Alright, let’s dive into this. So, there’s this thing going on with the PlayStation Store right now — crazy sales, Next Level Savings or something, which sounds fancy enough to catch your eye. But I’m not here to babble about promo names. What’s really amusing is the spotlight they’re shining on indie games. Yeah, those quirky little things that sometimes turn out to be nuts. Discounts touching 75% off! Madness, right? And there’s this horror game, apparently one of the creepiest, sitting real pretty on sale.
### So, about Outlast being five bucks…
Not kidding — Outlast is going for just $4.99 on the PS Store. That’s a whopping 75% sliced off its usual $19.99 price. It’s like, if you blink, you might miss it, coz this deal evaporates on May 29 at 2:59 a.m. ET. Mark your calendar, or don’t, whatever you do.
So, picture this: remote Colorado mountains, a crazy place called Mount Massive Asylum. Honestly, why does that sound like the start of every horror story? Anyway, it’s this asylum for the mentally ill — nurses probably left or something, but now it’s run by this Murkoff Corporation’s ‘charity’ thingy. Hilarious, right? Secretive as heck until, boom, journalist Miles Upshur barges in because, why not, right? He smells something fishy mixing science, religion, and then some wild mix I can’t even begin to describe. Anyway, to get out alive, he needs to unravel Mount Massive’s nasty secrets.
And if you’re into Outlast and crave a little more chaos, there’s Whistleblower — the DLC that’s supposedly both a prequel and the finale? Makes sense, I think. Not on sale though, costs $8.99. So, for $13.98, you’re all set for mental trauma on your PS4 or PS5.
Flick back to 2013, Outlast pops on the scene, and critics absolutely adored it — at least that’s what Metacritic says with its shiny 80 score from 59 reviews. Who even comes up with these numbers?
Oh, and no, not hallucinating at all — just naturally rambly and somewhat distracted. Or maybe it’s the caffeine.
