Outlast is Red Barrel's indie horror extravaganza where we find out just how screwed up can your game be and still only receive an M rating on the ESRB. Outlast and Outlast 2 follow the antics of investigative journalists and one very unlucky Whistleblower delving into the dealings of the ever-shady Murkoff Corporation and learning about all the wacky psi-ops stuff going on with Project Walrider.
Come say hi in the Discord, we play games together on Saturday. / discord
So now we've got not one but two Outlast titles on the way in the form of Outlast: Trials, which will hopefully come along next year and then there's the inevitable Outlast 3 which will come out... eventually. Meanwhile we've still got the first two games, the Whistleblower DLC, and the Outlast Comic series, Outlast: The Murkoff Account, which you can read for free on Red Barrel's website over at redbarrelsgames.com/comic-books/

I work in a hospital. I wish they gave us water bottles. All they did with us is deny our bonus and tell us we're heroes
ACTUALLY FOR REAL FUCK THAT. If they really thought you were a hero, they'd give you at least THREE water bottles... And y'know, hazard pay, that previously mentioned bonus, and maybe a restructuring of the shift schedule to allow for extra rest periods in order to avoid Frontline worker burnout.
We can't beat this thing if all the Frontline workers keep collapsing from exhaustion.
THAT IS SUCH BULLSHIT
Sorry my guy.
As soon as this is done with, burn the place down.
@@CharlatanWonder Update, I work for my city's 911 EMS service now. They gave me a primo water bottle as a welcome gift. So in the end it all worked out
@Ares Gianni ok bot
Fun fact: Miles becomes the Walrider after Outlast 1, so he is the one responsible for the ending of 2.
You mean ending of whistle-blower
@@timmythetooth2587 no no he's right in a way because the Walrider is the one that destroys the tower in the end causing that huge ball of fire that we see at the end

Not gonna lie those kazoos look pretty good.
Yeah I know that's why I sprung for them.
I didn't watch the whole video yet, I got to the cooking segment.
Am I a sick person for thinking this was a joke about the game's well rendered penises up till this point?
@THE NEWMAKER a month late but I felt like saying...
Personally I hate overpowered generic children MCs. You get to watch as theyre handed everything to make them busted, you get filler, training montages, crying about friendship and a swingset with a promise to a childhood friend. I don't care for any of that. If you've seen one of the shows that has any of those things, you've seen them all for the most part. Overlord is nice because he is what the name implies much like how OPM is what the name implies. They've did all the building up, they've already had the things to get them to be OP, now we get to see what they do with their hand of cards as opposed to seeing them get dealt (so to speak).
As a side note I seriously hate stories where all the adults are completely incompetent and the kids do everything. I cant stand it.
@THE NEWMAKER did you reply to the wrong comment?
Be honest now, did I get any of you with the joke ad at the 1 minute mark? How many of you paused the video by mistake?
I glanced at it and moved my mouse but stopped myself when I actually read it
i'm mad at you for it but at least you acknowledged it.
you got me you cooking genius
I was watching on Xbox and I have Premium so it couldn't have worked on me.
I almost did it 😂
First I was like, wait, I have ad blocker. And also, do they promote Outlast now?
WAIT TWO GLUSKENS WAS A GLITCH?????? HOLY CRAP I GOT THROUGH THAT PART! I THOUGHT THEY WERE CLONING PEOPLE TOOO!!! I kinda had no time to doubt and just survived..
Oh my goodness
Well congrats you’re a god
Damn son, that's unphucken believable!
Buddyyyyyyy! Congrats
Yeah it’s a glitch lol. If you open the barrier before getting the keys. You spawn two eddies and his theme music plays twice LOOOOOL XD
I’m still surprised to this day that Red Barrels was able to get away with Eddie Gluskin in the Whistleblower DLC.

Chris is always following, always watching, and still needing you to get his sister pregnant so the Redfield lineage can continue.
I’m of the opinion that Whistleblower was the peak of the series.
1 was good for a popcorn slasher experience in video game form, Whistleblower was that, but more condensed, making it better, and 2 *tried* to be a good sequel, but the level design just didn’t work with the gameplay they had. The school sections were cool, though. Shame they’re the least important parts of the story.
