Myst vs Outlast
Myst
Myst is one of the world's most highly-acclaimed puzzle-adventure game that's set on an island where every object can provide you a clue to revealing an ancient mystery. Filled with challenging puzzles that will give your brain a good workout, the game has astounding graphics for a game from its time, offering players the sort of realism and immersion they have never felt before.A classic and a timeless game, Myst has inspired a generation of gamers and gaem developers and is still influencing the development of some modern games. However, the Steam version of this game tends to be a bit crash-happy, making the game a real pain to play. You might want to try other versions of the game, like the one from GOG, instead.
Outlast
Outlast is an intensely-terrifying, first-person survival horror game where you play the inquisitive investigative journalist Miles Upshur who taking a look at the shady Mount Massive Asylum that was recently reopened by the equally shifty Murkoff Corporation. The asylum has been operating in secrecy and you are there to find out why! Of course, when the truth is revealed to you... you might think twice about your eagerness to uncover it in the first place.Being a story-driven game, you can expect excellent narrative, apt sound effects and immersive graphics to help you push the story along. Unlike some horror games, you can't fight in this game - you are merely a journalist, after all. Thus, its gameplay is rather stealth-based with some elements of parkour. So, you'll need to rely on your awareness and instinct to decide when you'll need to hide and when to simply run for your life. Naturally, you wouldn't want to be caught by any of the asylum's terrifying, criminally-insane patients.
If you're looking for a game to scare the hell out of you before even Halloween comes around, Outlast is the perfect game to do that. Be sure to be prepared for a truly terrifying scare and keep the young uns far away.
