Games or Movies that the writers/creators of Outlast were influenced by.

I'd say Grave Encounters is one of them. Terrible movie but it had its moments and this game definitely reminded me of it sometimes. What about you guys? Anything else you think of that the people that made the game might have been influenced by?

Resident Evil 1 - Scary mansion in the dark with creepy ♥♥♥♥ roaming around in it, and a big "lab" under ground.

SIlent Hill game / movie for the burning of the man on the cross and some other parts like weird ♥♥♥♥ being chained into hospital beds and stuff.

Quarentine movie for camera effects.

You mean Games or Movies that the writers were influenced by, right? Because Games or Movies that were influenced by the writers...well...haven't come out yet, because the game is new. So the answer is none.

Games or Movies that influenced the writers though - Grave Encounters and any other Found Footage movie for sure, and definitely Amnesia The Dark Descent since the gameplay is nearly identical. Any slasher flick. Hostel/Saw (Trager). American Mcgees Alice for the two Naked dudes (Tweedle D*ck and Tweedle Dong, as someone geniusly named them). Wolfenstein. Quite a bit more.

Good Catch guys! I definitely saw some of those too now that you mentioned those! I also got some Mirror's Edge vibe at times with the game's parkour-ish gameplay.

Resident evil, it also had a unit of corporate mercenaries. At least the movie had, I didn't play the game.

Maybe the Silence of the Lambs. Remember the final scene. Buffalo Bill nightvision hunt in the basement.

Also, that motive (am I spelling it right?) about patients having to go through horrors to activate the morphogenic engine was previously used in Amnesia TDD, but there, tortured people produced a substance called vitae which the main antagonist needed.

I just found out what inspired the devs to make Chris Walker call our hero a little pig. It was taken from The Shining. When Jack tries to break into the bathroom, he calls his family little pigs, like in the fairy tale. Also, in Whistleblower DLC, there's a scene where the player has to get to a room with the number 237.
