When you first saw Outlast did you actually play the game or did you watch someone's walkthrough?
I first found out about the game through a friend of mine back in the summer of 2016 and he was telling me to check it out. I didn't play the game myself when I first checked out but I instead watched dlive22891 play it. I never really got scared at any of the parts and was mostly laughing at dlive's reactions to the jumpscares. I don't get scared easily and even watching those videos now is a bit funny too. Except for the eighth episode titled *Holy FUCK!* IT'S THE WALRIDER! which got taken down by YouTube shortly after I watched the episodes, (I know that video was still up because I remember skimming through dlive playing the courtyard chapter. It also means his reaction to the walrider jumpscare in the Courtyard is lost)
I would sometimes have my heart racing at the tense parts such as the sewers and Trager's part, (I was a bit grossed out when i first saw it too). I was a little upset at the ending and I was like "Are you kidding, you die at the end anyway!" but I still liked the scary atmosphere to it.
I did find out about Whistleblower a month later and since dlive never posted a walkthrough of that one, I watched Markiplier's playthrough of it. I also really enjoyed Whistleblower and it does kind of help with the original's ending in making it an amazing game. I find Outlast 1 and Whistleblower to go together in a way.
What was you guy's expirences with this game. Did you watch/play it when it first came out or were you late like I was.
