When it comes to the horror genre, individual titles find legions of fans and die-hard opponents – but video games like Outlast definitely have the power to frighten anyone.
Outlast is not your classic horror survival game – it uses proven solutions to transform them into something unique. There are jump scares but to keep you tense instead of just scared. Or a creepy atmosphere that constantly attempts to crawl under your skin.
The game may not be incredibly terrifying but can leave a lasting impression, spookier than it actually is. Sounds fun? Let’s see which Outlast alternatives share similar traits!
