So, there’s this big ol’ sale going on in the PlayStation realm right now — Next Level Savings or something — and gosh, they’re practically giving away some indie games. Kinda wild, right? Up to 75% off on PS4 and PS5 stuff. I stumbled across a horror game deal, and oh boy, this one’s a doozy. People say it’s spine-chillingly scary. Or maybe that’s just me being a chicken.
## Horror game Outlast is $5 on the PS Store
Alright, so here’s the scoop: Outlast — that eerie game set in some creepy Colorado mountains — is only $4.99 on the PS Store. Normally it’s like twenty bucks, so yeah, 75% off is no joke. But blink, and you might miss it; the sale’s wrapping up on May 29 at 2:59 a.m. Eastern. Why 2:59 a.m.? Beats me.
The game blurb paints a nice picture of terror: “In the remote mountains of Colorado, blah blah blah, Mount Massive Asylum, horrors galore.” Sounds chill, right? Apparently some mega-corporation’s been running this asylum under wraps, Murkoff something-or-other. You play as Miles Upshur — man, what a name, huh? He’s a journalist who decides to snoop around, and let’s just say, things get… intense. Makes me wonder why anyone would ever, you know, voluntarily enter a place like that.
Now, if Outlast hooks you — and it might, with all this spookiness — there’s DLC called Whistleblower that ties things up. It’s like a prequel and sequel rolled into one, though not on sale, sadly. It’s $8.99, so you’re looking at just under $14 for the full package. Kinda sweet deal if you like the adrenaline rush.
Back in 2013, critics gave Outlast a pretty decent thumbs-up across 59 reviews, with an average score of 80 over on Metacritic. But hey, numbers only tell part of the story. Maybe it’s amazing, or maybe you’re just into the whole heart-pounding, horror vibe. Either way, you do you.