Well it’s a good horror game when not compared to the original outlast game
2 would have been alright, something new in the series but it's too linear and the fact that the whole story of it revolves around one little note that you can find in the first one was a big mistake
bunnymouth not to mention the fact that in order to understand the sequel u need to read a comic that average players have never heard of. Not shitting on Red Barrel but it wasn’t a smart move to have such important lore in a comic that not many people have heard of
The school sections of 2 were scarier than the entirety of Outlast 1 and Whistleblower
REAL SmeatBoi they were not even close to as scary as the original
Outlast is everything i want a game studio to do.
A bold, refined and thought out game. It's not even so much about the video game, it's about the mindset.
Red Barrels were a completely new studio that no one ever heard of until Outlast and they made a really bold move to publish a game like Outlast and it paid off.
Surely, all the other AAA companies can afford to make a bold move like that.
It was...just as bloody as I remember
Red barrels did consist of a lot of former ubiosoft employees
@@John-qe5sq I never really did notice the similarities Outlast has to Splinter Cell... And with that being said, it's same writer of splinter cell and I'm sure the people in red barrels worked on it as well
Doctor: Its ok Chris Milos isn’t real he can’t hurt you.

loved that cooking segment, wonderful to have food prepped so I can feel sick while thinking about outlast 2!
Aren't you gonna punch the spaghetti?
Why would you wear a Steak on your head?
I just came back to this video specifically to rewatch the cooking segment. I don't know how I got this far in life while still needing to learn cooking from an outlast video.
Wherever you can get it buddy
I'm so happy people are still talking about outlast. As a speedrunner of the first game, this makes me happy.
oh shit that’s cool! do you have any personal records? :) it took me hours to beat this game the first time i played it lmao
@@oldchannel6577 I had the old world record for a year back in 2015, that was for 39 mins. Currently my new run is 14 minutes with 1 glitch at the start.
Something about Ricardo walker in that thumbnail fills me with joy
i'm a big fan of a recipe/mini-cooking show instead of a sponsorship segment. Please do more!
I agree!
So thats what was the storm at the end of Outlast 2. I didn't even know, that there are comics explaining the background story. Also thanks for the explanation. It makes much more sense now. You only forgot to mention, that in the first one, Miles gets possesed by the wallrider and after getting shot, it kills all the soldiers and the nazi doctor. Nonetheless amazing video and cool recipe. :D
HA! I FIXED THE CHAPTERS!!! It turns out you have to start your timestamps at 00:00 in order for CZcams to realize you're trying to make chapters for your viewers. I hope they help!
i looked away for 3 minutes and he started making pasta.
Love the cooking section. 9/10, can't even go near bacon without feeling like throwing up.
I'm not big on bacon myself, either.
I felt like outlast 2 was trying way too hard, and it ultimately lacked focus. It did so much shit trying to scare you that it all blends together and ultimately becomes bland.
I got confused with the story lol. The whole "anti Christ baby" wasn't doing it for me. The ending was just as weird.
I beg to differ. In my opinion what Outlast 2 fails at compared to the first game (namely its characters) it makes up for in its pure atmosphere. There is something far more terrifying about collective insanity than individual, and Outlast 2 gets that down to a tee. Though the school sections were a bit weird, I think the game shined when you were stuck in this completely remote village full of insane cultists, and when you get to the HERETIC CAVES it becomes something like a fever-dream esque nightmare that was far more effective at feeling like you've lost touch with reality than the literally school hallucination moments.
I mean, imagine an entire townsworth of people all equally as crazy as one another wanting nothing more than to hunt you down and butcher you in the name of their cause. That to me is far more disturbing than just being chased by a crazy mental patient who wants to eat you or something perverse or on-the-nose like that.
Also, all confusing story-beats have pretty much been explained by now, and when you have the full picture its actually quite entertaining. I think a lot of people didnt like it because it had very little relation to the first game as opposed to just accepting the fact that this was mostly a separate story.
A lot of people dont like it but I consider O2 a real gem in the rough.
@@alt0799 I don’t find outlast 2 that scary as compared to outlast 1, but damn did that game have a very well setting.
I’m not talking about the villages or the deep dark mines,the lake or the scalled camp (which was the most boring and shittiest chapter), I’m talking about the mine building in chapter 4 with blood rain and the school segments.
