Rating Summary
This is a compilation of survival-horror games, Outlast, Outlast: Whistleblower, and Outlast II. Players assume the role of protagonists who must use stealth to avoid detection from criminally insane patients and cultist members intent on killing. From a first-person perspective, players traverse environments and use a video camera to help navigate dark corridors. Along the way, players can hide in lockers/closets and underneath beds to avoid enemies stalking them. Capture can result in the character's death, often from decapitation and/or dismemberment. Large splatters of blood are frequently shown as players are killed. Large blood stains are also depicted in some environments and around mutilated corpses. During the course of the game, players can witness instances of torture depicted through various cutscenes: a character crucified on a wooden cross; a bound character's fingers severed with scissors; a man mutilating victims (via knife, sawblade) while saying things such as “[a] few snips at the flesh here and there…A soft place to welcome my seed.”—torture sequences (and aftermath) may depict characters partially nude or with exposed genitalia. The game contains a handful of sequences that briefly depict sexual acts: a man (shown from behind) masturbating over bloody corpses; cultists engaging in sex during an outdoor ritual—no genitalia or penetration depicted. One storyline also alludes to the sexual assault of a young female student by a priest. The words “f**k” and “sh*t” are heard throughout the dialogue.
