how should I proceed to install Outlast 2 (from GOG) with these files ?

Hi, I'm totally new to Crossover so I'd like to avoid making big mistakes !
I downloaded installer files from GOG and I get 6 .bin files and 2 .exe files, the setup_outlast2 and a patch_outlast2.
I watched the tutorial on installed unregistered games, no problem here, but it's the .bin files and the 2 .exe files which gives me a problem : what to do with the 6 .bin files ? And when and how I use the patch_outlast2.exe file ?
Like I said I'm completely new to Crossover so I'd really need your help ! Thanks !

I have never installed or played that game but here is what I think you ought to do based on similar installs from GOG that I have done in the past:
1- Leave all those files in your ~/Downloads folder or wherever else you have put them. Don't move them into a Crossover bottle or any other special location. Those files are just for installing and patching, they will not be used to run the game once it is fully installed and patched. Note that you don't need the patch_outlast_2gog-3(11770)_togog-4(19597).exe because you have the setup_outlast_2gog-4(19597).exe installer; don't bother deleting it, just be aware you don't need to do anything with it, either.
2- Use Crossover to create a new Windows 10 64-bit bottle. Give the bottle a useful name like "Outlast 2".
3- Use Crossover to install "DirectX for Modern Games" into the bottle you created in Step 2. To do this, just click on the INSTALL button at the bottom-left of your Crossover window then type "DirectX for Modern Games" into the search field, then follow the prompts to be sure it gets installed into the bottle you created in Step 2.
4- Use Crossover to install setup_outlast_2gog-4(19597).exe. To do this, click the INSTALL button at the bottom-left of your Crossover window then click on INSTALL AN UNLISTED APPLICAITON near the top-right of the Crossover window. Click the first EDIT button to choose the setup_outlast_2gog-4(19597).exe installer. Click the second EDIT button to choose the bottle you created in Step 2. Then follow the other prompts as needed.
5- Once the installation is complete and you've tested that the game works, you can delete all those installer/patcher files you downloaded from GOG. You can download them again if you need them in the future.
