I was doing okay in the notorious first basement of Outlast until I got killed a couple times and became completely paralyzed by fear and dread. For those who don't know, the power has been turned off and you have to go down into an almost completely dark, partly flooded basement, into three rooms and then one center area to activate four things and turn the power back on while a fucking psychic with a club and incredible night vision hunts you. Outlast has a checkpoint save system, so if he kills you, you're right back to the basement entrance and have to go press all the whichwhats all over again. It's possible to stealth it for the most part if your timing is good and you listen for him in the noisy-ass water, or you can run through like a maniac and hope he doesn't get more than four hits on you, or you can hide in a locker for an hour and a half, shaking and trying to talk yourself into just getting it over with already, which I found the best option. It really is terrifying, and lots of players say it's the hardest part of the game. Unarmed survival horror is fun for me to watch, but boy do I suck at playing it, unsurprisingly. The Shalebridge Cradle was nowhere near as bad, probably because I was armed to the teeth and an experienced adventurer, not a journalist with terrible judgment. I love his snarky writing and am really enjoying putting my own spin on him as a character with very little canon to go on, but man, he should have taken a page from Freddie Lounds and shown up to the mysterious tip location with a gun. Even if guns didn't work out for anybody else, come on now. Most people would pick something up and at least try to defend themselves if they had to, which I think is where these games fall apart a little. I actually felt physically ill. I'll do a lot for fic research, but throwing up is right out, lol. Then I couldn't sleep until the sun started coming up. Joy!

I'm going to go ahead and cheat like a motherfucker as soon as I recover enough to go back in, because I was loving the exploration and taking pictures. It's all so horrible-beautiful, and such a big model of a Kirkbride style asylum that it's like urbex without the tetanus or risk of arrest! You can speed yourself up and slow your enemies down by editing the config file, it's hilarious. I've felt the fear, I get it, now leave me alone, you meanies, haha. Feel free to share your gaming or other mishaps. :D

Sneak: I'm so glad you're enjoying the game! Rock on! :D

Rogan: I haven't had any gaming mishaps lately, aside from that goddamn game-breaking glitch in Monster Bash that I haven't figured out how to get around. Bugs the hell out of me too!
