SYNOPSIS


Set in the era of the Cold War, human guinea pigs are involuntarily recruited by the good folks at the Murkoff Corporation to test advanced methods of brainwashing and mind control. In a world of distrust, fear, and violence, your morals will be challenged, your endurance tested, and your sanity crushed. All in the name of progress, science, and profit.

SURVIVE: SOLO OR COOP


You’re all prisoners of Murkoff trapped inside their facility. You can choose to complete the trials by yourself or you can tackle them in a team of 2, 3, or 4 players.
Coop is never forced when it comes to mandatory objectives but working together can be highly beneficial.
Whatever the number of players in your party, it’s about surviving and getting out.

Ultimately, your goal is to complete Murkoff's therapy and earn the right to be released back into society. In order to do so, you must complete the Trials and the MK-Challenges.
Trials are immersive story driven therapies that take a certain time to complete. Mk-Challenges are shorter therapies occurring in modified or redesigned section of an existing map.

HIDE OR FLIGHT


In pure Outlast fashion, the core gameplay involves avoiding enemies, hiding from them, and trying to run away. Murkoff will provide tools you can use to increase your stealth capabilities, create opportunities to flee, slow down enemies, and more. However, you will have to earn those tools and work hard to improve them.
The tools will allow you to
  • Stun enemies
  • Blind them
  • See through walls
  • Heal yourself and people around you.
Murkoff will ask you to perform disturbing tasks in each trials or mk-challenges. Only after completing those, will you be allowed to exit the Trials or the MK-Challenges.

CHARACTER CUSTOMIZATION


Customize and create your own trial patient.
Your cell is your home while you complete the therapy, you can decorate it however you wish.
Choose your tools, upgrades, and perks to fit your playstyle.
Meet the Denizens of Murkoff’s Sinyala Facility in The Outlast Trials. Each one of them will try and help you get through the Trials in one piece! Think you’ll make it?


INVESTIGATE


You’ve been abducted by the Murkoff Corporation to undergo unethical experiments that will modify your psyche and behavior throughout the Trials.
Collect documents and items that will help prove Murkoff’s malpractice against its patients.
The Process:
  • Break the Self: Murkoff aims to break down the test subject’s fundamental beliefs. Aspects of self-identity are systematically attacked. Like boot camp or indoctrination, the goal is to force a person to purge themselves of anything held sacred or taboo, the things that limit their behavior. The constant assault on identity, guilt and self-betrayal eventually leads to them breaking down.
  • Build the Self: It’s a bad cop, good cop principle. The rejection of the old ideology leaves a vacuum into which the new ideology can be introduced. As the antithesis of the old ideology, it forms a perfect attraction point as the person flees the old in search of a contrasting replacement. This progress is accelerated as the new ideology is portrayed as harmonious and ideally suited to the person's needs. Collegiality and calm replaces pain and punishment. Just at the point when the person is fearing annihilation of the self, they are offered a small kindness, a brief respite from the assault on their identity.
  • Salvation: Faced with the stark contrast of the pain of the past with the rosy glow of the future that the new ideology presents, the person sheds any the final allegiance to the old ideology, confessing any remaining deep secrets, and takes on the full mantle of the new ideology. This often feels, and has been described by many, as a form of rebirth. It may be accompanied by rites of passage as the person is accepted and cemented into the new order. The rituals will typically include strong statements made by the person about accepting the new ideology fully and completely, swearing allegiance to its leaders. Saluting flags, kissing other artefacts and other symbolic acts, all solemnly performed, all anchor them firmly in the new ground.


Content and Photosensitivity Warning:

The Outlast Trials contain strobing and flashing lights that could cause a small percentage of people to experience seizures when exposed to certain lights, patterns, or images.
This game also contains intense violence, gore, graphic sexual content, and strong language. Please enjoy.

its really challenging, the AI is a little too campy but still fun with friends. worth the price tag. has great graphics and good sound. its pretty dang scary too. grab a few buddies and have a blast!
  • fun and unique co op experience
  • good graphics
  • good sound
  • campy AI
  • lack of character customization (appearence)
  • lots of penis's
This is one of the best Multiplayer horror games I ever Played !

I recommend it to everybody 10/10
  • Good Horror
  • Nice and Gorey
  • Terrefying
  • Sometimes it takes some time to find Lobbys
Franklin from GTA V recommends this game.

Outlast Trials is a great co-op horror survival game consisting of completing objectives in a prey environment doing your best to become reborn as a better you.

Take part in Trials seeking generators, keys, targets or payloads to deliver while avoiding the average Minnesota police officer, tooth decay and tentacle man, all of which are doing their best to rip you open and continue their art project on the wall.
  • Extremely well-designed gameplay loop
  • Decent seeking AI, excellent chase AI
  • Well balanced progression system
  • The new MK challenges introduced in the latest update are confusing and the only levels which are not completable solo
  • Playing solo is impossible until you have progressed enough to be self-reliant
  • Harsh balancing team, mostly consisting of nerfs to good items rather than buffs to bad items.
