![]() ![]() By the end of the game, even Knoth seems to have been shocked back to some semblance of sanity. In a dark twist, it turns out that Lynn and Blake's child is the Antichrist - or at least, the cult BELIEVES it is. The Antichrist: What with Knoth's cult being based around The Book of Revelation-style teachings on the End Times, it makes sense that this would be a subject of the story as well.To further play up the realism (and add insult to injury), they aren't even huge bolts, as they have to fit into a small crossbow that someone as tiny as Laird can wield. You can take, at most, two hits from Laird's crossbow before dying. Outlast: The Murkoff Account helps clear most of this up. Is Lynn's child really the Antichrist? Was the final shot really the apocalypse beginning and/or the Murkoff building exploding? That is, if the baby was real to begin with. Ambiguous Situation: A lot of the final moments of the ending are unclear.Datamining of the models reveals the breasts are fake and made of mud and there's a small hint of a penis under the mud vagina, implying Val is a trans woman. Red Barrels gives us a concrete Shrug of God when asked about it. Ambiguous Gender: Val clearly has the body of a woman, but there's a lot of evidence to suggest otherwise.Speaking of Blake, he's still alive but is stuck in a catatonic state, and the explosion he witnessed wasn't the sun but actually the Murkoff building. note Though why Lynn couldn't see the baby, if her "There's nothing there" line was any indication, is unclear. The only reason Blake was able to see the baby was because he was brainwashed as well, explaining his frequent hallucinations. The ending is also given some better context Lynn's sudden pregnancy was actually a phantom pregnancy caused by the tower relays, meaning that the baby was, in fact, never real.The inhabitants of Temple Gate are all under the influence of brainwashing microwaves emitted by several nearby tower relays, which were set up by the Murkoff Corporation.All There in the Manual: Outlast: The Murkoff Account provides some backstory for the game's events.Or not, thanks to Your Mind Makes It Real and the towers messing with their heads as much as everyone else's. All for Nothing: Lynn dies at the end of the game, rendering everything Blake has been through to save her completely meaningless.However, it gets a Surprisingly Realistic Outcome when the air vent can't hold his weight, and he collapses through it into the room below. ![]()
