Why did I know that Franco was using bone and teeth as buckshot? The minute they said he was given blanks, I KNEW he was gonna find a fucked up alternative.
That's so f*cked up and disgusting using others or his , I hate everything that has to do with teeth, I can se someone get their nails being ripe off but no one getting their teeth, the sound is so 🤢 By the way, if he would have use his teeth he couldn't be able to speak Isn't he? And would be toothless by now but he still have all his horrible deformed rat teeth 😂
If they have Whitehorn come back could be the uncle. Could have a sister, aunt, and well any type of archetype. Excited to see where this will go and Eastermans further decline. I feel he may be like a reagent himself. He could be being conditioned too hence his decline and him seeing the snakes in the documents. Definitely interesting to say the least and about right in screwed up outlast fashion.
I believe Easterman sees a little bit of himself in Franco. A long time (and I mean almost a year old) theory that I have about Easterman is that he was on the receiving end of an overbearing mother, and as a result, he has "complex" feelings about mothers. Basing this off of, so far, unreleased voice lines where he makes an alarming amount of comments about his mother and mothers in general. Like, emotionally charged comments and rants. His own mother coddled and controlled him, probably as a result of his older brother leaving to go enlist in the military. There's no mention of Easterman's father (just a quick memory of an uncle at a farm), so I'm not sure if he's in the picture. From other comments, his mother was so overbearing that he hated her... but other comments showed her a "doting", all-knowing, mother. Also, weird lines where it gives the impression that his mother treated him as if he was a daughter. There's a line specifically stating that she used to wrap his head in a towel pretending that it was long hair and how beautiful he would look if he was a girl: "The toy factory. Therapy here is like time travel. Perfect unwinding. My mother used to wrap a towel around my head and say, "You would've made such a pretty girl." Hmm. What did you want to be when you grew up?" The comments Easterman makes after being poisoned and losing his hair brought that back to me, because he is literally *mourning* his hair loss. I wonder if Murkoff knew this little tidbit about him and is exploiting it? And I also think he channels his mother sometimes... where I think he's soft and nurturing to the reagents when they do what he expects of them. But other times, like when the reagent wants to leave before they're ready, there's a line where he's derangedly *incensed*. Once I remember the line, I will add it, but I genuinely think he was repeating what his mother said to him when he left for college to get away from her. ETA: This is the line "Why are you working so hard to leave this place? For supposed freedom? Where would you have more freedom than here? You'd do anything you want here. The ingratitude." And two more lines: "Embrace the indifference of the world. Learn to separate correlation from causation. Your birth was an accident, and your mother would've killed you if she could. Just to keep you from leaving her." "You were never good enough for her. I know I never was. You were never good enough. So... why would you change your behavior to accommodate someone you hate."
Fascinating comment, and I myself was not aware of the existence of these lines. If RB decided to put them into the finished game, then this theory would be rock solid. However, I’m a little bit skeptical of making unused assets canon. Still, really good comment and theory
@@sinner2133 I mean, fair. For the lines mentioned, they're either not planned on being released or unreleased *YET* and are just waiting on future updates. Either way, I'm super curious to see how Easterman's story (along with the rest of the prime assets) unfolds.
@@vincentsinclair7749 Thanks. Check out Mercie! and I believe Phantaminum for Outlast voice lines. There might be one other channel I'm forgetting at the moment.
I personally think that Easterman will become a prime asset in the future. I think that his superiors or whoever in his team are slowly poisoning him, making him become mad and that he'll become so unstable, they'll use him for the trials. Imagine him babbling about how the reagents must achieve rebirth and how he will help them. Also I think that the next prime asset will be a cinema actor. The 60's are the years where cinema got bigger and I think Red Barrels will use it to make a mad man that wants to become an A list actor and who thinks that the reagents are trying to sabotage his career, with him being approached by Murkoff to "Create a masterpiece in the cinema with him in the center."
One of my own theories about Easterman branched off in the 'he'll be a Prime Asset' line. I'm still leaning more on Murkoff/Wernicke performing their own experiment, making him a charismatic god-like figure that we see in Outlast 2. Plus, I believe he's already a Prime Asset... more like a Proto-Prime Asset because he was scouted out first, and maybe his brother's situation was manufactured by Murkoff to trap Easterman because he wanted to find out the truth about his brother's death. But, I can still see them making him into the forth one.
