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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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

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.

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. :)

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'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 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.

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

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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'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!

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!

Favorite part so far is him saying: “Miles regained his composure… and his fingers”

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

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

THIS DESERVES WAY MORE ATTENTION!!!!Your literally the only KZreadr 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 👏

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

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.

i always loved how both games were basically happening at the same time

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.

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 :)

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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

"Her name is Martha. And she is not happy." Having met Martha, I can confirm this statement.

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.

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

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 !!!

Im excited to see what the Trials and future Outlast games bring !

Thank you so very much for making this video! I can tell how hard you worked on it. Great editing and everything.

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.

i remember like seven years ago i was very invested in outlast and it’s lore, so the series in general has a special place in my heart. i didn’t get too much into outlast 2, but it’ll be fun to learn more about it! thanks for the video! :)

Wow, this is such a great video. So informative & gives us such a deep insight into the story & how all of the games are connected. Well done, great video as always.

I am always impressed finding youtubers that still actually put work into what they do bravo. I by chance was reminded of this series recently and was pleasantly surprised to see a new installment on the horizon and to find this video too. Seeing this series put into perspective like this is jarring crazy how twisted but parallel to many real world things this actually is that is the real scary part to me.

Honestly, thank you for doing this. I loved this game series but never had the attention span to read everything so its always nice to have someone more diligent to put the pieces together now I have even more of a reason to love this series

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 💯

I love the explanation. Its difficult for me to absorb the lore in scary games a lot of the time because I'm so freaked out. Super interesting story.

Wow.. the amount of detail in this video is brilliant. Enjoyed every minute of it! Thanks for creating this, I've always wanted to fully understand the Outlast lore but never explored it.
