I am the only one who bought Outlast.......?

Yes.

Lol, yes, maybe - Im too scared to play it also (not bought) after a few games with Amnesia - A machine for Pigs :O :O :O

I finished it, but it took me a while to be honest. I was terrified the entire time! :>

I didn't buy it knowing I won't even be able to set a foot into the next somewhat dark-ish corridor before Alt+F4'ing in utter fear.
As such, my last scary game was Silent Hill 2. I quit when there was a chainsaw in a log of wood, still running, with no one there. (This is 2 minutes into the game)

Yes,u pussy.

Here's the thing - if you want to finish the game, then simply turn off the music. I breezed through the game.

Naw. Though Outlast turned out to be a pretty good game (at least, far better than the average attempt at horror), in the first half of the game it relies far too heavily on screamers and startle scares. Those are just cheap shots and not really horror at all. Startling your audience in the dumbest of ways repeatedly until they get a kind of Pavlovian response going on isn't really 'horror'.

It's kinda like if you had a friend who would stand silently behind open doorways and wait for you to walk by, just so he could jump out and yell "AAAAAAAGAABARGHLA". You wouldn't call that dude scary, you'd call him a dumb douchebag. It's a shame so many people then go on to call that kind of behaviour "super scary A+++ would buy again!", because it only gives bad signals to developers and then drags the horror genre further down overall. Its all too bad because things start to warm up later on, and while it still drops the occasional startle scare, at least it stops with the cop-out screamers and actually tries more to genuinely unnerve you.

I'm hoping it's better than Amnesia: Machine for Pigs. Bought that for my SO, she played for five hours, was creeped out but wasn't scared once in that entire time. That sounds very disappointing. :/ Hopefully she'll like Outlast more.

i can't handle horror/scary/creepy games at all.

eh, id suck it up if you paid for it. thats a lot to throw away if you arent gonna play lol

Wasn't really scary. It was more on immersion, like walking into a dark room feeling that there's something amiss. There weren't a lot of genuine scares.

I bought Foul Play instead. :p

Outlast wasn't very scare imho, this review sums it up pretty good :>

If you don't like scary games, don't get it
