Important Notes: Outlast

⚠️ Critical Warnings

• No Combat: You cannot fight enemies. Your only options are running, hiding, and using your camera’s night vision. Trying to attack or push enemies will result in instant death.


• Camera Battery is Life: Your camcorder’s battery depletes even when not using night vision (slowly). Running with night vision on drains it faster. Letting the battery die leaves you completely blind in dark areas—certain death. Always plan battery usage and pick up every spare battery you see.


• Sound Betrays You: Enemies have sharp hearing. Running, opening doors loudly, or even breathing near a hiding spot can alert them. Crouch-walk as your default movement, especially when you hear footsteps or breathing nearby.


• Death is Permanent (Almost): There are no checkpoints mid-chase. If you die during a scripted chase sequence, you restart from the last autosave (usually at the start of the area or encounter). This can set you back several minutes.
