You know those sales where you suddenly find yourself way too excited about a game you didn’t even know you wanted? Yeah, so there’s this crazy sale going on with PlayStation right now—Next Level Savings or something—where indie games are getting these massive markdowns. Like, 75% off for some seriously good stuff. And get this: there’s even a horror game thrown in that’s supposed to scare the pants off you. No joke.
So, right, Outlast. Ever heard of it? It’s going for like five bucks on the PS Store at the moment. Honestly, it’s usually twenty, so this is like finding treasure in your cereal box. But you gotta hurry because this deal vanishes faster than my motivation on a Monday—May 29 at stupid o’clock in the morning. Why do these deals always end just before I wake up?
Okay, picture this: remote mountains in Colorado, creepy asylum, and a corporation doing dodgy stuff under the guise of charity. I mean, you know it’s gonna get weird when something is both a “research” and “charity” initiative. Anyway, the game has you playing as this journalist dude, Miles, who sneaks in and uncovers this whole cocktail of spooky science and religious mumbo jumbo. Honestly? It’s the stuff of nightmares. And not even the fun kind.
But here’s the kicker—there’s this add-on thingy, Whistleblower. It’s kinda the beginning and end all wrapped into one. Not on sale though, figures. Costs nearly nine bucks, but if you do some math wizardry, you can snag the whole Outlast package for roughly fourteen. I’d say it’s worth ditching a meal out, at least this once.
Back when it first busted onto the scene in 2013, Outlast got some solid nods from critics on Metacritic. An 80 score, if you’re into numbers. It’s like finding that ugly gem everyone else loved too. Anyway… wait, what was I talking about? Oh yeah, grab it while you can. Before it’s gone faster than your memory of what you just binged on Netflix.
