Outlast

Miles gets an email from an unknown person, reading:

''“You don’t know me. Have to make this quick. They might be monitoring.''

''I did 2 weeks of software consult at MURKOFF Psychiatric Systems’ facilities in Mount Massive. All sorts of NDA’s I am very much breaking right now but seriously, fuck those guys.''

''Terrible things happening there. Don’t understand it. Don’t believe half the things I saw. Doctors talking about dream therapy going too deep, finding something that had been waiting for them in the mountain. People are being hurt and Murkoff is making money.''

It needs to be exposed.”

With the printed copy of the email by his side, Miles drives to Mount Massive Asylum for the Criminally Insane, where he enters the building through a side window and uncovers the horrors that await him first hand.

Outlast: Whistleblower

Waylon anxiously thinks about his next action, when he finally decides what the Murkoff Corporation is doing is so wrong that he must become a whistleblower. He types out an email to investigative journalist Miles Upshur (see above) and hits send before being interrupted by another Murkoff employee. Waylon exits the room to do his job.

Near the end of Waylon’s night-long time attempting to survive the asylum, he escapes through a door which leads him to an open window where in the distance he can see a burning church. The same church that Miles himself was in a short time prior, one that was burned ultimately for him.

Waylon manages to make it to the asylum’s main doors, where he’s met by Jeremy Blaire, a Murkoff executive, leaning injured against the doors. As Waylon moves closer to the door, trying to escape, Jeremy jumps him, stabbing him in the abdomen. Waylon struggles to crawl away, as Jeremy hastily limps after him, saying, “No one can know!” Moments later Jeremy is picked up by the Walrider/Miles and is hosted high in the air before being exploded from the inside out, Jeremy’s dismembered body landing next to Waylon. Picking himself back up, Waylon finally escapes. Waylon comes to find a red jeep parked out front—Miles’ red jeep. He limps for it and climbs inside, finding the car keys still in its ignition. Waylon picks up his camcorder one last to see a shadow-like smokey figure standing outside near the entrance of the asylum. It begins to make it’s way right for him and not wasting any more time, Waylon starts the jeep and plows through the asylum’s gates
