- Hello, and welcome to (as promised) a long video telling the ENTIRE story of Outlast... So Far...
Enjoyed putting this one together. I wanted to do individual videos on characters, but I figured I'd do a long video on everything instead. This video includes a telling of The Murkoff Account Comics too.

Right, listen up! A few of you in the comments are saying “bRo, Ww1 dIdN’t HaPpEn iN 1938”… I know. In this video I say that Murkoff were EXPOSED in 1938, for selling gas to the Germans to use in World War 1. As in, they weren’t exposed until years later. Thanks for your time. I’m going back to bed 😂
the removal of the mention of getting fired for exposing what happened in afghanistan coincides with snowden and wikileaks LOL
How dare you.
Really good video, detailed, informative, entertaining and well-presented. It frustrates me that bigger content creators are so complacent and we only realise when watching smaller creators and how much effort and detail they put in, keep up the good work.
The only criticism I have is the time stamps don't always correlate to what you're talking about, but I guess it's hard when talking about so many different characters in different time periods and mediums to make up convenient chapter titles, other than that great video.
@@lewiswarburton1262 Yeah, they are TH-cam's auto chapters haha
well, SOMEONE didn't listen clearly 😅
I’ll never forget the reveal in whistleblower that it was actually happening in parallel to the main outlast story. Mind blowing.
I watched Markiplier play the game and around the time that you start leaving after you meet with the groom, his reaction and my reaction are basically the same. A lot of shock and awe and just intrigue about what is going on. That's why I consider whistleblower basically outlast 2. It was really hard for me to accept the second game after seeing what happened with The whistleblower DLC. I eventually did but it took a while.
Same. I also thought WB took place years before the whole Asylum went to total chaos. When it was revealed at certain key events in WB that it tied in with the main game's story, I was left speechless on how well everything linked up together.
@@VFPro_ lol, they didn't
@@VFPro_ ummmm, no
after miles kills billy, miles becomes the walrider, and the walrider executes his dying THOUGHT or neural activity: TO KILL ALL WHO BETRYED HIM : the doc and all employees.
the end of WB is the brief continuation of the base game end.....
anyways, my blood froze when i saw the walrider in the distance while in the jeep......
10/10 game
Whistle blowing you might even say
So basically literally all of this could've been prevented by Waylon calmly going home first and sending the email from there, lmao!
Or Ctrl+H , Ctrl+A , Delete, delete all data
Whether Waylon sent the email to Miles or not, there still would’ve been the breakout at mount massive due to billy connecting with the walrider
@@katevaness2253 yeah but if the email wasn't sent there would be no outlast
Well, Billy hope would have started the walrider anyways
No they knew about it already
It makes sense for Miles to become the Walriders host. Being in that Asylum and experiencing the things he did would make anyone a worthy host tbh
True. The amount of horror you'd experience from the variants being violent and depraved is too much for a few hours. Chris walker's presence , Dr.Trager's torture , father martin burning alive , the wallrider. And we don't speak about the corpses and blood he had to witness.
Any place filled with blood draws devils
I always assumed it was more of a case him being the closet thing to a host for the walrider after Billy’s death. Basically once the walrider realizes Billy is dying it attacks miles to cause him be to in a state near death just enough for him to be a somewhat suitable candidate to be a host. But even then it only takes miles being pumped full of lead for it to fully takeover.
@@williamfrank962 Well it has always been the plan all along to make Miles the host since he got there, at least father Martin's. That's why he was under his protection, so he has time to be traumatized enough and not be killed. Chris knew that and since he didn't want the walrider to have a new host, he chased miles, trying to kill him and other potential threats (we see him tearing this dude's head off e.g.). The walrider wanted him to be the new host as well (I don't know why exactly) but he could've killed Miles at any time but chose to leave him alive. Maybe they saw a more potent host? I don't know.
I like how every single horror game somehow comes back to ‘corporations are evil’
Maybe because it's true 😱
Facts tho.
because it’s fact
It's because corporations, govt. agencies, secret cults, and the like are convenient tools for having entire organizations of people to antagonize the hero(s). In the real world, capital is required to motivate most people into organizations, and viola; A company of villains hiding awful secrets.
They are.
I like how Miles, despite being attacked, hunted, stalked, tortured, killed, and even possessed by the Walrider, still manages to pull through and commit acts of heroism to make sure everyone knows the truth about Murkoff.
A true hero
Not to mention those two naked guys that wanted his liver. Two guys that look *that ready* to cut your side open and f*ck the wound would be enough for me, f*ck a career in journalism 😂
Maybe just maybe one day we will see all the protagonists together in outlast 3
Yea journalists dedicate there life to that most people just be like fuck the camera but it’s hypothetical and the game makers know this
@@danielleon356 that would make no sense 😂 sure it would be cool but u gotta make sacrifices for a good story
Can't believe that a colony of ants possessed by nanobots with the imprint of a human mind is crucial to the lore of this game
Bruh
Nanomachines son!
