The first two issues [[OriginsEpisode provide an origin]] for Chris Walker and Dr. Trager from ''Outlast'', where the Pauls confront and apprehend them for messing with Murkoff. The third issue explains the whereabouts of our former protagonists, Miles Upshur and Waylon Park, as the Pauls attempt to trail them but to no avail, as Miles is a walking corpse and Waylon and his family long took off to hide from Murkoff's wrath. They also get in a scuffle with the remains of Billy Hope, with traces of the Walrider still keeping him a vengeful PhysicalGod. The forth issue reveals that, in their investigation, they caught the attention of Simon Peacock, a former Murkoff agent and the one who helped Waylon in the leak from ''Whistleblower''. The fifth issue sets up ''Outlast II'', and the final issue, an epilogue, clears up its ending.

Added DiffLines:

* AdaptationalVillainy: In ''Outlast,'' we learn that Billy's mother had a lawsuit against Murkoff and the asylum, presumably because they've left her unable to see or retrieve her son, and Murkoff kills her with a guided heart attack in order to keep using Billy as a test subject (though the timelines of the documents contradict themselves). The comics retcon this and state that Billy was never mentally ill, his mother turned him over for a large sum of money, and she is alive after Murkoff bought her silence.
