About This Game



Marcus Pitt, a young man whose only claim to fame is that both his parents work at a university, is drawn into the horrors that have emerged on the campus of the very same institution. His journey to find his parents, or at least find out what has happened to them, will take him into his worst nightmares – the seat of learning has been transformed into a place of death and horror. As he makes his way through the madness, Marcus will have to fight to make it out alive and with his sanity intact. Starting with just a handful of items to help him navigate the dimly lit corridors, he has to summon all his strength to survive and continue the search for his parents. Even though it might already be too late, his hopes of finding them alive will not die – unlike everyone else on campus, who already seem to have met their own gory end.

Explore and look for clues that will help you unravel the mystery of how a university has become a slaughterhouse. Keep your eyes open – your flashlight could die any minute and engulf you in darkness. Sneak along corridors, explore every room you come across, and backtrack to find more clues and access additional parts of the university’s campus. But remember – whatever has happened here, evil has now seeped into every part of this immense university.

Main Features

  • Immersive survival horror experience – You never know where enemies will appear from in the darkness.
  • Replay value – Challenge yourself in three difficulty modes, from beginner to hardcore gamer.
  • Keep low and quiet – Stealth is the key to survival... sometimes!
  • Explore – Find items, resources, and collectables to uncover every secret.
  • Hear that?! – An atmospheric soundtrack and ambient sounds that will make your blood run cold.
  • Engulfing VR experience DLC – Completely immerse yourself in the horror with virtual reality (available for HTC Vive).
  • Backtrack – Unlock additional parts of the map. Your exploration will be rewarded!
  • Horrifyingly deadly enemies – Each one is different, so make sure you know what you're doing before you approach them.

Gore, chases, hiding, sneaking, panic, blood, guts. This game is Outlast but without the Night vision camera, whats not to like? :) I dont feel the game is super optimized, but its nothing game breaking. It is scary unsettling horror fun in your face. I like.

After falling through the map three times I think that I am going to just stop playing until this game gets a needed update. I tried this game on normal non VR and it seems relatively unplayable, the physics are there just its visually unappealing, weird sparkles everywhere. Still going to try and see if it does any better in vr mode and will post an updated review.

AAARRRGGGG!! This game is seriously scary. No joke. Why all the screaming? Because I lack the dexterous acuity to master the controls. So I just die. A lot. Reeeeeeeeeeeee!! Follia has it all. Jump scares, blood, psycho killers, puzzles, exploration, gore, gore, GORE!! It reminded me just a little bit of F.E.A.R.. I can't give this a down vote just because I blow at it. I feel like $20 is a little steep... take my opinion with a grain of salt since I was unable to complete the story. Hopefully one day I can conquer this game. Don't give up on me!

This game could have been an interesting game however the gameplay is not good enough the resources are limited especially the flashlights battery it drains fast and it's annoying because it's too dark. It's VR nature makes it hard to be enjoyed from a normal screen.

A shamelessly blatant rip-off of the original Outlast and its DLC (with the occasional Resident Evil-style door-opening animation standing in for a load screen). In every way, shape or form inferior to the material it seeks to "pay homage" to, and yet...quite the entertaining (if slightly overpriced) game in its own right! You can tell that love went into this one. Not as much [i]talent[/i] as Red Barrels perhaps - and in all fairness, probably nowhere near the staff or budget! - but love is love, just the same. In any case, here's a brief list of the [i]less[/i]-than-brilliant stuff you should expect: - The story makes very little sense. That said: the Resident Evil games don't make a whole lotta sense either! - The writing's fairly weak; the grasp of English mostly acceptable, but occasionally laughable (early on, you receive a "Letter form Father"...at least I presume that's a misspelling/typo)! - The voice acting is certainly passable, though no great shakes. - ...

I must say that I did not like this game at first. I thought it was a pathetic parody of the Outlast. The player somehow jumps strangely and you can not immediately focus on the interaction. But I do not regret that I continued to play, because the more I played the more I liked it. I recommend this game to everyone who likes to tickle their nerves and those who like games with a dark atmosphere. Gorgeous graphics and great music did not leave me indifferent. I also liked the story and the huge variety of levels and monsters. I would like to advise developers that if they make a game with a large location limit the player's space where they have already been and where they no longer need to go. This is necessary so that the player does not get confused and understand what he needs to do next. If this game is slightly modified it will be even better than Outlast!

After a strange starting bug I finally got to play this game, and I have to say, it was very enjoyable. It would be enjoyed by fans of resident evil, sillent hill and outlast. The game is a bit rough around the edges with that 'indie' feel, but if you can overlook that, there is a lot of great work here. The story wasn't overly in depth but was enough to keep me going and had me in the palm of its hand in the last scene. I particularly like the old school 'resident evil door effect' being a massive RE fan since I was a child. The monsters were pretty freaky at some points, their designs were well made and they each even had a little back story to them. overall, I would recommend this game to any horror fans looking to kill a few hours with something that felt like it had quite a bit of love put into it. Well done lads.

Atmosphere / Environments are super fucking unsettling, Haven't felt this on edge from a horror game for a while. You can tell it's an indie horror game and has some rough edges. But if your looking to get spooked, then it's definitely worth checking out. Music / sounds / voice acting are great.

Wow what a punch in the face. Game doesn't even start. Stuck at save selection screen. Literally no way to start the game at all. Went to the discussions tab, and seen other people have this problem but the dev has been locking the discussions talking about this. Again do not buy this game as you simply cannot play it. It's impossible to get past the save slot selection screen. Verified files, reinstalled, tested with xbox gamepad and with just mouse and keyboard. There is literally no way to start the game.

I put 55 minutes in this title and... I dont want to hate, because its pretty obvious that some love was put into the game. Still, fact remains that this a generic, buggy, ugly, 'Outlast'. Not even a Walmart brand 'Great Value' version of 'Outlast', but more like the kid who has to bring their 'special paint eating' sister to go with them to play with their friends because their mother made them, version of 'Outlast'. I have heard that the story was good, but I just couldnt stick with it. Reminded me to much of having to muscle threw 'Welcome to Hanwell' all over again, and nobody wants that.