Horror stories that try to make everything seemingly supernatural in their story end up being the result of scientific experiments and therefore explainable by science always end up with weird stuff like that and convoluted storylines such as the Resident Evil franchise
One million ants from Rick and morty
@@Karlach_ There are a few exceptions like Untill Dawn
“ He soon finds the pilot buts he’s not really in a talking mood. He’s been skinned and hung up on a tree. ” I don’t know why I found this line so funny lmfao
Yea, same 💀💀
Probably for the *obvious* reason that he says what he says and that after you see the pilot skinned and hung up on a tree…….
@@alcoholically4280 nope
Same.
It's a very Top Gear line.
The Outlast series is one of the horror series that I never got to personally play, but I have watched virtually every big TH-camr playthoughs for it and enjoyed every single one of them. I never fully understood the events in Outlast 2 and I think you did a great job summarizing it.
Even back in the day, no one really could explain what was happening in Outlast 2. When he brought up the ants and that last bright light, I was honestly in awe at what actually happened.
YES TO ALL OF THIS!!!!
@@raymondgood544 They really need a 3rd game to tie up the story and bring everything together
@@simplyzed8966 In my head the perfect Outlast 3 would be a 50/50 blend between the vibe of Outlast 2 and the original Deus Ex
I recommend the first one. You will be scared shitless and find yourself hiding in lockers all the time but completeing it was more satisfying than beating Bloodborne (personally) you overcome fear and gameplay to beat the game that tormented you with fear. The second one was a running sim and had a weak impossible to follow story... Wasn't that scary, unless if dead by daylight is scary for you this game is kinda the same. Out run the guy wait till it's safe and move on.....
I will never forget Whistleblower. Probably one of the best DLCs I’ve ever played for any game. Eddie Gluskin story was pretty messed up.
It's my favorite installment tbh. Eddie gkuskin is my favorite antagonist
Great game 💯
Also I am EDDIE ;)
Agreed! Best DLC for any game I've played. Especially since it adds so much more context to the Mount Massive Asylum storyline and I think in some ways it is better than Outlast 1. For me, Outlast 1's main strength was Richard Trager, who was dead by the time Waylon spots him.
It was also a whole lot scarier. After finishing Outlast and getting used to Chris Walker, I purchased the DLC and holy shit, was I terrified at first.
A 50 minute long video by a Creator I've never stumbled across before about a game I have only a passing interest in? Sign me the hell up :-D this was a really well done and informative video and I look forward to watching more of your content
Describes my experience to the T
@@GnarStark
Yep, same here brother
Great minds!
@@drewk3259 think alike ;)
That was literally my exact thought process
I get scared easily so i don't really play horror games, but their lore and story are always so in depth, so having recaps like this is really enjoyable. Thanks for making this!
this is was me before i played horror games and now i play horror games all i had to do was not close the game after i get scared the first time and it all gets easier
@@Potatofellai tried that after the first jumpscare in Outlast but didn't work. Even the resident evil 4 remake scares me. Couldn't make it pass the police station
@@SuperZero1215 il admit i have all the lights on and volume turned down pretty low so it makes it easier but man you have to get over the fear the games are so worth it
"i get scared pretty easily"
i will eat you
Yeah... I downloaded Outlast 2... Never made it past the first section. Places on my body were sweating that I didn't know could sweat.
Soo three of the main characters are still technically alive although miles is the deadliest, wylan hiding, and blake suffering. Wonder how it'll all connect if we'll see this become a trio
Maybe this is the trinity that was mentioned in the end of the video? That'd be an interesting turn of events
That part in Outlast 2 where the man is begging to be killed because he knows he’ll talk when they torture his wife is so fucked. One of the darkest scenarios imaginable and absolutely hated watching it happen, I like how helpless the player feels in these games.
The silly thing is that the victim could have so easily just lied and the torturers would have been delayed long enough. It's a lazy cliche of a scene, though I at least like Blake's meta commentary on how hurting women to get at men was 'cowardly'.
@@mattmedrala1947 bruh, you try lying when a cult is torturing your wife for the information you have.
its a video game relax.
Not to kink shame or anything but you really like that stuff?? Different strokes for different folks i guess
@@tausifchowdhury8180 I mean, it’s a horror game. And a damn good one too lmao
The cannibal twins are such unique and blood chilling additions to the game, i love them. I wish they had a bigger storyline. They're so sophisticated and elegant too strangely
Then u got the man himself, Dr. Richard Trager
I absolutely fucking love his character
He came our if nowhere and well wut he did to u also came out of nowhere
His backstory and the fact that he sounds so endearing and friendly and while acting insane and brutal asf it's also pushed back by him just acting nice which is rly cool
It tly makes his character more layered which works for surprising u but also to expose that he thinks of himself as a good doctor and seems like a good doctor under the fucking insanity that he clearly has
Also the shit he's done in the past also rly makes his friendly demeanor sinister
@@snipo233 absolutely. I love the groom too hehe
@@snipo233 BUDDY!!!!
