Outlast (Xbox Games With Gold)
Outlast has us explore a creepy asylum as investigative journalist Miles Upshur. Armed with only a video recorder, players will have to make their way through the asylum and uncover the terrifying horrors that lie within. You don’t have any weapons in this game, so if you do happen to encounter hostile patients (and you will), you’ll have to either run for your life, or hide and pray they don’t find you.
Outlast is plenty scary with its great use of atmospheric tension and the need to rely on your recorder’s night vision mode when it gets too dark, but it also plays host to a pretty decent horror story that will keep you engaged from start to finish. Outlast is one of the free games you can get with Xbox Live’s Games With Gold this December.
