Miles begins his journey outside of the asylum and slowly uncovers its secrets Waylon, on the other hand, is fully aware of those secrets from the very beginning, and only wants to get the hell out of there. The gameplay is practically identical to the original – around three quarters of the way into the game, Waylon injures his leg and walks with a noticeable limp thereafter, but that’s about it – so the primary draw to Whistleblower is the story, and fortunately, the contrast between Waylon and Miles is more than enough to hold your attention. As such, when the riot that Miles only ever saw the aftermath of breaks out, Waylon witnesses things first-hand and has to escape, not only to survive, but to reunite with his wife and children. While he was successful at contacting someone, this act didn’t quite escape the attention of the Murkoff Corporation, and Waylon quickly finds himself forcibly admitted to the asylum as a patient himself.
#OUTLAST PLOT SOFTWARE#
Whistleblower, as the name suggests, focuses on Waylon Park, the software engineer from the original game who took a two-week contract with Mount Massive Asylum and contacted Outlast protagonist, Miles Upshur, to expose the illegal experiments that they were conducting. Perhaps that’s why, barely two months after it had been released, Red Barrels announced the DLC storyline ‘ Whistleblower’, and just six months after the announcement, it was released to (further) critical acclaim. The in-your-face horror of the infrequent jump-scares, coupled with the surprisingly substantial lore for both characters and setting had bridged the gap between the Five Nights at Freddy’s crowd and the Amnesia: A Dark Descent crowd, and having been produced by a small team and marketed sensibly, it was certainly profitable too. Outlast was an instant success when it was released in September 2013.