I think that, even when they are that far gone, they see a need in being proper gents. Who speak thoughtfully and with purpose
Alexa play evil twins by king von
I think the part I was most intrigued by is how Jessica Gray, Blake and the preacher all related in the flashbacks. I always assumed that the monster was a personification of a sexual predator, but was never able to properly connect the dots that it was truly the same guy. Then mentioning the same mark on the head was absolutely mind blowing. After the camera turning out to just be static with the preacher and Blake speaking was a complete mindfuck and the pieces finally all got put together. I hated the monster. All the grabby hands, the long tongue, the way it stares at you… man.
I had no idea Outlast had such a great storyline, always looked at it as a fun horror game. Great video
True, I remember watching videos of it when I was a teenager and thinking it was just some creepy edgy game with cool mechanics like the cameras, and it turns out there's even comics about it.
And for some reason I'm glad the comics have a unique style to them since I was expecting it to have the "DC/Marvel comic artstyle" but it ended up looking really pretty and somehow.. Looks comforting?
Not gonna lie, I had no idea that Outlast 2 was even connected lore wise to Outlast 1, I thought it was it's own thing. I also had never heard of Outlast having comics either. So thank you so much for this video, it really cleared a lot of stuff up for me and now i'm excited for Trials :D
@Sakata Gintoki Plenty of video games have sequels that aren't connected to the plot of previous entries
@Sakata Gintoki Halloween III: Season of the Witch
@@Karlach_ Yeah but to be fair you Could actually see the Murkoff facilty and find that one note about the employee in Outlast 2 (the note was kind of easy to miss tho)
@@alphaalman9277 Lol sorry i'm a total wuss and have never played the games myself. I just like watching TH-camrs play the game instead and they tend to rush through the game more than the average gamer playing by themselves to make editing easier and get their videos out sooner.
@@alphaalman9277 yeah it was in a pretty hidden camp site by one of the large body of water before a dream I think it was the boat idk
I like how nothing in Outlast 2 is supernatural, and that it is all actually an experiment with those towers that make the people go insane
Outlast predicted 5g towers lol
@@Efsaaneh what?
@@tommybrad6393 what?
@@thebadwolf3088 what?
@@EfsaanehIt's pretty obvious that humanity will achieve 5g as it is improving in technology monstrously fast
Eddie Gluskin is hands down my absolute favoirte enemy in all of Horror.
They did such a good job with him.
I'm having a hard time thinking of a more disgusting, terrifying, and horrific character in gaming than Eddie
It's very possible that the "locust" at the broken bridge part above the skald are actually the walrider controlled ant colony
And they were probably on the way to the engine tower 😮
Good theory
Wait that's true....
No it's a hallucination that is meant to signify the coming of the apacolypse, as was is common within Christianity and also the testament of New Ezekiel. This is a huge incorrect stretch
This is a perfect video for those who don’t know the actual story of Outlast. Backgrounds of the characters, history of the experiments and corporations, along with the story of the main games. Almost too good to be true for a single video for these types of games. AWESOME work friend.
Thanks!
@@GamingHarryYT bro honestly I’ve never done this but the effort 10/10 including research 10/10 you should sell this video
The cult of knoth is eerily similar to a real life cult called the Ant Hill Kids with its leader Roch Thériault. You should really look into it as there are a lot of parallels, Wendigoon has a great video on this. Also the mass cyanide is taken from the real life cult of Jim Jones
I read most of it and was very shocked, especially the treatment of the other cult members given. Safe to say that I went “what the hell” on the other half of the story
I can’t tell if it’s less or more worse than the Jonestown Massacre story
Also a nod to "Heavens Gate"
ohh shit you're right, i never noticed the ant hill kids similarities until now
** real life communist cult of Jim Jones
FTFY
This comment explains why this was recommended to me
I am sure the writers of Outlast will be proud of you! You did an incredible job!!! Amen
All right, where should I start?
Ive just watched your 50 minutes of pure work and man, its a masterpiece.
Im from germany and I have searched the whole internet for an good outlast explaination. After hours and hours of searching I reallised that there is no good explaination in my language. But then I found it. Your Video. The holy grale. Even when Iam from germany I do understand english very well and watched your masterpiece.
Thank you sooo much for your work, it wasnt easy thats for sure!
Bro ich auch hahaha hab das Meiste verstanden aber seit wann und wo gibt es diese Comics?
