TO ANYONE WHO CARES, please read my comment in its entirety! - I’d like to start by stating I absolutely love the ending. I agree with some of the early points in the video about how it is a brilliant first play through that doesn’t hold up after that, but I don’t mind this as, most movies, even good ones, have this same 2nd viewing problem. Second- this game absolutely has the best soundtrack, overall premise, intro scene (the Prologue) and imo, the most unique creature design. Tailoring each demon to the causes of death was genius instead of “generic alien creature” or “werewolves”. So the game from a creation perspective deserves immense praise. Third, I understand that considering it’s a game where you fight to keep your characters alive, it’s frustrating to see that it’s technically for nothing, but the characters aren’t necessarily supposed to be relatable protagonists like the ones from house of ashes. The ENTIRE game in my opinion, is an exploration of grief and trauma. Although some may not like it, it deserves props for trying something extremely unique as opposed to the bland and predictable stories of The Quarry, Man of Medan and Devil in Me. Little Hope also has really interesting side stories such as the downfall of the town, and Meghan likely being groomed by the priest. I know I’m in the minority, but I will always hold this game as my favorite entry just ahead of HoA! And I mean cmon…. The Curator is at his best in this entry and he’s just so so fun to hear from! - Lastly, I like your retelling a lot! I personally enjoyed Will Poulter as the protagonist but your retelling was awesome! I especially LOVED your ideas about the realities bleeding together and outfits changing here 1:27:13

This has nothing to do with nothing but (39:17) You're playing Coraline music behind Outlast?

16:28 Me to the unsupervised kid at the playground

Just starting the video, but I think at its root, outlast is about government corruption. Especially when it's all based off of MK ultra.

They balled hard when they made the Outlast trials. "hey let's make a fantasy video game about MKUltra lmao"

There's a point during what you said about Emma that I think I realized why there are so many characters. Or at least why some of them exist in the way that they do. Emma taking the picture. It seems inconsequential because the other counselors already know about werewolves. But it isn't, because that's one of the things that you need to do in order to get the good ending. So that they don't all go to jail or at least get questioned because no matter what you do Kaylee Hackett is dead and more than likely there are others dead too like some of the Hackett family. So stuff explaining that what they saw was real is necessary. Maybe you point this out later on (I'm still towards the end of Emma's part) but that's my thought. And obviously they could have handed some of that to other characters and pared down the cast a bit, but my guess is they might've already had people and signed contracts and so had to work with what they had.

I expected more horror from Outlast Trials but instead it felt too close to Dead by daylight.

based riders on the storm music in the background, guess i'm going to play underground 2 now

"I dont know why the usa let him do any of this..." LOL HAUAHUAHAUAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHA

The fact that the USA hasn't been internationally sanctioned for even thinking about MK ultra, let alone committing experiments for years is one of the great injustices of this world.

Will u review the Outlast Comics ?

Are you planning on making a video about the remake?

Soooo....how long until the 3 hour Signalis breakdown...I mean, uh, analysis...

outlast is my special interest, and I loved this analysis of the games. Subbed instantly thank you!,!!!

i expected kany things from this skibidi jumpscare wasn't one of them

heya! you know the drill, haven't touched a lick of the franchise but more than willing to yap. i found the religion aspect to be the most intruiging. then again, i did grow up in a cult (technically still am in one, but dw i've made efforts to ensure my safety for now). however, even with my background, i do like to see the differences between religious institutions and actual faith. religion, faith in its pure form, has always been a place for the hurt to gather. it mends the wounds left there by violence. that's why cults are so dastardly. faith and religion, whether you believe in god, science or love, has always been here to mend. twisting it into something so ugly further outlines the corruption of power. over the course of this year i have begun realizing just how deep the cult has affected me. i will undoubtedly find more the more i look inward. however, i have also learned to separate it from god, or really, love. i think that's one of the functioning parts of this. how love and power can never be in the same room. they oppose each other. none of these characters had experienced the love that they were supposed to, and instead what they experienced was power, or rather the lack of it. of course, as you mentioned, hurt people don't actually hurt others. but they do hurt themselves when they're unable to leave power for love. all this sappy shit to say, good essay and a great game series that forces us to look at the world and question what we'll choose: love or power. i'll keep choosing love, even if it kills me. though i'll certainly need to keep practicing, i'm not quite good at it yet, but i'd rather die trying to love than live continuing to hate. sincerely, an anonymous canadian university student ps. hearing "father martin" jumpscared me because i have a character in one of my stories named that. his name is martín flores, and he is a sweet, oblivious priest who used to be part of a punk band 🫶

heyyy guess who hasn't played these games? me! and for once, i can actually say i am not planning in playing them ever! mainly because i'm a little bitch baby with no braincells 🫶 these hard games aren't for me. however! they are very interesting. i always find conversations around knowledge to be intruiging. who gets to decide what is considered true knowledge and what isn't. who is honored and who is ridiculed. all so very fun. personally, for a post-logic world, it would be fun to be a krishnamurti figure rise out of its ashes. not necessarily because he was around during the peak of it. but because his ideas of freedom would be a further break away from the divine! anyways, great video as always. i'm sure the footage was a pain and a half to get. keep up the great work, man. ps. i think my soul would be shaped either as a little raccoon or a crow. i like shiny things, but i've also been described as slightly mischevious. i have no idea why, i'm an utter delight 🫶 either way, have a lovely day! sincerely, that anonymous university student from canada

I'm shocked to hear the writer for House of Ashes has not done more scripts for games or films.. What gives?

Jason & Salim were easily the standouts. I loved their arc.

