I'd say it's a pretty good American style asylum horror game, which is to say there's a whole lot of over the top character designs and speechifying. I'd say it's enjoyable for what it is, but the worst possible thing happened when I tried to play it the first time. P.T. came out. It kinda killed all interest in actually finishing Outlast for me, because I looked at what subtlety looks like, and I looked at the "Batman's B villains" characters in Outlast, and I realized just how campy an affair Outlast actually is. Maybe I should get back to it though. P.T.'s very existence shouldn't keep me from finishing it at some point, should it?
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