Chapter 4 was the scariest in my opinion, the mines felt boring and especially on my insane run. Heretics chase were intense with you running out of stamina and their constant shrieks, the theme that plays (i think it was a chopper variant ost) when you see the sky raining blood was creepy and sets the atmosphere very well. Then you further move and see the mangled bodies hung at the entrance of the building with the guy looking hollow and skeletal in appearance who has a hook piercing in his cheeks (not those cheeks) gives you the idea of how heretics are. The school segments are the best in this game, I just wished there were more of demon Loutermilch patrolling the school instead of just scripted sequences. I honestly find the dry land of Arizona a lot less scarier than a giant asylum because there are many ways you can hide or survive in that place, In fact blake had a better chance of running away from there as compared to Miles or Waylon, unless you know the asylum very well you are very limited to survive especially against variants like Chris Walker or Richard Trager who literally knew every way and corner of the asylum.
I thought the first Outlast (and Whistleblower) tried too hard. They probably all do but it's kinda endearing
@@alt0799 I’m not reading all that. I’m happy for you though, or sorry that happened
I really like how outlast 2 improved upon the mechanics, but I didn't like how it was more running instead of hiding. Still a fantastic game, but I prefer the first one honestly. But that's my opinion
Yeah, this running was kinda boring, but improving the mechanics was awesome and also it had better graphics
Chris Walker is a good boi! Just trying to get his lil pig and keeping everyone safe
Mariya H here - you pronounced my name correctly yaaay! (the "y" sometimes throws people off). So glad to see you cover outlast so thoroughly!
The complete tonal whiplash of going from horror game overview to thorough cooking segment is exactly the kind of shit that I live for. I don't even remember subscribing, but I'm gonna yeet some money at the patreon just for that.
I love risking my life daily and not getting hazard pay, I love how essential frontline workers aren’t even cared about.
Hope you're staying safe comrade
Well, round 2 will have you really complaining now. Blessed science may you live forever
“Risking my life” lol
@@benshapirosgreasycock5381 How are they not?
I've been working food service through most of the pandemic and I haven't even gotten one water bottle!!!
Wow, that's some BS right there. How else will you feel valued in lieu of hazard pay or a sizable bonus for keeping your franchise location alive and thriving during a time where most other businesses are dropping like flies?!
@@CharlatanWonder perhaps I'll be sustained on the knowledge that the customers (who do not wear masks about half of the time) are getting an overpriced meal and lining the pockets of someone who pays me a couple dollars above minimum wage? That's what truly warms MY heart.
The DLC was without a doubt the best piece of content in the franchise, played all the games, the DLC and read the comics (which was surprisingly pretty great) and the DLC is always the highlight of any conversations I've had w/ people that've played the games. I'm really excited for the upcoming co-op game!
I'm sorry, I wanted to fund you, but those kazoos...they called me with their vile temptations.
I can't fault you. Few can resist the wiles of a six pack of kazoos
I want an "I am essential" coffee mug.
Referring to Gluskin as "Mr Horny on Main" just earned you a sub. No I joke.
Outlast 2 has to be the nastiest and most violent game i've ever played, only The Last Of Us 2 comes close in terms of violence, i wanted to take a shower after each session. I respect Red Barrels for not pulling back on anything. It's sad that i found it to be such a frustrating experience; this could have been a masterpiece but it wasn't.
The gameplay is good, but the level design leaves way to much room for trial and error, and in a horror game with so many chase sequences and focus on tension, it becomes annoying and frustrating. The main story was interesting but the subplot involving the catholic school was pointless and you can see the twist coming from miles. The main story could have been great if they have decided to make it it's own thing instead of connecting it to the previous games, but that's just me.
Anyways, the game it's fine but could have so much better in my opinion.
I spaced out while I was doing work and my brain chose to come back during the cooking segment,,where am I?
Bonus spook: play in the night maybe during a thunder storm
Ooh, it's a stormy night tonight, actually...
Cavey Möth perfect
@@memesintensifies8013 My power went out, so I couldn't play. Dang it.
Cavey Möth big sad
Fact: Almost all of us tried to close that ad
It took me just one glance to know it was a clever ruse. It's very well-executed - even the tiny X and 》buttons in the top right corner were included to make it look legit.
