* An unsettling idea can be the fact that most of the patients you encounter are relatively harmless (or at least can't kill you easily) and the majority appear catatonic, scared, and traumatized after being subjected to the experimentation. While Mount Massive defines itself as being for the ''Criminally'' Insane, it's entirely possible that most of the men we see are not actually deranged psychopaths by nature [[FreudianExcuse but genuinely unwell individuals who have committed crimes because of their different mental illnesses,]] and some may very well have been capable of full rehabilitation and recovery if only they were in a better facility. Most of them are probably just as scared as the player, [[AndIMustScream but are too traumatized and lack the lucidity needed to escape.]]

* The reason Miles and Waylon are called "heavy" by Trager and Gluskin respectively is because they are likely the only well-fed people in the entire asylum.

[[AC:FridgeLogic:]]
* Pointed out in the ''LetsPlay/TwoSaiyansPlay'' Let's Plays, Miles has no gun or taser to protect himself from the patients. He doesn't even have backup. Or a flashlight. Granted, all the e-mail from Waylon said was that there were some twisted and illegal experiments happening at the facility, so he wouldn't have much of a reason to think that he would need to protect himself from bloodthirsty patients at every turn.
* There's a women's ward and reports to be found on female patients, but... where are the women? A document found in Whistleblower reveals that the Walrider began targeting them specifically when it first went rogue, and the vast majority of them were moved to another facility. Another document mentions that Murkoff had to fire all the female staff because exposure to the Morphogenic Engine was causing them to have phantom pregnancies.

* When you find out about Eddie's [[RapeAsBackstory horrible past, wherein he was repeatedly and brutally sexually abused by his father and uncle as a child,]] it makes the scene where you first see him sickening. The orderlies, two large men, are dragging him into the Engine kicking and screaming, they've stripped him down to his underwear, and what is he doing? Desperately pleading for help ''and screaming that they're going to rape him.''

* In ''Whistleblower,'' Trager's corpse is found fairly close by to where Eddie hangs his victims. This means that if, in the original games, Miles had went in another direction after killing Trager, he could have easily ran into Eddie.
* Waylon is forcibly committed at the beginning of ''Whistleblower'' for his... well, whistleblowing. But he wonders how many others in Mount Massive suffered the same fate. According to [[http://outlast.wikia.com/wiki/Persecutorial_Delusions this]] document from the first game, at least one orderly could have been.

* A document you find in the Whistleblower DLC shows that Jeremy Blair and Rick Trager used to play golf together, which means that Miles was right on the money correct when he snarkily described Trager as a douchebag that "probably has a set of golf clubs in the trunk of his Audi."

* In ''Whistleblower'' Trager's corpse is found fairly close by to where Eddie hangs his victims. This means that if Miles went a specific direction after killing Trager in the original game, he could have easily ran into Eddie.

* In the church where Father Martin is about to have himself immolated, he declares it to be your "Penultimate Act of Witness." (Penultimate means "second to the last".) At first you think he's just misusing the term, but in fact he's foreshadowing the fact that he rigged the elevator to take you to the scientific facility where the Morphogenic Engine and Billy Hope are located. Seeing them will be your ''final'' act of witness (if you survive.)
* Mount Massive Asylum is run disturbingly like an asylum from Nazi Germany or the Soviet Union. Which is fitting, seeing as how it's run by a former Nazi.
* A document you find in the Whistleblower DLC shows that Jeremy Blair and Rick Trager used to play golf together, which means that Miles might actually have been correct when he snarkily described Trager as a douchebag that "probably has a set of golf clubs in the trunk of his Audi".

* Pointed out in the ''LetsPlay/TwoSaiyansPlay'' Let's Plays, the reporter has no gun or taser to protect himself from the patients. He doesn't even have backup. Or a flashlight. Granted all the e-mail said was that there were some twisted and illegal experiments happening at the facility, but he was already prepared to break into the building and all he took with him was a video camera and a phone that he even notes in his journal is being jammed.
** Miles wasn't aware of the chaos that had been occurring at the asylum. By the time he realizes he's in danger, it's too late to go back for help.
* And in Whistleblower, where did Eddie obtain and/or cobble together those wedding dresses in such a short time-frame?
** Eddie sets up shop in the vocational block, where there are dozens of sewing machines, mannequins, and probably a ton of extra fabric around. It's plausible that there were already some dresses half-made, or that he's just an incredibly fast tailor; he certainly put together an outfit for himself very soon after the initial alarm began.
* There's a women's ward and reports to be found on female patients, but... where are the women?
** A document found in Whistleblower reveals that the Walrider began targeting them specifically when it first went rogue, and the vast majority of them were moved to another facility.

* In ''Whistleblower'' Trager's corpse is found fairly close by to where Gluskin hangs his victims. This means that if Miles went a specific direction after killing Trager in the original game, he could have easily ran into Gluskin.
* Park is forcibly committed at the beginning of ''Whistleblower'' for his... well, whistleblowing. ''How many others in Mount Massive were committed and abused due to being enemies of Murkoff?''
** According to [[http://outlast.wikia.com/wiki/Persecutorial_Delusions this]] document from the first game, at least one orderly could have been.
* We've already seen what what Gluskin did to his male victims, and it is ''horrific''. That begs the question: what did he do to his ''actual'' female victims?
** There weren't any. As noted above, the females have all been moved to a different facility since before the game's events. Of course, what happens to them there is another story.
** The original poster is probably referring to the women Gluskin killed ''before'' being incarcerated in Mount Massive.
* Gluskin's dialogue at the start of the DLC and Waylon being licked in the face by a doctor after being incarcerated heavily implies that the staff members not only experimented and mistreat the inmates, but also molest them which is not uncommon in certain prisons and asylum.

* We've already seen what what Gluskin did to his male victims, and [[CaptainObvious it is]] ''[[CaptainObvious horrific]]''. That begs the question: what did he do to his ''actual'' female victims?