@@hannesschenk20 Googel einfach mal Outlast Comic, dann findest du sie auf englisch
You kinda missed a small part in the comic. The whole pain Lynn was experiencing was not due to the pregnancy but all the blunt trauma sustained in her body from beating, sexual harassment, etc. In the comic segment, Lynn doesn’t even posses a belly at all, it was all in Blake’s head and he was literally dragging his wife to death to the church.
Its because of the light that strikes people in Town. It was said in some documents the light can make things like pregnancy, visions and memories. The last words Lynn said were : There is nothing (smthg like that). Meaning there is no baby, the light striked Lynn only once cuz she was underground meaning she got pregnancy just from one light but she didnt go crazy. Papa Knot and Blake were constantly on that light and they both saw baby. How could 2 people see the same thing when it doesnt exist? As i said Lynn got hitted by light only once, when helicopter got down and she knew that it isnt real pregnancy so she said theres no baby to Blake before she died.
Wait so Lynn died?
@@Aarush_is_the_Best yeah
Incorrect she had a pregnant belly and the pregnancy was real and so was the wave she gave birth to blake’s baby before dying of childbirth and afterwards the comic where he doesn’t have the baby is non-canon cause it doesn’t compute with the ending that we got and that in reality blake and his child were returned to civilization and sent back to live normal lives.
@korrblank1361 So then why does Lynn, who's been in the cave unaffected by the morph, can't see it but Blake and North who HAVE been can see it wheres the confusion in that
I absolutely hated the ending to Outlast 2, but after watching this, I was just blown away. I would have never thought it was all in his head, I now understand the story. Outlast is now one of my favorite horror stories/games!
Outlast games have a cool story and some nice worldbuilding, but the gameplay completely fails at grasping the horror elements of other games.
Many horror games leave you in total or limited control during chases or dangerous scenes even when your actions don't matter, because the realization that you're still in control, and yet nothing you can do will help you, is part of what makes those scenes so frightening. You are allowed to struggle, which gives you an adrenaline high as your mind frantically tries to find something, anything that can help.
Instead Outlast is peppered with long, dragged out sequences that completely take away control and just force you to watch. It may be scary or gross the first time you encounter them, but after you figure out the game is essentially "Oh noo, you're tied down to a chair and this guy will chop your willy off" or "Oooh, you're being crucified and forced to swallow a leper's blood" it loses that edge. Same as chase scenes that have a definite start and end. In a game like Amnesia you would constantly be in fear of a chase not being over and stay on edge for a long time even after the danger had passed. Meanwhile, Outlast has to end every chase scene with an obvious checkpoint such as the big nakey man throwing you down a floor, or crawling through a space too tight for the angry inmate to fit, which just dampens the whole atmosphere. "Oh look, danger's over, back to crawling around". It would be so much better if the game wasn't pretty much a linear corridor runner and offered you some chances to, you know, be scared of what you don't see instead of just slapping gross/scary imagery in your face.
The ending initially confused me, but now I love it
@@ZorotheGallade Maybe the things you said will happend in outlast trails, who knows.
@@ZorotheGallade outlast is more story focused than scare focused
@@wintertrooper7918 One doesn't exclude the other, you can tell a detailed story without sacrificing the tense atmosphere and environment.
Can we talk about how unique and under appreciated the art style for the comic book is. Absolutely amazing
I’ve never played this game, nor do I intend to, but here am I listening to this entire video like my life depends on it. You could explain PacMan lore and I’d be hanging on every word.
It’s interesting how by laying out the plot of Outlast chronologically you start to piece together that this is more than just another entry in the ol’ horror flashlight game genre. It’s a piece of conspiracy fiction, well situated within the vast American canon of such works. The games have dozens of references to famous pieces of conspiracy lore such as MKULTRA/Richard Helms and the Heaven’s Gate cult, and even the events of Outlast 2 are retroactively reinterpreted by the end not as a cult going mad but as a giant experiment by the universe’s Powers That Be in mind control.
Damn... When you put it like that, it makes the Outlast games all the more horrifying because of how REAL they could actually be. Having been inspired by real life human atrocities.
Yeah, Outlast 2 contains two very different stories depending on whether you consider it a standalone or as part of a larger narrative. Personally I really dig it going much deeper into the theme of technology being interpreted as magic.
Weaving the games lore into real parts of fucked up history like MKUltra and Project Paperclip just... man I love this series and the lore.
MKULTRA isn't a conspiracy, there's pretty much proof that it happened
This is one of the best "explained" videos I have ever seen. You actually explained it in a way I could understand! So comprehensive, easy to follow, and extremely well done. I loved these games, thank you for making this video because I sure as hell didn't pick up all the pieces you did for this story.