Just as I finished replaying outlast 1, WB, Murkoff Account and 2 you make a video about them! Love you
So does that mean Chris is kind of like an antihero not quite a villain since he's trying to stop stuff from getting out
Yeah pretty much
Not gonna lie, that cooking segment was amazing and definitely wasn't expecting that. Now I know what I'm doing for dinner. Thanks, man.
lol this was a delightful video, wasn't expecting the cooking segment in the middle but it was very welcome. so glad i found this channel
When Outlast Trials was announced there was a section on the website stating it’s a game that “can be played solo or co-op.” I even read something where they were clear about the game being playable solo and they focused on making the solo experience just as fun as the previous games
Last I remember, the only thing that drains the camera batteries is the night vision, you can have it out all the time otherwise without repercussions; and doing so can get you extra lore
Dude just want to say that this is amazing content and you totally should do more, i sure be waiting!
Yet again, he blesses us in such a short period of time.
I think a remaster of Outlast 1 with gameplay and graphics of Outlast 2 would go really well
This went from horror to cooking, u got my subscription.
Just found you thru CZcams recommend and I have been watching you religiously since, keep up the great work and keep being funny af my dude 💜💜
I thought that thing was an actual ad for a second, Iw as typing in the search bar and just nonchalantly moved the mouse down to close it out without even looking at it
Attlas, dude, congrats on blowing up on CZcams!
I haven't checked in on your stuff in a few years and stumbled on this video. We used to occasionally talk and play stuff way back in the Brote days with a small side group.
Anyway, keep up the good work! I love these kinds of longer analysis/retrospective videos.
Oh hey! it's been a while man!
An interesting thing is the devs were smart enough to either know or research that IR Nightvision exists. When you say "Nightvision", everyone thinks of the typical green type, which works by taking in the natural surrounding light and amping it. That means, however, if a night is particularly dark due to no moon or a obscured moon and/or being under some form of cover, that style of nightvision is effectively useless since as most know, nothing times anything equals nothing. IR Nightvision on the other hand, uses an artificial IR light to produce it's own light. IR is invisible to the naked eyes so it doesn't break the effects of hiding in the darkness, the whole "I can see you but you can't see me." thing.
Outlast was the scariest game I have ever played (I was only 13 at the time)
I clicked before I got the notification
What are you some kind of wizard?!
@@CharlatanWonder Yes I am. (actually I just looked at my recommended because it is faster than a notification, it was completely by chance)
Oh how you could OUTLAST these videos is beyond me.....
I'm sorry
NO
YES
Oh no...
First video I've watched of yours and I'm already hooked , and congrats to your wife on the school acceptance.
I adore the cooking segment
Thank you for the new video!!!

I almost didn't use it because I thought it might have been a bit too spicy of a meme

1:00 when the fake advertisement appeared on screen, I was generally scared and thought it was real.
Before watching: I love outlast. The first one was great, whistleblower was also great! But the second one was a pile of garbage that had no backing for its horror other than “it’s scary”. I’m somewhat looking forward to the Outlast Trials, because it seems their stopping with the stupid paranormal shit form the second game, and going back to what the first game did. But I’m not insanely excited about it.
Edit after watching: good video. Good points, nice opinions. Also I’m gonna go make that dish right now that genuinely looks good
Outlast has always been supernatural, and Outlast 2 is no more supernatural than the first.
dreadlordhg no it hasn’t. Outlast’s horror was explained through science, the walrider was NOT a ghost, he was simply a collection of nanobots connected to an Insane host. Outlast was NEVER about the supernatural lmfao, but Outlast 2 was, and it took it WAY too far. Outlast 2 tries so damn hard to be scary that it’s not scary at all
THE NUMB SKULL
Supernatural as in extraordinary, not ghostly. Everything in Outlast 2 is explained through the same means, the only difference being it’s centred around a cult. Like Outlast, Outlast 2 is explained through science as well because most people have been exposed to a newer morphogenic engine.
dreadlordhg and you know where it’s explained? Not in the main story, not in a cutscene, not by a character, it’s all explained in a note, a single note towards the end of the game that’s so well hidden you would have to be purposefully looking for it to fund it... that’s NOT how you provide exposition. Outlast 2 was a dumpster fire in every way anyone who played the first game on release and then played the second game will tell you that. It’s not scary, it tries too hard. It’s not interesting, it provides more questions than answers(and the answers don’t ever make sense). And it’s shocking only for the sake of being shocking, there’s no rhyme or reason to its material, it’s only all just there for the sake of being there “because it’s scary”. So no, everything in outlast 2 is NOT explained through the same means.
