8 Ridiculous Video Game Premises That Make No Sense
6. Outlast
The premise: Freelance journalist Miles Upshur finds himself the recipient of a tip-off detailing a series of inhumane, very illegal human experiments being conducted within the walls of a privately-owned, remote psychiatric hospital run by a notoriously shady organisation.
Why it makes no sense: Cleary doing what any experienced investigative journalist would do, Miles throws caution to the wind and heads straight for the murder house on his lonesome, deciding that logic is an unnecessary quality for an occupation revolving around fact-finding.
Does Miles question the validity of the tip-off? No. Does he attempt to trace its source? Nope. Does he inform the relevant authorities of what would be a serious breach of human rights as his first port of call? Nah. He busts his way through the front door without caution or company, trespassing on private property without permission. Smart.
You deserve your fate as the Walrider's host, Miles. That's how fate rewards stupidity.
