Zia Sylph Reaches the End of Outlast 2 in a Single Stream
The AStars streamer played the survival-horror game for under two hours, then announced an 8 p.m. talk stream for the same evening.
ASTARS PRODUCTION — Zia Sylph played through Outlast 2, the first-person survival-horror game, on Friday, and reached its ending before the stream closed at 108 minutes. The AStars streamer, who streams in Thai, started a fresh game early in the broadcast with the goal of rescuing a missing companion.
Before starting, she said she had come back from the sea the day before and eaten seafood, and that a server problem had kept her from playing with friends the previous evening. She told viewers to hold their feelings until the game was under way, then warned that its content was extremely violent.
“I forgot to put the music on, everyone. I actually prepared some.” — Zia Sylph, partway through the game
The route took her over a river on a raft, through a mine she described as about 800 feet deep, and on to a church and a school. She spent much of the time running from pursuers, shouting directions to herself, and reloading her camera’s battery in the dark. Partway through she said she had forgotten to play the music she had prepared, and chat pointed out that she had gone almost an hour without it.
Viewers followed the chase with cheers and nervous jokes, and several said the game was nothing but running. When the ending came, chat told her she had finished, and some asked what ghost game would come next.
Zia closed by thanking everyone for the turnout and announcing a talk stream at 8 p.m. the same evening, expected to run a little over an hour, with no guests invited.
