For the first post. I gonna post something about Outlast.
Outlast is a survival horror video game developed and published by Red Barrels, a company
founded by people previously involved with video games such as Prince of Persia, Assassin's Creed, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell and Uncharted. It
was released on September 4, 2013 for Microsoft Windows and on February 4, 2014, for PlayStation 4.
= Gameplay =
Outlast is a first-person survival horror game set
in an asylum. The main character, Miles Upshur, is incapable of combat, except
for certain scripted sequences in which he pushes enemies away. To navigate the
environment, the character is able to climb to ledges, vault over low
obstacles, crawl, and slide in narrow gaps. Except for vaulting, enemies are
incapable of any of these maneuvers, which gives the player a certain edge. In
addition, the player can survive encounters with the inmates by hiding inside
of lockers or under beds, although certain enemies may search the room and
attempt to locate the player for a short time before moving on.
Since much of the asylum is dark, the
player must use Miles' video camera to see, thanks to its night vision function.
Using night vision consumes batteries, replacements of which are scattered
throughout the environment.
When injured, Upshur must avoid taking any
further damage for a while, which will allow him to recover.

·
Miles Upshur – The main protagonist, a
freelance journalist who is tipped off to possibly illegal activity at the
Mount Massive Asylum, run by the Murkoff Corporation. He is the only character
who never actually speaks, instead simply screaming, grunting, and breathing
heavily during intense sequences, and whose thoughts are instead expressed by
handwritten notes. Despite the trouble he experiences at the asylum, he
maintains a firm determination to complete his objectives, utilizing his
pathfinding skills to find new routes, and even has a slight sense of humor.
Voiced by Shawn Baichoo.
·
Father Martin – A former patient at Mount
Massive who, as a result of his insanity, believes himself to be a priest, even
reconfiguring his patient’s clothes into a sort of frock. He believes Upshur to
be a prophet sent to him by God, to record the events within Mount Massive and
to “spread his Gospel” to the outside world. He maintains a firm control over
most of the other inmates, using this control to save Upshur from several
attacks, primarily by the Twins. He serves as one of the major driving forces
in the game, constantly appearing to Upshur from afar and ordering him to
follow him deeper into the asylum. In one of the final scenes, believing
himself to be the second coming of Christ, he has his servants burn him on a
cross in the asylum’s chapel. Voiced by Andreas Apergis.
· Chris Walker – One of the major, and perhaps
most persistent, antagonists of the game, Walker is a former soldier with the United States Army who served several
tours in Afghanistan. He is a massive man who uses his sheer strength
to rip people’s heads right off of their bodies, doing so in order to contain
the threat of the Walrider by eliminating potential hosts. Shortly after Upshur
enters the underground military base, Walker attempts to attack him one final
time, only to be killed when the Walrider drags him through a metal grate,
shredding his body to pieces. Voiced by Chimwemwe Miller.
·
Dr. Richard “Rick” Trager – A former
executive with the Murkoff Corporation who eventually went insane and began
acting as a doctor, mostly performing experiments and mutilations on patients
and other former executives. He also played a role in keeping a lid on the
illegal activities by ordering the institutionalization of potential
whistle-blowers such as David Annapurna (the one who tipped off Upshur) so that
they could be experimented on until death. He maintains a consistent and very
dark sense of humor, even as he mutilates Upshur by cutting off two fingers. He
also has a low opinion of Father Martin and his “holier-than-thou
Bible-thumping,” claiming that the man just might be “a little crazy.” He is
the first major character to die, when he fights Upshur in a downward-moving
elevator and pushed out the door, where he is crushed to death as it passes
between floors. Voiced by Alex Ivanovici.
·
The Twins – Two naked, cannibalistic twins
who pursue Upshur with meat cleavers with the intent of eating him. Several
times, they are held back by Father Martin’s orders, but occasionally chase
after Upshur regardless. They are the only major characters who do not die, and
are last seen opening the chapel doors for Upshur and allowing him to leave
after Father Martin dies.
·
Dr. Rudolf Wernicke – A former Nazi scientist who
performed similar experiments with production and control of nanotechnology
under Hitler’s Germany.
After the war, he was brought to the United States as part of a program that
sought to utilize foreign scientist’s skills for their own needs rather than
allow their enemies to recruit them. He first worked at Los Alamos before being transferred
to Mount Massive, which was secretly under the control of the government under
the guise of an insane asylum. His death was faked in 2009, and he continued
his research for the government, in alliance with the Murkoff Corporation, up
until the events of the game. He tells Upshur that the only reason he is still
alive is because the Walrider’s host, Billy Hope, sees Wernicke as his father
and thus chooses to let him live. Wernicke is presumably killed along with the
six soldiers after the Walrider is released by Upshur’s death at the end of the
game. Voiced by Marcel Jeannin.
·
Billy Hope – A young, teenage patient who
lives inside a glass orb, kept alive by life support in the underground
military base at Mount Massive. He is the Walrider’s host, despite his limited
physical capabilities, and thus controls the Walrider’s actions. He views
Wernicke as his father, even though Wernicke is simply using him as a test
subject. He is killed as Upshur’s final objective, when Upshur shuts off his
life support system and drowns him in his own blood.