THANK YOU!! While I was wasn't actively looking for this video im so glad to stumble across it. The Outlast series is such an interesting horror story but I could never piece it all togethier myself. I appericate the way you've put it all togethier and narrated it in an understable yet intertaining manner. I look forward to an update once Outlat 3 comes out.
I kinda love how the whole character of miles/walrider/ants waging war on Murkov and is arguably one of the most justified "villains." The Walrider from what I've seen is a sort of vengeance based character who seems to just ignore the more innocent people (atleast in the eyes of the host.) I love how this otherworldly entity that equal parts supernatural and science fiction is a bring I see myself routing for.
The Walrider under Miles is definitely an antihero rather than a total monster, in some ways like Venom or Alex Mercer. Although it's arguable that even Miles has been corrupted by his vengefulness and Machiavellianism, since the comics hint that he kidnapped and mutilated the daughter of a Murkoff employee and if he was responsible for destroying the towers at Templegate then a lot of the people who died there...and the Langermanns...were collateral damage.
Although I like to think Blake himself ends his story with the potential to create a Walrider of his own, specifically one in the form of a vengeful Jessica.
@@mattmedrala1947 I'm sure Waylon and Simon captured Alice, the daughter of Paul Marion.
@@tomas_nehyba I can't imagine a gentle family man like Waylon being ruthless enough to torture anyone's daughter. On the other hand, Miles is an angry zombie and I can even see him cutting Alice's finger off as 'payback' for losing his own finger.
@@mattmedrala1947 Yeah. But it's likely that Simon Peacock And Waylon Park are still working together in Murkoff Account issue #6. I feel sorry for Paul Marion and his daughter. He had to work for Murkoff in order to have acces to special meds for his daughter that were too expensive and he wouldn't be able to buy them othewise. But because he works for Murkoff, he is now part of all this and now has to work for Simon Peacock and Waylon Park, since they kidnapped his daughter Alice. After the events of Murkoff Account issue #6, Simon probably sent Paul somewhere in Michigan to do some job, he got into a shootout with a Murkoff agent (possibly Pauline) and got shot. Then he arrives in a taxi near the Field Office, the FBI officer arrests him, he is hospitalized and then is the one narrating the whole story of the comics to the FBI.
I mean the walrider will kill anyone and everyone, if chris hadn't attacked miles then miles would have been the one to be killed
Damn Merkoff ain't that smart putting a high tech, ground breaking but untested piece of equipment under the control of a tortured convict and not expecting him to fuck all shit up. But foresight is not a strong suit i guess
Lmfao right that’s what I was thinking
No one in the outlast universe does
The whole story could've been avoided if Miles just said fuck this shit when he saw the shadow in the asylum building
Yeah I also was quite baffled about it. At first sight Plot is really interesting but realizing that it is basically table's feets and taking table's feets out whole table crashes down and all items that were on the table starts breaking.
Well said.
Well said.
In the first game, it's hinted that Billy was pretty stable and loyal to Wernicke until he read a form talking about Murkoff killing his mom; that's the point at which he goes berserk.
Stupid as it may seem, there's also a note in Whistleblower where Murkoff talks about disposing of Wernicke and considering Billy much less important than the three blind dreamers. I wonder if there was some intentional sabotage of Mount Massive as an excuse to get rid of disposable employees. The reason why I think it's stupid is because clearly the chaos has been more damaging to Murkoff than helpful, but on the other hand it's in line with just how gratuitously evil and conspiratorial Murkoff is.
Jesus red barrel is now easily one of my favorite gaming studios ever, their storytelling is absolutely master class if you actually dive deep into their lore its actually amazing, and one of the best things about it is that the deeper story is optional you can just play the games regularly and the basic upfront story is easy enough to understand yet still intriguing, the story and lore of outlast literally has no plotholes, everything is able to connect together so well in a full perfect circle, and they still aren't even done yet, LET THEM COOK!!!
I have never played Outlast, I don't intend to - but I'd be damned if I didn't say you peaked my interest, and explained a story that I didn't know was so deep.
Earned a new subscriber, thank you for this awesome video.
I think the best and scariest character for me was Chris Walker. He is my fav character in that game. When he starts chasing you and you hear that music and him pulling those chains on the ground with himself just gives you chills.
and randomly popping up from nowhere
that shit almost gave me a heart attack every time it happened
Chris Walker reminds me of Nemesis from resident evil
big brock
Little pig
As someone who gets too scared to actually play this game, this is perfection.
Yeah, that jumpscare, probably givijg you some temporal, soulshocking at times
game not scary. its just so gory and grotesque
Wuss
@@eberhanicio7062 yes. Solid fact.
I'm with ya there. Watching walkthroughs is fun but if I ever tried to play Outlast 1 or 2 the anxiety would keep me from getting anywhere. The lore and story are so good though.
