[rewrite this title]Popular PS4 Horror Game Available for $5 on PS Store

Man, where do I even start with this whole indie game sale thing going on at the PlayStation Store? It’s like wandering into a candy shop with a wallet full of crumpled bills, and you just know you gotta grab those deals before they vanish like smoke. I mean, they’re slashing prices left and right, up to 75% off on a bunch of indie games. And can I just say, some people swear by this horror game I’m about to blab about — they say it’s bone-chilling or something.

So, here’s the real kicker: Outlast — ever heard of it? — is going for five bucks. Yeah, five! Usually, you’d be shelling out twenty bucks, but now it’s like finding a $20 bill in your jacket you haven’t worn since last fall. This steal ends on May 29 at 2:59 in the morning, Eastern Time, so maybe set an alarm. Or don’t, if you’re a thrill-seeker.

The whole setup of Outlast is like a page out of your weirdest nightmare. We’re talking about some creepy mountains over in Colorado, with Mount Massive Asylum sitting there all ominous. This place is a madhouse for the insane, played with by some mysterious corporation, Murkoff or whatever. It’s like “Hey, what could go wrong?” but in a horror movie tone. And then there’s this journo, Miles Upshur, who thinks breaking in is a good plan. Spoiler alert: it’s probably not.

Anyway, the walls are whispering with the mix of religion and science — or is it something we can’t even name? Dude’s only way out is through finding the chilling secrets hiding inside. Like, who even dreams this stuff up?

And if Outlast gets under your skin, there’s this DLC called Whistleblower. It spins the tale that leads into the mess of Outlast and wraps up the scare-fest. Not that it’s on sale, but nine bucks isn’t too shabby, right? So, snagging both the original and DLC for about fourteen bucks is like finding the last piece of a jigsaw puzzle.

As a flashback to when Outlast first dropped in 2013, it got folks buzzing. Critics gave it a solid thumbs-up with an 80 on Metacritic out of 59 reviews. Seems like a pretty solid scare, if you ask me.