Technically Easterman imho is the perfect candidate for MK Ultra, and because of this they wanted him to be a prime asset they made, by that I mean not an outsider like the others, only problem with it is that as with all things like this, he will become out of control and a liability
Wow cinema actor sounds like such a fun idea!!! Maybe something that would align with the depravity of the game is a sex-addicted bombshell who looks like Jayne Mansfield? would love that! A steve McQueen-esque character would work well too but I’d like to see how they work with another female expop other than mother gooseberry
About Skinner Man: it's their take on the myth of the Gray Man. Remember how back in the day everyone was buzzing about how during a dream paralysis everyone would see the same figure - a gray shadow in a hat with red, glowing eyes. Yeap, the collective something-something, blah-blah-blah... Basically, our Skinner Man. Btw: why are they surprised that their docs got leaked, when they literally have Dorris *BLOWING* off guards *DAILY* for goods? Like, don't tell me they somehow don't know about it.
As far as I know, it's actually a representation of Easterman. Given reagents never actually see him, his omnipresent control is manifested via the Skinner Man.
It may be a stretch but could Dorris be seeing Miles and Blake as the figures in her visions? Miles became a ghost when possessed by the Walrider and Blake carried the “Antichrist” baby at the end of Outlast 2. If correct the potentially supernatural connotations would add such a cool layer to an already horrifying and mysterious story.
@TheWinni it's a prologue to the first two games but trials is set in 1965 and the other two games and whistleblower are in 2013, so there's some room for another game in between if they wanted
with the new lore we got its pretty clear they are set ups for new arcs that will probably get touched upon as we get more seasonal updates. but i want to know how old simon peacock is and how he looks relatively normal when he meets up with waylon in the whistleblower dlc.
I think they just used a generic asylum patient model for Peacock and put him in the shadows. Unless of course, Peacock sent someone else on his behalf
In light of all the lore on the obsession Easterman seems to have with recruiting people who have charisma, one underrated figure in the Outlast series has stood out to me: "Father" Martin Archimbaud from Outlast 1. So far there doesn't seem to be any lore on him, but in the first game he clearly displays these signs of extreme charisma and is able to rally most of the inmates at Mount Massive to worship the Walrider. He also interestingly doesn't appear to be scarred from exposure to the Morphogenic engine like the others but clearly has some "relationship" with the Walrider. Could it be that he was transferred from the Sinyala facility and/or was originally a reagent similar to Sullivan Knoth? There doesn't seem to be any additional info on his background and I'm wondering if the Outlast Trials will reveal lore on him like they did on Knoth.
No idea. But I think Father Martin’s arc could be as simple as someone who worships the Walrider in the same way the ex-pops seem to worship Easterman as some sort of god
I'm getting Scarecrow vibes with Easterman/Skinnerman, the pushers kinda look like Scarecrow in the arkham universe, would be a neat twist that they deliver the fear toxin, then Easterman hits em with the fear
I honestly think Easterman will be the Omega Prime Asset, but things will fall apart meaning the unseen Merkof coperation heads have to come up with something new, leading us up to Outlast 1
Nice lore video, I think something crazy is gonna happen with Easterman & Noakes but its not gonna be good. I could also see "Whitehorn" being the Fourth Prime Asset cause there's been some demand for him to be added (uncancelled) plus his name was mentioned by name through some objects within Franco Barbi's trial "Poison the Medicine" and I could see Whitehorn being "the uncle" since Franco Barbi is "the Son"
I'm not sure, since they've taken away Prescott's gun he'd just end up being a big grunt type enemy. I've always hoped Easterman would become a prime asset in the future
@@abe9458 Red Barrels could give "Whitehorn" a chainsaw & change up his character design. Originally Whitehorn was gonna get the shotgun but Red Barrels later decided to give the shotgun to Franco Barbi instead
@@Countryspringtrap I wouldn't mind a fifth Prime Asset, someone that represents a daughter but I just want to see Whitehorn included as a possible fourth Prime Asset, it makes the most sense
The moment Harry talked about the facility making drugs and its in the 60's, I actually thought it was about the contras. Then again, I won't be surprise if the game would eventually reveal the project's involvement with that too.
amazing video as always! i think this might be one of the craziest additions to the outlast lore yet.. and that's saying something, considering it's literally outlast we're talking about here lol. i can't wait to see what else they have in store for us in the trials! red barrels has done it again.
I don't know if you do requests, but is it possible you could do an episode on The Suffering? It's the game's 20th anniversary this year and the first horror game I played that I didn't and I've played it off and on every year around Halloween since its release. It doesn't have the most complex story like the ones you've covered in your other videos, but I think it's a story that is worth recapping.
Been binging your Outlast playlist over the past few days! Thank you for the research you’ve done in both the game and real-world information, these videos have been great!