If your playing the game for a first time, any normal person is gonna assume it’s all paranormal, because that’s how the game presents itself. It’s not grounded in reality like true first one was. Which is why I’m somewhat looking forward to Trials, because it seems more grounded in reality than the garbage that was the second game. “Why is it raining blood”? Because it’s scary. “Why is it swarming locusts?” Because it’s scary. “Why is the water blood?” Because it’s scary. And it’s all explained to be the morphogenic engine... in a hidden note.
It’s lazy writing, pure and simple. It’s almost as bad as “it was all just a Dream”
Came back to this video with bad munchies trying to find this recipe, thank you it took forever to find 😭
The ending of whistleblower was awesome
That carbonara segment was legitimately just as interesting as the outlast segments
okay i love this channel
I was expecting to skip over the cooking segment when I saw the time stamps, but it was more entertaining than I thought it would be lol.
That pasta looks actually really good, I think I might make it
I was watching your horror game videos to get my mind off of how hungry I was to wait until my mom finished cooking dinner. Thanks for a cooking segment out of the million anti sponsors you've had.
Great video mate
While I'm a little jaded to the gore, I thought Outlast 2 just didn't give you enough time to breathe. You're constantly, constantly being chased by something and eventually it stops being scary and just becomes annoying since it never stops.
Best CZcamsr I’ve seen in years nobody really makes good content anymore and yet here you are going from running away from Chris to making “The idiots Carbonara”
I feel like outlast 1 felt very real, like this could be happening in some abandoned place, where as the 2nd felt like a game story
Good luck with the move!
Have fun moving and be safe
Also, damn that food looks just, great
Good luck on the move and congrats
Oh no I actually tried to x the fake ad he put in the intro xD Lmao
0:59 I just repeatedly paused and unpaused this video trying to close that "ad". I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY! (No really. That was hilarious)
bruh, i did the same thing
Can confirm, this recipe is delicious, I'm eating some now following this guide. Soft bacon/10. Charl best cooking CZcamsr.
that god damn ad actually got me at 1:05
I zoned out because my co worker was talking to me (I watch CZcams on my headphones while I work ) and when I zoned back in you were talking about food , took me a solid three or four minutes to realize I didn’t accidentally click a different video
that fake ad at one minute got me
goddamn it
The stuff you made in the cooking segment looked pretty tasty ngl
I LOVE YOU. Just found your channel and I can not believe ur avatar is a cat, you are cat, incredible.
I love the Outlast OST
As a janitor all I got was a cloth mask and extra work to do so I feel for you wife
Hey hey Penumbra vid would be cool but don't stress, focus setting everything up for your family
Shots fired Chris Thiley!!! 😂
that ad at the start, had me thinking why i couldn't click the X
I like the cooking section
I love that I found this channel
I played this game when I was 12. I mastered it and am able to beat it in 40 minutes with no problems.
Teach me your ways. I’m too chicken for horror games but i love the lore and listening to ppl explain it. I have awful anxiety, and my startle response is quite exaggerated 😅
Trying to do my part with my community. I'm a Auto Mechanic.
Outlast for me was fine to watch someone else play, but I did not find it enjoyable to play. My opinion
Why
Amnesia was the most enjoyable horror game for me to play ever
@@hammerite6418 Maybe just something to do with me getting older. I enjoyed Amneisa. Now a days I like horror games that allow the player to defend the character they are playing. Just a thought.
@@theFORZA66 I like Amneisa also and even some of the fan made ones.
Mr Anderson I always liked it as most of the horror games were you defend your self gets less and less scary as they go on and when you play it before you even 15...you feel real fear
oh my god i remeber loving these games as a kid
This exact recipe is what my folks would make after spaghetti night the night before with the extra noodles... this is literally comfort food for me haha. Only instead of the pasta water, we used butter. Good shit.
The craziest thing is, chris walker is the actual good guy in this story
I don't think you can blame these people for what they're doing (maybe except Trager).
But hell yea, I never realized that Chris actually tried to get rid of people for Walrider.
That meal you made looks genuinely good
"wacky shenanigans" is an interesting way to describe what's happening
Ngl, I really digged that recipe
I was wondering why I kept seeing these videos in my feed, then you mentioned planetside and it all made sense.
Don't come back yet, still waiting on new player experience/tutorial before you tell anyone about that hidden gem again
Saltyvets keep going on about the New Player Experience(TM) despite no new players trying the planetmans for the last six years. Perhaps DBG should try to keep the players they still have before trying to recruit new ones.
That bit in the beginning reminds why I hate my job
