If the player also looks closely at the blue barrels in the chapter, they will see that they say 'This is not a red barrel' with the logo of Red Barrels Studio on them to oppose the cliché, as the studio never intended to feature any red barrels in Outlast. In the Underground Lab chapter, if the player zooms in on one of the emergency lights it will say 'Red Barrels' on it, which is the name of the studio that made Outlast. This is a reference to a scene from Evil Dead 2. Using the camcorder's night vision, a chalk outline of a chainsaw can be found above the key. The game makes a reference to an ending scene from the 2007 horror movie, I Am Legend, when Chris Walker breaks through the fourth airlock in Prison Block.Īt the beginning of the Courtyard chapter, the player can go to the shack with the key in it. This is propably a reference to the ending scene of The Blair Witch Project. In the room, where the player can find the Project Paperclip Excerpt -document, there's another Variant facing a corner who kills Miles immediately if he comes too close.

This sequence was later included in the Xbox One version as an achievement for the game.

This is a reference to Jamie Helman, the senior animator of the game.Īt the beginning of Administration Block chapter, the player can walk up to the elevator, located in the middle of the hallway and trigger an optional event by pressing the elevator button, which will result in a screaming security guard falling down the elevator shaft to his death. The player can also find the name 'Helman' on the computer screens. This is a reference to Philippe Morin, the co-founder of Red Barrels. Throughout the game, the player can find many appliances with the name 'Morin' on them such as pens, heaters, refrigerators, televisions and prescription bottles.