I was really looking forward to this video, and it’s a banger as the rest of them. I finally bought Trials and I’m so glad I did, and I’d say I joined therapy at the best time possible. By the way, seriously: what the HELL is going on with Easterman? Man is one step away from just self-deleting.
I was waiting patiently for this video and you did not disappoint! Thanks again for quality content you always put so much effort into these and it shows
I genuinly do love your videos. Your voice is calm and you make the videos appealing even when you don't need to see it just listen. Thank you for how hard you work.
I can't wait until they add the "escape" game mode. I can see it being a roguelike game mode with permadeath for your current regent if you die/fail. Would be great if the setting is a riot. That way enemies can stay the same. With maybe the inclusion of a guard variant. I wanna be able to explore the actual base, not just the trials.
Many thanks to you for doing this series. Always online, seasonal/limited event type games aren’t really my thing (not shaming the game or Red Barrels, it’s just my preference) but I love the Outlast universe so your videos are helping me stay up to date.
While the Outlast lore is really well done and very interesting, it's a bit too depressing when you think about how Murkoff aren't some secret organization but are in fact linked with the government and CIA, so it's doubtful that they'll ever be stopped and that the series big bad will lose, in all likelihood things will just keep getting worse
Dorris is a pretty interesting character like Noakes and emily and the fact she says man with a baby and blake had his bady at the end of outlast 2 how would she know 🤔 I'm curious to see were they take the story.
Fuck yeah i was waiting for some lore Edit: god im happy im not the only one having trouble in this new map, ive A+ every trial but i only have gotten A on it, i keep hitting the traps randomly out of nowhere, and it always brings me down to A
I know this is counter intuitive because like, they keep updating the lore but could you do like a mastercut of the outlast lore video with the outlast trials cut in there, where it fits in timeline wise? My husband and i have never played outlast but your lore videos are so well done that its literally like listening to book on tape
Nice video bud!, i enjoyed watching your game explanations especially the popular horror games like amnesias due to the lore. I wish you could make explanation videos on Fear and Hunger, also Fear and Hunger 2 since the games look very scary including its scenery and monsters. I thought itll have very good lore too of what actually happen in those places. Sadly not many ppl make an explanation story of fear and hungers...
Still no shoutout and clearing that The Vietnam re-agent had their mouth taped shut and their hands taped on the wheel. They were a failure and were sacrificed
I do hope that, now with RB figuring out how ranged PA's can work, that Whitehorn will make his debut. They already put his name as an easter egg in the docks map. "Whitehorn Petrolium" ect (dont actually know if there are more but oh wel)
Bah! I want to watch your Outlast Trials but a could friends and I recently started playing and I'm enjoying figuring out the story organically. Almost to the end of the first batch of trials and about to do my first attempt at escaping!
Had 60k Murkoff Dollar And even tho they said that all players got rewarded all items they didn't buy I got nothing and had to start at 0% on the season pass
Does Easterman even remember he had a brother that killed himself and Easterman was trying to figure out if it was really suicide? Pepperidge Farms remembers.
When I read the first of the two last documents I immediately thought of Simon Peacock when it mentioned maggots. Idk why but for the new ending, for some reason, I was expecting Simon Peacock to break through the door considering how “promising” he is. As for Dorris, could she somehow be one of the three dreamers mentioned in that last document in Whistleblower, since she’s having visions of figures like the Walrider and Blake Langerman from the future?
I know I'm late, but that last bit -- have you looked into egregores? That might be the term you're looking for re: the Skinnerman manifesting and growing stronger due to the Jungian concept of the collective unconscious. I'm actually not sure if they're connected "academically" but still a potential neat concept! I also wanted to say that I love your videos! I had been dipping my toe into the horror genre before I looked up Outlast lore (due to a fanfic I liked lol) and found your video shortly after it was posted, and I've been following ever since! I've probably left this comment a few times, but I can't overemphasize how important your videos have been to me getting more interested in horror as a genre, in and out of games I also appreciate all the research you put into this! I can't believe I'm learning about heroin trade in Maoist China at the same time as Jungian theory in a video game deep dive. It's clear how much effort you put into these!
My personal thought is the next Prime Asset will take the role of a sort of religious figure- especially considering how the "family" is now complete and there wouldn't be much else to add on. Maybe they'll be a cult leader (think that might be a bit too early tho, i knew cults got a BOOM in the '70s) or some other type of person people have a habit of deifying (like a tortured artist, band member, etc., etc.) Either way, Red Barrels have been cooking with this game and I'm always glad to plunk my arse down on the chair and watch Gaming Harry explain the lore to me so i dont gotta go hunting for it. (Curse of being a scaredy cat that loves horror)
I love how Outlast is continuously like "You think this is fucked up? Just wait til you hear what the USA (and every other country) were actually getting up to at this time"

Also Clyde - died in year 1961
Why did I know that Franco was using bone and teeth as buckshot? The minute they said he was given blanks, I KNEW he was gonna find a fucked up alternative.
