Alright, so here we go. I’ve been scrolling through this sea of discounts on the PlayStation Store. There’s this promo called “Next Level Savings” — sounds fancy, right? Anyway, they’re throwing indie games at us with these wild discounts. It’s all about the little guys, the indie gems, rather than the blockbuster heavyweights. And honestly, I’m kind of here for it.
### Oh, Outlast for Five Bucks? What?!
Outlast is basically a five-dollar thrill ride right now. It’s like 75% off the usual price, so if you’ve got five bucks lying around, maybe skip that overpriced coffee for a day. I mean, why wouldn’t you nab it before the sale wraps up on May 29th, just before 3 a.m. Something about deadlines makes me nervous, but whatever.
So here’s the gist: you’re in the spooky remote mountains of Colorado. There’s this asylum called Mount Massive. And yeah, it’s as creepy as it sounds. Supposedly reopened by some dubious, cloak-and-dagger Murkoff Corporation. I don’t know who names these places, but they definitely nailed the eerie vibe.
Miles Upshur — he’s this lone-wolf journalist who sneaks into the place. Somehow, he thought breaking into a facility like that was a good idea. Classic horror logic. The line between science and religion blurs, nature gets weird, and all that jazz.
Okay, moving on. If you dig Outlast, there’s this DLC they dropped, named Whistleblower. It’s kind of a spin-off prequel thing. Not on sale, though, at $8.99. Math time: You can experience the whole shebang, base game, and DLC for $13.98. Less than what we pay for a fancy dinner.
A little throwback to 2013 — it was the talk of the town. Critics on Metacritic gave it an average score of 80. Not shabby, right?
So, there it is — horror, intrigue, and bargains galore. Enjoy crawling around in the dark if you’re brave enough.
