It's the developers’ first step into a live service game. The Outlast Trials marks a new beginning for Red Barrels and its impressive IP in ways other than its fantastic multiplayer. While you can go back and help your fellow players, many may choose not to for the sake of self-preservation. In the chaos of the experiments, you are constantly separated from your team by aggressive test subjects and environmental traps. It is this fear that players will experience in the trials when the security of a team is suddenly taken from you at unexpected moments. This sudden isolation makes the horror of facing the cult alone unbearable. In Outlast 2, you start the campaign with your partner, who is quickly taken from you by a malicious cult. In this way, it’s not all that dissimilar from the original titles. Even in a team, players will regularly find themselves cut off from the group, isolated in an unknown location. Despite having a coop option, this survival horror game straddles the line between true terror and the joys of playing multiplayer brilliantly.

However, The Outlast Trials takes the terror from the first few titles and modernizes it in a multiplayer environment.
