Hospital is the second chapter of Outlast: Whistleblower.

Summary

Upon waking up, Waylon rips his arms from their restraints, and, after a few seconds, the power turns off. A patient in the cell next to him is then brutally murdered by The Walrider as he watches. With images from the Morphogenic Engine still flickering in his vision, Waylon then retrieves a mounted camcorder for his own use. A Variant enters and unlocks his cell, allowing Waylon to escape. Once he exits the room and walks into the plastic-wrapped hallways, he encounters The Walrider, who attacks him until he flees. Upon evading him, Waylon finds himself in a room with several other Variants, who are stabbing a doctor on a table; they offer to let Waylon stab him as well. When he expresses reluctance, the lead Variant gives Waylon the chance to leave, so he does.

As he exits, he's confronted by another Variant, and runs through a few rooms to escape through an air vent; as he's crawling through the vent, he hears officers discussing a radio that can be used to contact help, and decides to attempt to find and use it. He drops into a room, enters a hall, and follows it to an airlock operation room. A doctor (who masquerades as a patient upon realizing Waylon isn't security) is inside, and, when Waylon opens a door to attempt to help him, a Variant comes in and beats the doctor to death. Waylon goes through the first airlock, climbs atop the plastic passageways in order to pass an area with a broken airlock, and then lands. As he continues traveling, he finds a kitchen, where he witnesses a gluttonous Variant eating the organs of a man whose head is being cooked in a microwave; upon moving closer, the microwaved head explodes, covering Waylon in blood spatter.

As he continues, he encounters a body handcuffed to a door, effectively locking it. He climbs over a doorway in search of the key, only to have the cannibal chase him. After finding and returning with the key, he opens the door and enters the crematorium. Upon walking past a door, the cannibal ambushes him, knocking the door in, and overpowering Waylon. In an attempt to kill Waylon, they struggle with a small electrical surgical saw, until the cannibal gives up. Exclaiming, "You stay there. And cook," he throws Waylon into a furnace. Waylon escapes by punching out a rear wall.

Climbing up an old shaft, he reaches the top, enters a maze of corridors, and encounter the cannibal once again. Running, he escapes, only to pass an airlock, flooded with gas, to witness a man dying inside. Deciding to open the airlock, Waylon goes around, meets the cannibal, and escapes through an air vent. The vent breaks, and he escapes from another room through a tight squeeze. Moving throughout several airlocks and laboratories, Waylon once again escapes the cannibal, turning off the gas that is overflowing the airlocks, and then returns. Once disabling all of the airlocks' gas valves, Waylon runs out to the Recreation Area.

Trivia

• The operating theater at the beginning of the chapter was partly reused from the demo level featured in the first trailer of Outlast.
• After passing the reception desk in the hospital, Waylon notices a flashing light on the panel for room 237 and proceeds to said location. This is a reference to Room 237, a major location from the 1980 psychological horror film The Shining where two primary characters Danny and Jack Torrance are individually confronted by a ghost of a woman who took her own life in that very room. In Waylon's case, he is ambushed by Frank Manera on his way there and has to use a collapsed air duct to escape him. Game designer David Chateauneuf stated that this is one of the more overlooked Easter eggs in the series.
• There are several buttons accompanying the cremation ovens and each one can be activated.
• An occasional glitch can occur for the camcorder's HUD to remain in the player's field of view if the said equipment is left active when triggering the scripted event in the crematorium.