I hope they make a outlast 3... this story is really intriguing
The closed beta is already released of the game - outlast trials
@@Alandevdroid It's prequel
@@amiable_monster my bad! i forgot that
@@Alandevdroid It happens, don't worry👍

Just goes to show, red barrel knows what there doing and how writing a horror game should be. Props to them and can’t wait for out last trials
A certain 11 part critique series has convinced me otherwise. I still love Outlast though despite it's many, many flaws.
@@MilkLover-ql7vz Same, i watched all of them.
Again, i still love outlast 1 after watching them, but i dont really like what they tried to do with 2 and 3
So glad you did this, I can't wait for trials and this is certainly making the wait easier. Yet another awesome video of yours.
I love it too! Making more outlast videos can support the trials game to come out!! So it makes all the hype fun! 😍💖

Not all heroes wear capes 🙌
Your videos are legit god tier to watch when I’m trying to stay up late doing homework. Your voice is very soothing in a way, and your descriptions of everything, and research are very detailed and well oriented!
Wow. I never knew outlast had a cool story like this. I was too busy from hiding and screaming to notice the world in the game
Loved outlast 1 but the second game frustrated me so much so this video really helped. It sucks that modern games lock so much lore away in their comics but I understand why with the outlast games formula.
Yeah it’s kind of necessary as so much happens in the aftermath. That’s when we truly see the horrendous lengths Murkoff go to in order to cover their tracks.
@@GamingHarryYT True, its why I love the new Tomb Raider games, the story if the Island didn't need a sequel in the games her adventures and growth did. I am excited for the Outlast Trials and Outlast 3
I think it’s less the fault of the comics and more the fault of outlast 2 itself. They needed a last minute “lab section”
Something purposeless rabbit holes said would’ve worked really well.
The Outlast games' story is one of the most compelling horror/sci-fi stories I've seen in a game. I was honestly surprised to see this from this genre.
I honestly dont know why no one was talking about it that much,like essay videos and all that except for this ofc,the whole story is just pure on disturbing ass hell
I remember almost like 3 years ago looking for some type of TH-cam video describing the full lore of this game series in one video and I was never able to find a video, but finally after all that time someone has done it, and done it well, thank you
the fact that you made a 50 minute long outlast lore video that my 3 brain cells can fully comprehend and understand is really amazing, great work !!!
you put everything togather in chronological order, i enjoyed it, honestly i had no idea Outlast 1 & 2 were even connected well done 🙂👍... here's a Sub for your work and thankyou.
Thanks!
It didn't help that the only thing that really makes the connection is that one single note you can very easily overlook. Me and my buddy love playing the Outlast games together and we had NO idea what the hell was going on until we did more digging and found out about that note. Needless to say, I'm showing him this video and he is absolutely amazed at how much we didn't know even all these years later
@@andrewmeyer3599 yes a note and also an event where a pregnant woman on the run gets killed turns out it was the daughter of an old guy who helps you hide in his basement but also gets killed by the women with a scythe who keeps chasing you... *sorry for my English and poor lack of story construction but i hope you understand what am trying to say*
Me: *knows literally everything that happens in this series and has consumed all available Outlast media both inside and outside the games multiple times*
Also me: oh boy, an Outlast lore video!!
The lore is just THAT good
Most relatable comment I've ever seen
watching playthroughs of the first outlast game was what sparked my love for horror as a genre so i’ve always been a fan of the outlast series in general. that being said, i never knew there was such a comprehensive storyline :0 this was a very fun video to watch! thank you for making it :D
I've loved the outlast series ever since I played the first game, but I could never understand the Wallrirder and the cult/end of the world until this video. You do an amazing job at explaining lore and you've just earned a subscriber! Keep up the good work, man!
It’s pretty crazy that every female character in Outlast was either raped or had a close brush with it. And even some men weren’t safe.
It's pretty crazy man. Not even kids are safe.
Basically all the worst things humans were capable of doing were done in this series 😅 quite impressive how they fit it all in.
It may be called out last but I haven't seen anyone last
Some? I thought all the men were either tortured, dead or mutilated?
@@woopazipper yeah
Favorite part so far is him saying: “Miles regained his composure… and his fingers”
Much respect Harry. When I say I don't enjoy videos like these or most the time the people who are explaining the video as well, but have to say dog you definitely deserve lots of partnerships etc. Great job, background music is also nice and makes it feel like a good audio book. Often listen to your videos when I'm by myself on deployment and then play the games afterwards once I'm back home with my family. Found some gems and also learned a lot form your videos man. Keep it up like this please.
