OUTLAST: Whistleblower is a prequel to the events of the game OUTLAST, this time from the perspective of software engineer Waylon Park who worked at Mount Massive Asylum. After witnessing the corrupt nature of Eddie Gluskin and his morphogenic engine and the company in which he worked, he sends an email to Miles Upshur, the investigative journalist whom we play in the first game. Waylon is then caught and institutionalized for leaking out important information. During the game, much like the first, you cannot attack anyone, you can only run or hide. This game also gives a lot of characters upfront in the sense that you get to see a lot of the same characters that are in the first game, OUTLAST such as Father Martin. a new enemy makes an appearance in the story to deepen the plotline even further. His name is Dennis, and he has dissociative identity disorder, offers our character up as a sacrifice to Gluskin, AKA “The Groom” Denis, or as is called in one of the notes, “Dissociative Denis” claims that Waylon Park is a suitable sacrifice and captures him, (which will result in you feverishly running from him). Denis has four identities within him 1. A brother named Timmy 2. Another brother with a speech impediment 3. Their father 4. The grandfather All are active at once and talk to one another simultaneously during the time you try to escape from Denis. Now Denis is only the tip of the ice burg, you also meet a cannibalistic hack job named Frank Manera who tries to burn you alive and cut you into pieces. Why doesn’t he just castrate you…. Oh wait, I think Denis tries to do that actually, moving on… Yes this game is crazy, yes this DLC has to allot packed into it all at once, and YES it prequels the first game seamlessly, but what I don’t get is how this game and the first are very different from the second OUTLAST. Like I’ve stated before I really like OUTLAST Two, but something about it makes it feel separate from the first game and this DLC. Getting towards the end of the game we return to the main hall and discover a dead doctor, which leads me to believe that this was taking place while the events of the first game were happening because a dark figure which has to be Miles Upsurs Walrider infested body that appears with a black mist around it when we are leaving the premises. After leaving, and fully recovered Waylon Park sends an email to leak everything that has happened at the Asylum. My thought on this DLC in correlation with the first and second game is that if you look at it for what it is without reading the graphic novels the second game will feel very distant from the first and the DLC. In order to grasp the entire miasma of what Murkoff is, and who these minimally shown characters are I feel like one would have to delve into the graphic novels to see how everything is truly connected in the end. So did I enjoy this DLC, I really did! I followed the first game so smoothly, the controls were very comfortable to use and it held the same suspense that OUTLAST had. So if you guys have played it let me down in the comments!
