About

Whistleblower will let you play as Waylon Park, a software engineer under contract with Murkoff and the man who emailed journalists around the world - including Miles - at the beginning of Outlast. Spending a couple of weeks at Mount Massive, during which he was unable to even talk to his wife and son thanks to strict security protocols, Waylon developed a deep-seated distrust of the profit-motivated scientists and doctors leading dangerous and irresponsible experiments on their patients. Identifying with those poor souls fueled Waylon's anger, and set the stage for his unmasking of Mount Massive's rotten core.

    Outlast: Whistleblower delivers more of the same gruesome locales and jump-scares as the core game, but doesn't introduce much new to the horror experience. Its sound design is still top notch, and it took me to some dark places that few video games ever dare to go. But while Whistleblower sheds a bit of light on the mysteries of the original, but ultimately feels far too familiar, far too often.

    Whistleblower offers an interesting added perspective on the story and provides some fresh insight into Murkoff as an overall antagonist. I was quite impressed with the increased focus on narrative pacing, something that was much more of an afterthought in the original game. With a much more definitive beginning and ending, Whistleblower actually feels a bit more like a story campaign and less like a haunted house ride.

    Outlast: Whistleblower doesn’t muck around with a formula that’s already proven to work, and it subsequently succeeds at extending the spooky atmosphere of Red Barrels’ survival horror release. The new campaign accompanies the original game well, and even improves upon it in many ways. It also ups the ante in the terror department, hitting harder and more frequently, without relying too heavily on jump scares. As such, if you liked the main game, this expansion is a real scream.

    If horror is meant to plumb your fears and unnerve you, The Whistleblower at least manages that to do so a few times. For the rest, it’s a fun return to the stock release’s setting and mechanics for some solid jump scares and atmosphere, which lasts just long enough to remind of what made the original enthralling.

    Whistleblower es un contenido descargable que tiene difícil entusiasmar a los aficionados, pero que consigue su trabajo de prolongar con eficacia ese mal rato constante que era Outlast. Seguramente el jugador echará en falta más novedades y alguna apuesta distinta en este contenido descargable, pero tal y como está seguramente seguirá siendo capaz de hacernos pasar un mal rato.

    Waylon Park recoge totalmente el testilo de Miles para contarnos, de nuevo cámara en mano, los primeros acontecimientos en el incidente del manicomio Mount Massive. Un viaje en la memoria del nuevo trastornado protagonista y la aclaración de muchos de los cabos que dejó sin atar Outlast, pero en definitiva el mismo juego y situaciones.