The amount of information you gave us in this video is insane and very interesting, I don't normally sit through a full video with stuff like this because most of the time I become bored, but I seriously enjoyed this. Thank you for taking the time to create the video. :)
22:38 - As if this story wasn’t crazy already? 😂
Dude, if they ever make a Hollywood movie on _Outlast,_ they had better give you a call. I’m not sure there’s anyone that has studied it more. 😂
Great job, GH! You can tell you put a lot of time into this! 🤘
Yeah man, I feel like I believe in the Walrider at this point 😂
Yeah there is a lot of material. I like Outlast lore, because it seems easy and simple, but its actually complex. After Outlast Trials, it would be good if Outlast 3 was based on the events from the comics.
An Outlast movie would break the internet because of its elements and story...Outlast 1 and Whistleblower is bad enough....Gluskin scene *shudder* and I'm a girl...
Nah they need to stop turning video games into movies.
@@sbj97 ...You know what fair...but if their was a show or movie inspired by Outlast or something in that genre, I'd like to see that
Haven’t even played the games (yet) but love to hear about the lore and the way you tell it, so interesting
Play them, you will love them. :)
@@rjfulop4057 agreed they’re the best ever I have played!! 😍💖
@@darlingxluxii7977 I can't wait for Outlast Trials 🍻
I’m stuck under the bed in the first level right now LOOOL
Play it with a headset, lights off. You'll love it.
Amazing storytelling, so informative and loved those extra tidbits of explanation of characters without it being intrusive/out of place at all!
So glad I watched this, I have the explanations I have been looking for, so much didn’t make sense when playing it but now it does, thank you for taking the time to explain all the outlasts that are currently out.
I'm so happy that this video has nearly one million views now, seeing how much work and effort you put into packing all the lore of Outlast games and the Outlast comics into a single video, it totally deserves attention this big. Like you said, this was the most ambitious project on your channel and sometimes content creators put so much work into a video and when they release it, it barely gets any appreciation. So I'm sure you are proud that this is your most popular video now.
Holy shit, I literally never put two and two together that Miles was helping Waylon escape and that he was staggering out with the swarm around him. I thought the Walrider was just horrible at killing him. IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW! MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMRH!
I had figured that there were rumors about what the end of the DLC was. That either he was attacking miles as he was leaving or that he was using his nanobots to help him turn around in such a tight space to help him leave. Either way, I wonder what the new Walrider doing now?
@@shioriryukaze Good question. Hope to see in Outlast 3 if that ever happens. For now we'll have to enjoy The Outlast Trials.
Of course he does, Miles probably had to tear himself a new one to buy that Jeep after being fired
Magnificent video! I always love a good video essay, and it's been years since I last played the games, so I was looking for a refresher. Your pacing in this video- the way you organized and introduced information- was perfect, clearly connecting all the moving parts of this series. Great job, and thanks for making it! I'll definitely be checking out more of your work!
Played all the outlast games and just loved every second. Your summary of each game was very satisfying and I love that you started with whistleblower.. beautifully put together and very enjoyable
I never thought Outlast had a comic, its a very good tie in tbh just by looking at this, it really deepens the lore. Thank you for this very fun video
As someone who never took the time to read the comic but loved the games, the plot of the series is a lot deeper than the casual fan would expect. Great video and analysis!
Just what I needed. I loved Outlast 1 so much and hadn't thought to look up the entire story until now. Very eloquently put together.
*sigh* i found your channel through this video just now and after taking a look at your content and realising that all your videos are like this one i know that i have to bingewatch all of them now.
Big props for this one. A great video all around. Loved watching youtubers play outlast 1 but never got too invested in the 2nd one. Thank you for essentially showing me both games and explaining the story ind etail along the way
THIS DESERVES WAY MORE ATTENTION!!!!Your literally the only TH-camr that actually knows how to explain the outlast lore so perfectly I’ve rewatches this video like twice now because of how good and well connected you told the stories of mt.massive and temple gate. Keep doing what your doing man your awesome 👏
i always loved how both games were basically happening at the same time
absolutely insane video. thank you for making the effort to put this together always loved outlast series. and seeing this is just absolutely brilliant
This is the first video I've watched on your channel and I gotta say, your voice and presentation is so good. Even the 50 minute length is the icing on the cake. I'm looking forward to more of your videos :)
having played outlast 1, and whistleblower. it was very nice to see how they even connected in the first place as my first playthrough of both just left me confused as to who that was supposed to be, what did that mean, etc... Great video and a great recommendation by youtube for once.
Just what I needed to take my mind off things for a little bit, was at work had my morning meeting. Came outside to find my father on his steps having a seizure: he’s at the nursing station getting checked up. Going to check on him now.
Keep up the great content as always! 🤙
Ah sorry to hear that. Hope he’s alright 👍
Hope your dad is okay, wish you and him the best.
@@GamingHarryYT It started happening since he got hit by a vehicle and had reconstructive surgery on his skull a few years ago.
He’s doing okay now! They’re getting him back on anti-seizure meds again, been a year since the last one. Everything’s looking good now!
