Games like Outlast

3.5average player rating•5 games

Outlast’s pull is pure vulnerability: first-person terror where you’re unarmed, hiding and sprinting by a dying night-vision camera. These picks keep the no-gun stealth, hunted-by-sound chases, and resource pressure that turn corridors into decisions.
