About The Outlast Trials

The Outlast Trials is a horror experience from Red Barrels that carries the series' mind-numbing terror into cooperative play. Set during the Cold War, it recruits human guinea pigs into the Murkoff Corporation's facility to test advanced methods of brainwashing and mind control. In a world steeped in distrust, fear, and violence, your morals are pushed, your endurance tested, and your sanity ground down, all in the name of progress, science, and profit.

You are a prisoner trapped inside Murkoff's walls, free to face the trials alone or with a team of two, three, or four players. Co-op is never mandatory for the core objectives, but working together often pays off. Whatever your group size, the aim stays the same: survive and get out. Reaching freedom means completing Murkoff's therapy through story-driven Trials, which take longer to finish, and shorter MK-Challenges staged in modified sections of existing maps.

In true Outlast fashion, survival hinges on hiding and fleeing rather than fighting, keeping the tension high as you slip through the facility. Whether you brave the therapy solo or lean on friends, the promise dangled in front of you is release back into society, though the game leaves open the unsettling question of whether you will still be the same person when you leave. On PC, it delivers that dread as an indie action horror built for shared scares.
