Listen, I love horror. Anything and everything horror. I love horror movies, I love horror fiction, and I really love horror games. It is for that exact reason that it is quite hard to shock me. I feel that up to this point, I have seen it all when it comes to this genre. Cue Outlast to prove to me how wrong I was.
Though the game itself is filled with shit-your-pants moments, there was one in particular that I can safely say was the most uncomfortable a video game had ever left me. I am not necessarily saying that’s bad thing, but I am saying it as a fact. So what was the moment? Well, if you played Outlast, you know exactly what I am talking about.
A big part of the gameplay mechanic for Outlast was the fact that you are powerless, and have nothing but a small camcorder with a night-vision lens to record everything. In the scene that I am talking about, you come around a corner and you see a guy ramming a corpse in the ass. Like, see it clearly. I will never forget his hip thrusts.
*Shudders*
The worst part is that he sees you and flips the fuck out, calling you the pervert for filming him doing this, and repeatedly saying that he didn’t invite you to watch. It is a completely jarring moment, the most disturbing thing I have ever played in a game, and a completely unforgettable gaming moment from 2013.
