But there’s more to the ending outside of the mysterious birth (which we’re hoping Red Barrels eventually gives definitive answers to), there’s also Blake’s final vision of Jessica, his childhood friend. With everyone falling victim to the experiment, it’s possible that it was one huge, shared hallucination.
This would help explain how Lynn went from perfectly healthy and decidedly not pregnant to giving birth in what appears to be only a matter of days in Outlast 2’s story. In the past, Murkoff’s experiments led women to develop psychosomatic pregnancies that came across as quite real even though there was nothing there. When all is said and done, it’s difficult to decipher if there was ever any baby at all. It’s next to impossible to trust what Blake witnesses in the latter half of the game as his mind and memories are warped and he falls under the control of something else. This is after discovering all of the mind-control experiments that the Murkoff Corporation (who you may remember as being the people behind the nightmares of the first game) have been carrying out in the area. After fighting through the isolated, rural Arizona area, Blake’s wife gives birth to a baby before dying. Outlast 2 has a lot of things going on with its story and it all makes for one interesting ending, which is possibly one of the more confusing video game endings of the year thus far.
