Go play the Whistleblower DLC instead of reading this.

I went into reading these issues thinking they'd clear fog regarding some central characters but not only was this not the case, the story was poor and badly-written.

Since its interest in the Mount Massive Asylum as is learned in the original games, the infamous Murkoff Corporation worked tirelessly conducting experiments on patients to create a host for their swarm of nanites (The Wallrider). The mentioning of MK Ultra was only natural at this point, and helped clarify the essence of the program.

This isn't something mentioned in the comic issues. How very sad.

On another note, the choice of artwork is befitting — silhouettes are vague, character faces are diffused, almost grotesque. The use of sketch and monotones greatly enhanced the propagated eerie feeling.

We get to experience the stories of the Murkoff Insurance Mitigation Office first-hand, whose main interest is to minimize economic fallout. Oh, goodie! Too bad it felt like two rookie cops getting themselves into a lot of trouble.

This part covers Billy Hope's story as well as some background on Paul Marion. It almost stands alone. The first two parts tie more of the overall Outlast story while this one tells two, almost self-contained, personal, parallel stories that happen to include characters that have larger roles outside of this part. It was fast and fun with an interesting plot twist.

This is my favourite so far. Basically what you'd expect from Outlast.

I really like the cover and the artstyle was less sloppy in this one.

The tensions rose and the plot was absolutely fire.
