    Just want to thank you for what you do, a lot of these games I'm too anxious to actually play, but the lore is super intriguing so I still get to experience them.

    Red Barrels has outdone themselves… I’ve heard some people say that the update was minorly lackluster from a gaming standpoint… I love it. All things aside.. the amount of historical alignment and understudy for the sake of lore is spectacular. They have consistently proven to Outlast fans that they do love this game. Thank you Red Barrels.

      You should look into the Montreal Experiments :) they’re not really a part of the outlast story but it was the Canadian extension of MKUltra headed up by the same people. The CIA is responsible for some truly fucked up stuff

  • @CanyonALynn
    @CanyonALynn 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +57

    I love that you go into the background history instead of just regurgitating basic info directly from the game! It gives much needed context for the overall story.
    And I agree with the fact that probably since day one, my theory is even before that, Easterman is being subject to some higher, overaching experiment by Murkoff but more specifically Dr. Wernicke. And if he's the 'god' of Temple Gate, then...
    ...I love Outlast!
    ETA: So, hold on a moment. The Korean POW thing that the CIA/Murkoff pulled Easterman into in the very beginning was based fundamentally a lie? All Easterman originally wanted to know, to understand, what happened to his older brother Stanley during the Korean War. I *really* think Easterman was scouted out by the CIA/Murkoff (like a prime-prime asset) before he even was approached by the CIA. My theory is that his 'research' in Hong Kong was a test and he somehow passed when he accidentally generated enough trauma in one of the subjects to briefly summon the Skinnerman. Just a theory.

    • @GamingHarryYT
      @GamingHarryYT  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +22

      Unless the Skinnerman is represented in a different way to different groups of people. Maybe the Skinnerman took on a different form for the HK POWs, than that of Easterman to the Reagents. For example, the Skinnerman to BLAKE, could’ve been the entity in the school, which was of course a representation of how he saw Loutermilch.

    • @CanyonALynn
      @CanyonALynn 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +10

      @GamingHarryYT Agreed. I also believe the ongoing deeper fan theory that this phenomenon(?) is unique to the Outlast universe. It is an entity that has a unique appearance based on the thoughts/experiences/sanity of either the individual and/or group. Almost like a personal Silent Hill entity. Therefore, the Temple Gate god, Skinnerman (both Hong Kong and Sinyala versions), Loutermiltch, and the Walrider are the same type of phenomenon brought forth by different minds. I think Dr. Wernicke is trying to artificially recreate it, which he briefly did in Berlin, but for what overall purpose...?

      What did Wernicke do in Berlin?

    • @CanyonALynn
      @CanyonALynn 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      @imnotusingmyrealname4566 In Berlin, while he was working for the N*zis in 1938, he created the first iteration of the Morphogenic Engine and caused a very brief flash/appearance of an entity. This is thought to be the very first appearance of the Walrider, or an entity/phenomenon like it. This information comes from a document Miles Upshur found during Outlast 1 called The Spirit Breach.

    I gotta ask:
    Did you really do all that research with the newspaper clips? Or were those in-game?
    Because that is some unreal effort, especially trying to establish a connection between OUTLAST’s lore and real life history.

    Due to the time period I was thinking that perhaps the toxic shock gas could be the gas later dropped during the Vietnam War codenamed project orange?

Why are you pretending that the soviets carried out justice against unit 731 while the US immorally used their research when, in reality, the soviets did the exact same thing: setting up their own biological weapons research lab using the research they recovered as well as research given to them in return for leniency by members of 731.

Both sides were buttholes during the Cold War, but the whole thing about the Outlast Trials is focusing on the dark stuff that the US Government and the CIA got up to.
