Father Loutermilch is a major antagonist in the 2017 survival horror video game Outlast 2. He was a teacher at the school attended by Blake, Lynn and Jessica. It is implied he raped and killed Jessica Gray by pushing her down the stairs, then staged her hanging as a suicide.
He was voiced by Karl Graboshas, who also voices the Night Hunters, which are a type of Experimental Population in The Outlast Trials.
Biography[]
Father Loutermilch can be seen variously throughout Blake's hallucinations laughing, singing, speaking and taunting him. After some time passes, Blake starts to see Loutermilch as a demonic creature.
When Blake approaches a well in the village, Loutermilch uses his demonic tongue to pull him in. After Blake winds up Jessica's music box and finds her corpse being hanged, Loutermilch appears and drags Jessica through the ceiling. In another hallucination, Blake roams a long, dark hallway, when all of the lockers start to open and close violently, as Loutermilch is heard across the hallway. When Blake approaches the exit door, he appears and throws him to the end of the hallway. Blake then unknowingly appears inside a locker. Father Loutermilch in a brief moment stands in front of the locker, then walks away.
Later on, Loutermilch can be heard singing a song along with Jessica. When Blake returns, a phone can be heard ringing inside one of the offices. As Blake approaches, the demon walks out and runs for Blake. Blake tries to hide, and the demon disappears. Returning back, Blake picks up the phone and a voice can be heard saying that he will get help if he finds a place to hide. He then says a lustful comment until insulting Blake as a tongue appears on the phone, taking Blake by the neck. Blake then throws the phone down, and the tongue disappears. When Blake exits the office, all doors close violently and the demon appears again, chasing after Blake.
In a next hallucination, Blake walks under the school, in a hallway system where all the pipes and cables are located. He finds his way through a corridor, when Loutermilch appears and chases him. As Blake is rowing down a lake, the tongue reaches out of the water and pulls Blake back into the hallucination. He has another vision of Loutermilch chasing him, this time he is in the school's swimming pool. He finds his way up the stairs, where another he chases him again.
Now finding himself in the school library, Blake makes his way through the confusing maze of shelves, when the demon appears at the end. When Blake hears Jessica screaming, he turns around and runs for her, with the demon right behind him. After Blake falls down into a pile of bodies, he lies on top of Jessica on the stairs. She is visibly beaten, and her neck is broken. We can see the demon on the top of the stairs looking down at Blake. Blake runs around the school, Loutermilch taunting him.
As Blake and Jessica are making their way from their hiding place in the kitchen, Loutermilch steps out of one of the classrooms. He questions Blake and Jessica about being in the school at this time, when he tells them to step back into class. He threatens Blake and Jessica by calling their parents. He orders Blake to leave, but as he heads out, hears Jessica screaming for help. He runs back to the classroom, where he can see Jessica running away from Loutermilch telling him to get away. Blake then finds her brutalized corpse on the stairs. Loutermilch presumably forced Blake to go along with the cover-up.
The status and whereabouts of Loutermilch after these horrific events are unknown.
Personality[]
On the surface, Loutermilch was a calm, soft-spoken and professional priest that appeared to take both his occupation and the discipline of students very seriously. Being a priest, he often places God and the workings of morality and shame into his dialogue. Even in this seemingly fatherly presentation, a manipulative side exists. He also uses religious subjects in his attempts at manipulation, which is heard when speaking to Blake, and threatening Jessica.
Discovering notes throughout the game reveal how Loutermilch uses his position to be alone with Jessica, as well as twisting stories about her to make her look more problematic than she really was. When Blake uses his camcorder to make recordings during the school flashbacks, playing the audio in reverse further reveals the darker parts of his personality. This also includes how satisfied he is with God and the talents he has, as well as his coping mechanisms.
These twisted recordings reveal his interest in the sexuality of children, and his desires to explore that, despite how highly inappropriate it is. This focus is placed heavily on Jessica Gray, especially when Loutermilch becomes attracted to specific qualities Jessica had. These thoughts eventually grew into something else, making Loutermilch a pedophile who became obsessed with Jessica after he thought "she was so ripe with possibility", and continuously makes lustful comments throughout Blake's hallucinations possibly implying this is what Blake sees Loutermilch as due to his actions.
In the flashback where Loutermilch finally kills Jessica, the priest was able to use his authority to first scare Blake away, despite Blake knowing that something was wrong, and with Jessica begging Blake to stay, Blake hesitantly left the two. When Jessica's screams are heard, Loutermilch gives chase at a grim, dogged pace. Even after Jessica's death, leaving Blake scarred for life, Loutermilch was possibly still able to convince Blake to not reveal the priest's crimes.
The demon version of Loutermilch is all of his worst, disgusting traits and hardly anything more. Murderous and silent, he mindlessly pursues Blake and will kill him at any chance he gets, stopping at nothing. The demon has many hands, some of them making inappropriate gestures, perfectly matching the priest's perverted nature.
