The parts convey something sinister and familiar, but they’re soon splattered with too many strokes of false red and the whole picture becomes little more than another fairground funhouse.'īut hey, you can see for yourself now that it's free. It no longer has a real world analogue, although the impressive fidelity of the graphics occasionally convinces otherwise by showing us objects and textures that we recognise, right down to the scuff marks and imperfections.

The asylum as portrayed in Outlast is plucked directly from the horror genre. 'When a place is so far removed from its real purpose, it loses meaning. To be contrary, I think I side with Adam when he said its kooky wakka wakka spooky spoo asylum is just too familiar: Our Outlast review from Ben Barrett was glowing, who said it 'is not an experiment in how games can be scary, it's an exemplification.' This freebie is to celebrate the end of Humble's summer sale, which I understand has a great many games going cheap.

As our co-founder David puts it: “Now we’ve done our proof of concept, it is time focus on content creation, variety… and gore.One of the better 'peer through a camcorder viewfinder while hiding from spooky monsters' horror games which shambled out of the early tensies, Outlast is free for keepsies if you grab it in the next two days. The Outlast Trials is still in the early stages of production and we are now ramping up the production process.

“Our team is hard at work creating a new experience that will bring fear and anxiety to millions of players, whether they go through the experiments alone or with friends.” “We are proud to reveal the title and the first image of the game to our great community and fans,” said David Chateauneuf, Red Barrels co-founder. After all, it’s always better to shit your pants with some friends. Whilst not a direct sequel to the other Outlast titles in the series, this new game will be set in the same thrilling universe: more precisely, right in the middle of the Cold War era. The Outlast Trials will allow you to face the horrors of the trials by yourself or cooperate with up to 3 other test subjects. The Red Barrels team is excited to announce our latest project in the Outlast universe.
