What that freedom actually entails, however (and whether it’s freedom whatsoever) remains unknown.Īs one of Murkoff’s pawns, completely at the whim of its doctors, The Outlast Trials feels closer to the original game than the sequel, which was a relief to me. You – assumedly abducted by Murkoff to involuntarily participate in this array of experiments – become the company’s guinea pig, forced to take on the cruelest of ordeals in a bid for freedom. | Image credit: The Outlast Trials | Red Barrels
Night vision cameras remain, and you best hope your battery doesn't run out. As you awake inside a secret Murkoff facility, fellow inmates cowering around you, with doctors watching you peer through the glass, it’s immediately clear that whatever is happening here isn’t, morally, okay. Maybe I’m biased as a hound for psychology, but The Outlast Trials primarily touches on the concept of MKUltra and sleeper agents two things that will fascinate any conspiracy-theory folk for a lifetime. With inspiration from movies such as Saw 2, Cube, and 31 – alongside The Stanford Prison Experiment, The Manchurian Candidate, and more – The Outlast Trials is equal parts gore and psychological horror not only is it, so far, a horrifying experience that will chill you to the bone, but it is a genuinely fascinating narrative to slowly pick apart, too. Check out the Closed Beta trailer for The Outlast Trials here. What does psychosis do to your character? Well, I think it’s best that you wait and see – but just know that you won’t be able to believe your eyes. Batteries and weapons are scarce, and the risk of being intoxicated with psychosis is high. The Outlast Trials is, still, undeniably Outlast your night vision camera is your best friend, hiding is often better than retaliating, and ultimately, the whole thing is deeply unsettling.
After we’ve stepped into the shoes of an investigative journalist uncovering Murkoff’s plans at Mount Massive Asylum, and discovered corruption in the Arizonian desert as a cameraman, we’re one of Murkoff’s very own sleeper agents in The Outlast Trials. It’s been six years since we last fell victim to the perilous whims of the Murkoff Corporation and, in The Outlast Trials, its inhumane experiments have only become more extreme.
