Red Barrels had an amazing debut last year with their first person indie horror title Outlast and revealed shortly after that they would explore the circumstances behind the chaos at Mount Massive with the new Whistleblower DLC. That same DLC now has a release date of April and will be heading to the PS4 and PC.
According to Red Barrels’ post on Facebook, Whistleblower lets you play as Waylon Partk, “a software engineer under contract with Murkoff and the man who emailed journalists around the world – including Miles – at the beginning of Outlast.
“Spending a couple of weeks at Mount Massive, during which he was unable to even talk to his wife and son in Boulder thanks to strict security protocols, Weylon developed a deep-seated distrust of the profit-motivated scientists and doctors leading dangerous and irresponsible experiments on their patients. Identifying with those poor souls fueled Weylon’s anger, and set the stage for his unmasking of Mount Massive’s rotten core.”
Interestingly, despite taking place before the original game, it will show events after Outlast and provide the conclusive final chapter to the story of Mount Massive. Stay tuned for more details.