Nah, they sayed it in a trailer.
The guy using his teeth as ammunition is a whole new level of insanity and ingenuity.
It’s not his teeth, but the teeth of reagents. The men hanging in the trial cry about him taking their teeth.
He's using his teeth who u told that😂😂 they litterly show him ripping other people's teeth out
It's not his teeth 😂😂
That's so f*cked up and disgusting using others or his , I hate everything that has to do with teeth, I can se someone get their nails being ripe off but no one getting their teeth, the sound is so 🤢
By the way, if he would have use his teeth he couldn't be able to speak Isn't he? And would be toothless by now but he still have all his horrible deformed rat teeth 😂
He still has too many to have used his own
We have the father(Coyle), the mother(Gooseberry), and the son(Franco).
I guess you can also consider Dr. Futterman the maternal grandfather.
And Easterman is God, a god who is evolving, check out his hands in the new update
If they have Whitehorn come back could be the uncle. Could have a sister, aunt, and well any type of archetype. Excited to see where this will go and Eastermans further decline. I feel he may be like a reagent himself. He could be being conditioned too hence his decline and him seeing the snakes in the documents. Definitely interesting to say the least and about right in screwed up outlast fashion.
Something I should mention. Franco isn't the son. He's the baby
What would that make all the grunts? Cousins?
@@echoiette2292I would view them more as neighbors. It’s hard to kind of tell given the possibilities
Didn't have many expectations about Franco, but when he rose up from inside Jerry's body was the moment I realized he meant business

No way they've added Bin Laden Gaming - *"Den Allen Gaming"* - into the game. The resemblance is uncanny
I was waiting patiently for this video and you did not disappoint! Thanks again for quality content you always put so much effort into these and it shows
Been waiting for this video!!!
So yeah, I guess I better go back and watch the other videos first. Thanks for doing this friend!
Random recommendation but I’m glad it pulled me here because I’m now interested into this game now 😭thank u
its a great horror game but mannn it can get really overwhelming at times, in all the right ways ofcourse
Been waiting on this vid
So much details in the lore be it minor or major its so cool...it connects all games
I genuinly do love your videos. Your voice is calm and you make the videos appealing even when you don't need to see it just listen. Thank you for how hard you work.
I can't wait until they add the "escape" game mode. I can see it being a roguelike game mode with permadeath for your current regent if you die/fail.
Would be great if the setting is a riot. That way enemies can stay the same. With maybe the inclusion of a guard variant.
I wanna be able to explore the actual base, not just the trials.
Many thanks to you for doing this series. Always online, seasonal/limited event type games aren’t really my thing (not shaming the game or Red Barrels, it’s just my preference) but I love the Outlast universe so your videos are helping me stay up to date.
Really hoping the fourth Prime Asset will be "The Daughter" instead of Whitehorn. ♀️🎀💖💕
What? Wait is there votes on the new Prime Assets?
While the Outlast lore is really well done and very interesting, it's a bit too depressing when you think about how Murkoff aren't some secret organization but are in fact linked with the government and CIA, so it's doubtful that they'll ever be stopped and that the series big bad will lose, in all likelihood things will just keep getting worse
Boom baby keep the vids coming!
was waiting for this one lfg
Nice one !
This Barbie isn't pink but he has a mean set of teeth
Come on Barbi let's go party. 😂🎀💖💕
Yoooo the update is fantastic 👏 and wasn't expecting the rebirth trial to be mad crazy
Dorris is a pretty interesting character like Noakes and emily and the fact she says man with a baby and blake had his bady at the end of outlast 2 how would she know 🤔 I'm curious to see were they take the story.
I have been waiting for this vid your voice is perfect for these type of vids
That “mana-personality” comment of the doctor’s has been around for a while already.
Fuck yeah i was waiting for some lore
Edit: god im happy im not the only one having trouble in this new map, ive A+ every trial but i only have gotten A on it, i keep hitting the traps randomly out of nowhere, and it always brings me down to A
Been waiting for the video
I know this is counter intuitive because like, they keep updating the lore but could you do like a mastercut of the outlast lore video with the outlast trials cut in there, where it fits in timeline wise? My husband and i have never played outlast but your lore videos are so well done that its literally like listening to book on tape
I’ve thought about it but because they take so much work, I’m just gonna do a big video when trials is done with.
