Chase simulator? You mean high quality narrative horror experience.

Yes. Outlast pioneered and popularized this asymmetric gameplay where you can't fight monsters (of the mind). It has several intertwined deeply embedded unfolding horror stories and well pieced with OL1. You climb, jump, hurdle, slide, crouch, fall, record, hide, run for your life, swim, row boats. And yes walking. But there's no guns, so it's a walking simulator? I could only hope quality games like this keep coming compared to the sh|t games I had when I was younger. Like damn it's better than 95% of horror movies out there. Why are people so hypercritical? I guess it's in kids nature to talk sh|t on everything and everyone. What an age.

Pioneered, hum, pretty sure Penumbra and Amnesia were already doing it before Outlast one come out

Exactly.

OP, you're talking about "chase Simulator" (which is the case in Outlast, i'm sorry) and then, you're talking about "Walking Simulator", that's not exactly the same thing.

Dear Esther is a narrative walking simulator.
Outlast is a narrative horror chase simulator. Yeah.

I don't care what other people thinks about this game, i'm just having good time playing it. Great story, really waiting for the DLC to understand the story completely.

Pioneered? No. There was Hellnight, Clock Tower and many others even before Outlast and Amnesia. Popularized? No again. Amnesia was first.
The fact that you call it "high quality" only means you don't know anything about narrative and horror.
