So, here’s the thing. I stumbled across this PlayStation sale—yeah, I know, probably should have been doing something else, but who cares. Anyway, they’re throwing this indie game bonanza, slashing prices like crazy. Like, up to 75% off! Some real gems in there. And, okay, one game totally grabbed my attention: Outlast. Supposedly scarier than… well, anything, if you’re into that kind of heart-pounding horror stuff.
So get this, Outlast is going for just $5 on the PS Store right now. Wait, let me do the math—75% off from the usual $20 price tag, not bad right? But heads up, this deal’s like Cinderella, vanishing into thin air after May 29 at like, crack-of-dawn o’clock. Quick tip: don’t snooze on this one.
Picture this: you’re in Colorado, alone in the sticks with Mount Massive Asylum glaring down at you. It’s this creepy joint for the mentally ill—because, of course, it had to be an asylum. Anyway, some shady corporation reopens it under the guise of “research,” but who buys that? Apparently, Miles Upshur, this journalist dude, gets a tip-off and breaks in. What he finds? Yeah, let’s just say it’s not a vacation spot. Science clashing with religion, or something weirder lurking around. Feels like one of those nightmares you can’t wake up from.
And for those who can’t get enough, there’s DLC called Whistleblower, wrapping up the main game in a neat (or bloody) bow. Not on sale, though—runs about $9. So, base game plus DLC, you’re looking at around $14 total. Hey, not too shabby for a pants-wetting horror extravaganza.
Oh, and did I mention Outlast hit the scene in 2013 and critics actually liked it? Metacritic scores and all that jazz, it pulled an 80 from 59 reviewers. Not that numbers really mean anything when you’re too busy hiding under your couch.
Anyway, worth checking out if you love a good scare. Or just need a new way to raise your blood pressure!
