Sitting on the ground for a long time, Louis remembered that he was still streaming and returned to his chair.

"Damn, that scares me. Okay, I have to admit that I was scared, but after playing this, I will not be scared so easily next. The same trick shouldn't scare me twice." Louis made an excuse for his just embarrassing performance, although it didn't work.

He continued to play the plot and finally reached the security room, but the power was turned off by the priest, and the monster who chased him before the security room appeared.

Following the system's prompt to enter the cabinet, avoiding the monster who threw him down at the beginning, Louis had to face the fact that he had to go to the basement to turn on the generator again, otherwise, there would be no electricity.

Carefully avoiding the fear of the monster suddenly appearing, using the night vision function of the camera to reach the basement, he found that he had to go to four different places separately, to start the mechanism to turn on the generator.

"I just have a few batteries, so I hope there will be no monsters chasing me in the basement." Louis looked at the dark basement and thought of the wheelchair man who scared him before, he was quivering a little.

If it is a bloody scene or a scary monster, that's fine. But this dark environment and the unknown of the plot of the game after it is the most disturbing and scary. He didn't notice at all that the rhythm of the game had begun to slowly tense up, but he could still play with the chat still showing.

But after entering the security room and being chased by the fat inmate, the strange and tense music, the atmosphere, and the tasks of the surrounding scenes made him more and more involved in the game.

"No-! Don't chase me-! Don't chase me-!"

"There is no battery, the camera is out of power!"

"Why haven't you left yet!"

"Where is this road?"

While playing, Louis felt his breathing was a little quick, his whole face became red, and even his voice was a little hoarse. Finally, at the doctor's level, facing the neurotic doctor picking up a pair of large scissors to cut off the protagonist's fingers, Louis directly clicked ALT+F4.

"No more playing, no more playing. Whoever likes to play, can play it. I will be dead if I play again, so no more playing." Looking at the camera next to him, he coughed several times in a row.

Louis quickly shook his hand and said he couldn't handle this game anymore. He opened the happy song, and Louis calmed down a few minutes later.

Do you say that this game is scary? Scary places, such as when a wheelchair man suddenly rushed at you, when you hid in the cabinet and were suddenly caught by the enemy, or when a scary scene occurred when the door opened, are all horror game and film clichés.

But the most important thing is the sound effects of the entire game, and the atmosphere is too good, it can be said that there is no dull moment. The most uncomfortable scene is bundled with the essential function of the camera. If you don't want to face the unknown darkness, you need a battery.

And the battery is scattered in all corners of the environment, which means players must actively explore those unknown areas to find the battery. Otherwise, they will face darkness.

The second is the use of sound effects and environment. Dark but not completely dark scenes, and dynamic scene sounds, including the protagonist's breathing, heartbeat, and monster's footsteps, all give players a sense of fear. Sometimes it's not necessarily the monster that scares the player; the horror without being seen is the real horror.

Here, John's design of "Outlast" also uses many similar game techniques. For example, when you hear the sound effect of being chased by a monster, you have no chance to turn your head, but there will be rapid footsteps behind you.

At the same time, there are some mandatory fear settings. For example, in "Outlast," when facing enemy pursuit, you hide in the cabinet. But when you hide in the cabinet, you turn your head and suddenly find that there is a mental patient next to you, grinning. The stimulus brought by this fear is something that cannot be experienced elsewhere.

With the release of "Outlast," many players have already started hot discussions online.

'No more, I can't hold it anymore, this game is too scary. I feel that all the shock value I received this year is less than an hour of playing "Outlast."'

'???, The big man upstairs, did you hold on for half an hour?'

'Sorry, I was defeated. The corpse that opened the door, the inmate, and the man in the wheelchair almost scared me into a heart attack.'

'In fact, those are okay. The most terrifying thing is the dark environment, I can't find the way at all. The motor in the basement is okay, but the sewer after is almost ruthless. I don't even know where to go.'

'It's nothing; it's torture to find a fuse in the female ward, and the doctor is so depraved. He cut off both of my fingers and scared me.'

'Bro, are you so strong? How long was your game time?'

'We bought the game, but we didn't dare enter the Asylum, so I watched the video.'

With the launch of "Outlast," the topic of the game was boosted by Social Tap, and soon the whole game circle became abuzz. After all, "Outlast" is a horror game, and whether it's video or live, it's incredibly topical. On major sites, the video about "Outlast" and its highlights have all ranked first.

And on the streaming platform, "Outlast" quickly became the top game. Although it was only a momentary heat, it still shows how popular "Outlast" was, at least during that time.

Is it really this shocking? Can horror games succeed? Seeing the news about the popularity of "Outlast" on the Internet, and the keyword "Outlast" that was trending on social media, many people in the industry were dumbfounded. It shouldn't be.

But soon, with the introduction of third-party sales statistics, many were surprised again. Is this happening? It's completely different from what they thought.