Thank you Karrum ❤️

You said "Skibidi Joilet" like it was no big deal and I almost thought that was his actual name.

Something to note on Jonestown. Often it is portrayed as the members willingly engaging in the drinking of poison. This isn't remotely truly. We can't know for sure exactly how many, but it is likely that as many people were forced to consume the poison as drank it willingly. The idea that it was just mass self harm is a common myth. At the end, things were breaking down and a growing number were becoming skeptical of his leadership. You don't start to have armed guards and such because people are listening to you...

"I don't why the US government let him do all this" the answer is right there: communists are scary! So we have to be scarier than the commies!

6:42 you thought you were slick weren't you?

i didnt care for mike at the beginning of the game but he became my favorite throughout the story

Mf said that game is over a decade old and at that very moment... holy shit im so fuckjng old...

The hallucinations in outlast 2 were caused by the radio towers that were near the religious town

The government let him do it cuz the people in charge of it are no better

Small thing, punishment is NOT negative reinforcement, its just punishment. Negative reinforcement is the removal of something unpleasant, where as positive is the giving of something pleasent. Think like, a baby negativity enforces their parents by stopping their crying. Punishment is its own, third thing.

Hey! Commenting just because I was recently looking into deindividuation. Not in a "you got it wrong" way (because you didn't, necessarily) but "you might be interested to know" way. The theory of deindividuation has transformed over the years, initially about why people exhibit violent behaviour in crowds. Zimbaro related his Prison experiment to deindividation in the exact way that you described it. However, there was a lot of criticism about that theoretical basis of deindividation (specifically if it is the crowd/anonymity itself that causes violence, and if it has to be violence that is caused, and also how the theory ignores sociopolitical context). Ultimately, the most recent theory of deindividation is actually how in groups, with an increase in factors like anonymity and group salience, people act less as their "individual identity" and more as "their group identity", exhibiting behaviour that they believe the group they're in endorses. e.g. If a person is in a friend group that smokes, they will smoke regardless of personal values (due to various factors, not necessarily peer pressure). To use the theory of deindividuation with Murkoff, it's accurate to say that while experiencing group salience (hightened identification with group) and anonymity (specifically from punishment from outside the group) employees in Murkoff align to what they see as the norms/ideals of Murkoff over their own norms/ideals and performing related beahviour. In this case, backstabbing and violence. Deindividation is not the only explination for aligning to group ideas, and is different from obedience in that no one has to put pressure on a person to exhibit group behaviours. Also different from behaviourism (operant conditioning) as there doesn't have to be punishment/reinforcement. Functionally the same as what you were describing, but a significant difference in the theoretical description of deindividuation, and also has different and more well-explained reasoning/causes behind it. If you're interested, lmk. Also, MertKayKay just did a video about The Outlast Trials and how they are a satire of facism. A different lens to yours but also a great video about what Outlast (the trials specifically) are about.

I’m SO happy we got an extra ending in the remake and we can save Josh

Yes.

I remember when Outlast Trials was revealed and everyone was pissed it was multiplayer and not Outlast 3 lol. I love Outlast lore and all but I got 10-15 hours out of 1 and 2. I already have 100+ hours on Trials, that replay value and story we get fed in tiny bits is so nice imo.

The game is about exposing unsafe and hazardous mental institution then they realize that was only the tip of the iceberg the second one was like a documentary crew that was shot down then finds a crazy cult the multiplayer one I haven’t got to yet but the other two were really good I mean of course the game is way deeper then that both of em but that’s kind of how it fools you into thinking it’s not nearly as bad as it really is. Imo I’m not the dev but that’s the vibes I got from em.

Somehow I missed all of UA-cam talking about this game, because I knew nothing about it! But your thoughts on it were really interesting, and I learned a lot. I thought it was really cool how it was based on real horror and real psychological experiments.

This video got recommended to me and I absolutely love your research abilities and the way you flow through your ideas! Such great work and the nuance of seeing how the outlast environment is a place of control in and outside the experiments is such a smart remark! Really enjoyed your video! 👍

I got to see the original outlast being filmed live when they shot the chase scenes for the game. They filmed at the former Buffalo state hospital in the fall of 2012, which has since been converted into an expensive hotel.

Considering a PaIestinian man was literally sodomized to death by the lDF in their systematic mass rape of prisoners, playing this game recently made me wonder how far their tortures actually go in their creativity. I know there is some guy trapped in a room being fed psychedelics being forced to watch gore who is also being mutilated and made a sex slave.

So all in all... The game is shit

It's so insulting to have the perpetrators write stories where their victims are forgiving but also partially responsible, even the worst iraqi doesn't compare to the best us soldier. Imagine nazis writing a story about a camp guard and a prisoner becoming friends lol. How stupid.

I'm a bit older than most of the commenters (based off everyone saying they were children when outlast came out) and as an older horror girlie it was SUCH a huge hit amongst my friends. Whistleblower in particular made a big wave amongst my friends + other online girls because it was SO funny to see gamer dudes freak out over Eddie. He felt so transgressive and fun because Waylon goes through a horror girl arc. A lot of the tropes he faces are shit final girls go through-- threats of SA, loss of body autonomy, marriage/birthing horror etc etc it was very thrilling and novel. I was honestly sad they pivoted back to putting it on a female character in Outlast2-- which was fine, but didn't hook me to the same extent as 1 did. I had written off Trials all together and just held Outlast 1 + Whistleblower close to my heart, but after watching this I think I should give it and 2 another chance. I loved the essay and Outlast is one of my favorite games. Listening to other people talk about it is always a joy!
