What is The Outlast Trials?

A first-person survival horror game set in a Cold War-era Murkoff facility, where abducted test subjects undergo brainwashing experiments. Alone or in teams of up to four, players complete objective-based Trials and shorter MK-Challenges while hiding from enemies, fleeing, and using tools to stun, blind, scout, or heal.

For you if...

  • +you enjoy stealth missions centered on hiding and escape
  • +you like choosing tools, upgrades, and perks for objectives
  • +you want psychological horror mixed with dark humor

Not for you if...

  • −you prefer direct combat over hiding and fleeing
  • −you avoid graphic violence and disturbing human experiments
  • −you want competitive matches rather than cooperative PvE
