About this game
An insider's tip brings journalist Miles Upshur to Mount Massive Asylum. Once inside, survival depends on escaping danger rather than fighting it. You move through the facility using stealth and parkour-inspired traversal, deciding when to stay hidden and when to run. Progress is built around getting past threats while pursuing the institution's secrets. Bundle of Terror pairs Outlast with Whistleblower. That expansion follows Waylon Park, the software engineer whose story begins before Miles's arrival, giving the same institution another viewpoint. Together, the included stories focus on people trying to survive what is happening inside Mount Massive, with evasion at the centre of the playable experience.
