The Outlast Trials: A Fresh Take on Co-op Horror

Red Barrels' latest release combines teamwork and terror, offering a unique co-op horror experience set in the Cold War era.

The Outlast Trials introduces cooperative gameplay to the horror series, emphasizing teamwork and strategy for survival.
Set against the backdrop of the Cold War, the game serves as a prequel to the first two Outlast games, featuring sinister experiments reminiscent of the MK Ultra program.
Players must navigate through five trials with their companions, relying on stealth and environmental tactics rather than combat to survive.
The game's design and environments are crafted to evoke a sense of decay and dread, with a limited but disturbing variety of enemies.
Despite its engaging co-op mechanics, the game's short runtime and limited content at launch have been noted as drawbacks.