Nice video bud!, i enjoyed watching your game explanations especially the popular horror games like amnesias due to the lore.
I wish you could make explanation videos on Fear and Hunger, also Fear and Hunger 2 since the games look very scary including its scenery and monsters. I thought itll have very good lore too of what actually happen in those places.
Sadly not many ppl make an explanation story of fear and hungers...
Alright more lore!
Still no shoutout and clearing that The Vietnam re-agent had their mouth taped shut and their hands taped on the wheel. They were a failure and were sacrificed
Hey, I saw your video on the back room 1998 and they actually found the guy after 50 years
I do hope that, now with RB figuring out how ranged PA's can work, that Whitehorn will make his debut. They already put his name as an easter egg in the docks map. "Whitehorn Petrolium" ect (dont actually know if there are more but oh wel)
I hope so too, I honestly think Whitehorn is much more visually frightening than franco
Make a compilation bro- I need something to go to sleep for like 6 hours 😆
I was wondering how long it would take for the update to get a video. In Gaming Harry we Trust
Bah! I want to watch your Outlast Trials but a could friends and I recently started playing and I'm enjoying figuring out the story organically. Almost to the end of the first batch of trials and about to do my first attempt at escaping!
Enjoy! That's the best way to discover the story. Makes it more horrifying.
Had 60k Murkoff Dollar
And even tho they said that all players got rewarded all items they didn't buy I got nothing and had to start at 0% on the season pass
Small error 6:30 Franco was 10 not 12 ! But great vid
Says in the Clyde Perry documents that he was 12
@@GamingHarryYT really ? I wonder if that was a mistake then cause the comic says 10
Yea the comic did mention he was 10 so it was a mistake somewhere on the authors part
Does Easterman even remember he had a brother that killed himself and Easterman was trying to figure out if it was really suicide?
Pepperidge Farms remembers.
I mean, they could add Simon Peacock to the current story ❤
When I read the first of the two last documents I immediately thought of Simon Peacock when it mentioned maggots. Idk why but for the new ending, for some reason, I was expecting Simon Peacock to break through the door considering how “promising” he is. As for Dorris, could she somehow be one of the three dreamers mentioned in that last document in Whistleblower, since she’s having visions of figures like the Walrider and Blake Langerman from the future?
I know I'm late, but that last bit -- have you looked into egregores? That might be the term you're looking for re: the Skinnerman manifesting and growing stronger due to the Jungian concept of the collective unconscious. I'm actually not sure if they're connected "academically" but still a potential neat concept!
I also wanted to say that I love your videos! I had been dipping my toe into the horror genre before I looked up Outlast lore (due to a fanfic I liked lol) and found your video shortly after it was posted, and I've been following ever since! I've probably left this comment a few times, but I can't overemphasize how important your videos have been to me getting more interested in horror as a genre, in and out of games
I also appreciate all the research you put into this! I can't believe I'm learning about heroin trade in Maoist China at the same time as Jungian theory in a video game deep dive. It's clear how much effort you put into these!
Franco is a great character, but for me personally he wasn't used as good as he could have been, the lore via the comic was kinda meh
Maybe it was too rushed, but at least he is well made as an enemy
"Jung" is pronounced with a long J I believe, pronounced "Yung"
Been waiting for this g
My personal thought is the next Prime Asset will take the role of a sort of religious figure- especially considering how the "family" is now complete and there wouldn't be much else to add on.
Maybe they'll be a cult leader (think that might be a bit too early tho, i knew cults got a BOOM in the '70s) or some other type of person people have a habit of deifying (like a tortured artist, band member, etc., etc.)
Either way, Red Barrels have been cooking with this game and I'm always glad to plunk my arse down on the chair and watch Gaming Harry explain the lore to me so i dont gotta go hunting for it. (Curse of being a scaredy cat that loves horror)
You are awesome Harry ❤ really enjoy your videos!
What if instead of his name being Simon Peacock it was Simon Poopcock???
They should give you a sponsorship because I bought the game because of you
honey stop gaming harry posted a video
im predicting it now-- easterman is going to become a prime asset at some point.
sometimes i wonder if he notices me and my plates
Hey harry great video, question do you plan to do a Lore video of the new remenat 2 Dlc?
I’ve been on the fence about getting outlast trials since the beta but seems like it’s definitely had enough time in the oven
Love this series. You explain the game in a very easy to understand way. Thank you!
What boggles my mind is that even though it's the 1950s no one sounds like their from that era
I think Easterman is abusing that LSD
I love how Outlast is continuously like "You think this is fucked up? Just wait til you hear what the USA (and every other country) were actually getting up to at this time"
