons here. Your only defense is stealth and your trusty night vision camera. This camera isn't just for navigating the dark; it allows you to uncover hidden messages and lore that shed light on the story. Be warned, some of the sights you'll see through the lens are truly horrifying.
