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.

Enjoyable but not anything particularly memorable.

In Part 4 of this comic series, the Pauls investigate Miles Upshur's house and come across Simon Peacock, who leaves the first hints of what will be the events in Outlast 2.

This one was actually a little funny. The usually deeply disturbing Murkoff bad guys in the games have been somewhat on par in the comics, but this time they're more human. The story starts digging into their character rather than just their roles within Murkoff. It's also interesting to see what becomes of the protagonist from Outlast 1 and the hinted good guy of Whistle-blower and earlier parts of this comic series.

I’m still very confused how Billy and Peacock can have Walrider capabilities at the same time? Is it not a single host??

Just wanna know if my man Miles is alive :(

The artwork in these is so pretty in such a weird way. The story is off the wall bonkers, but I'm here for it.

The fourth volume of the Murkoff Account is rather strange. It feels more like a comedy than anything else.

more like a 4.5 𑣲 I'd take off half a star for the sloppy, half-finished nature in some of the pages.