Thanks for everything! Have a good day! ☺️
@@Mr_Cardinal wow life's so cruel sometimes, my thoughts are with you
exactly how i’m feeling right now. had a crappy week and now i can get distracted for a bit
Listen bro. I literally came across your channel yesterday and I've currently got covid. I'm happy to see whilst I've been ill af I have done nothing but hug my dogs and binge watch your videos. The detail and effort you have put into these is unreal. How you tell the story, the key info you've included and the fact your tone fits these a treat. Keep up the good work.
Hope your feeling better now
I don't know what it is about this specific kind of long form content, but god it is so soothing to watch this video over and over
I was too scared to play these games myself but I really enjoyed this video a lot. It explained a lot of the questions I had. Thank you so much! ♥
Me too. I just watched people play.
They almost went off rails towards the end of the 2nd game..but then brought it together so beautifully. Def one of the best horror franchises ATM.
That was very comprehensive and informative! You have a great voice and managed to make all the connections very interesting. I'll definitely check out more of your videos!
Also, Lore & Order is amazing wordplay.
I’ve always watched walkthroughs of outlast and only knew the games on a surface level, but it’s huge storyline and lore is extremely fascinating & bone chilling.
I’m disappointed that we don’t have an official sequel yet, hopefully we’ll catch up to present day on what murkoff has in store next.
Finally after 5 years of studying the lore of the game this video captured my vision perfectly finally my mind can rest after all the theories
Being a fan of the series ever since the first game came out ,i found the story to be sometimes harder to explain ,even though playing through all the games multiple times .Glad you made this video ,which explains pretty much everything . Im excited to see what the Trials and future Outlast games bring !
INSANE VIDEO. INSANE CONTENT CREATOR. IM STRAPPED IN FOR THE RIDE, CANT WAIT TO SEE YOU GROW.
I hope you do more deep dives like this.
Wish I knew how many times I have returned to this video. After being invested in the games and comics for the last decade, it’s fantastic to know others love and follow the storyline. Well done Harry on such a fantastic video. I can imagine it would have taken substantial time to obtain all of the evidence and confirm the flow of events to create this content. Looking forward to what else you post on both this and your 2.0 channel about this series 🫶🏽
Same here. It's nice to see this game getting more attention, lore wise especially. The story is so fascinating
"Her name is Martha. And she is not happy." Having met Martha, I can confirm this statement.
This game franchise is one of my favorite, they NEED to make this a movie.. I love these games.. Anyways great video you wrapped up everything very nicely and I'm pretty sure with the exception of minor details I think you covered EVERYTHING! Great video. Subscribed! :)
The first game being turned into a movie would be excellent.
Yeah I don’t know if you’ve seen the Spanish Zombie Film called REC (zombie film). It’s shot as footage, first person style. If they make an Outlast 1 movie, that’s the way they need to go.
Hollywood cinema. No, thank you.
@@GamingHarryYT Yeah I believe I've seen it, great film! Outlast as a franchise is just such a great piece of media, whether film, game or comic, just wish we had more of it.
Loved it dude!. I really like that you added the comics because I didn’t know how much details they have on characters and story
Thank you so very much for making this video! I can tell how hard you worked on it. Great editing and everything.
The whole lore is so complex and interesting,that this whole needs to be put into a movie
great breakdown and great editing. awesome video
Love your stuff man
Ayo it’s the badass movie compilation guy, love your videos man
Honestly,I like finding random stuff like this.
I'm telling you just scrolling untill you find a very interesting and intriguing thumbnail of a game you mostly just heard about, never played or even watch a gameplay of from someone you have never heard of before and literally watching it all the way through,50 damn minutes and being intrigued even more by it and wanting even more,well,this my man,is content.
Very well done
Really like the way you did this video !!!! every other Outlast breakdown is so boring I always fall asleep. Keep up the good work mate 💯
You sir are a king. You helped me finally understand wtf is going on in outlast especially outlast 2. Again thank you so much putting this vid together
I’ve never even heard of Outlast’s story until I saw these videos now I’m very interested. Keep up the great work!
This was a great video man. Ive watched other explanations of outlast but they never went into such details or into the comics. I look forward to you making more videos on this series as the story progresses, Kudos
I only watched playthroughs of the games and I never knew about the comics. Thanks for putting it all together and explaining. Everything makes a lot more sense now. Great job.
Yeah I always knew the deep lore of Outlast was bleak but goddamn, having it all laid out in one video like this highlights the fact brilliantly.
Excellent job! 🧐👍
You learn something new everyday!
No idea why you're not more popular. Most well known I've watched are not as well informed and well put together as yours.
Keep it going! 💯
Absolutely stunning video, pieced together so well and really easy to grasp! Thanks for this!
5 minutes into this video earned you a like and subscribe. Well worth the watch, thank you for your content. Keep up the great work!
