He then seems to thank God again for taking away the temptation, but at this point things get much angrier, and then almost seamlessly transition into what might be a conversation between Blake and Loutermilch. The speaker also thanks God for killing Jessica.Īs the audio continues things only get more disturbing, Loutermilch seems to be justifying his actions out of some twisted idea concerning the connection between music and love, and his responsibility as a teacher. Also notice that what looks originally like a flickering skull in the static is actually the Murkoff company logo, which would seem to confirm that Murkoff is behind the hallucinations.ĭisturbingly, the footage itself gives us a chance to see into Loutermilch’s sick internal struggle through what appears to be a confession. You can watch our clip of the footage here.
The voice appears to the abusive priest Father Loutermilch (or potentialy Blake himself, though it’s hard to tell), and there’s no denying that the subject matter is concerning Loutermilch’s obsession with Jessica. Once captured, we tossed the clip in a video editing program and reversed the footage.Īfter a bit of trimming, we ended up with a short haunting monologue with a uniquely creepy setting. This sequencing is supported by a comment Red Barrels co-founder Philippe Morin made in our recent interview with him, in which he referenced the film Memento. We chose to begin at the end so to speak, because Blake comments several times in game that the events in his hallucinations feel like they’re occurring in reverse order, so if we wanted to get the correct chronology we figured we should started there. To capture the footage we recorded each of the in game static recordings, beginning from the last one in the sequence to the first.
In the case of the original trailer we got to listen to a delightful passage from the bible read by none other than Papa Knoth himself, except it was also gibberish, which only became a bible passage when played in reverse.įor these cryptic static recordings, we get a chance to see this trick at work once again. So what’s the deal? Well, if you remember the cryptic message Red Barrels used to originally tease Outlast 2, then you’ll remember that they love to take audio and reverse it to conceal hidden messages.

But when you attempt to review the footage at a later date your video evidence of creepy hallways or toilets full of blood is nothing but static and gibberish. When Blake is going through his guilt-ridden hallucinations regarding Jessica (in the game’s school scenes) the player occasionally has an opportunity to stop and record some of the crazier events that rip through Blake’s psyche. We’ve covered most of what we know about the game’s story so far, including important information found in the associated comic books and even a Tumblr account. Yet one of the recently discovered secrets is actually a simple puzzle hidden within Outlast 2‘s in game recordings.
It’s clear by now that Outlast 2‘s narrative holds secrets around nearly every corner, from hidden towers and ambiguous childbirth, to hallucinations large and small.
