Outside of the exciting and terrifying story beats and giving returning players time to appreciate The Outlast Trial’s gorgeous visuals, the tutorial teaches the basics of playing the game. This includes introducing players to the sinister Mother Gooseberry, a deranged puppeteer and warden-type character who acts as the tutorial’s primary enemy that chases players throughout the game’s opening section à la Chris Walker or one of Outlast’s many other big bads.
They are forced to partake in an increasingly sinister gauntlet of objectives with the vague promise of rehabilitation and escape.īefore getting access to the said gauntlets or trials, The Outlast Trials opens with a rather lengthy tutorial section but one that feels organic in that it successfully introduces the player to its world and setting. Taking place inside a secret Murkoff labyrinthian prison, which acts as the central player hub and lobby, players occupy the space as one of the many unwilling guinea pigs. With the release of The Outlast Trials, I was eager to get strapped in and check out Red Barrels’ take on a multiplayer-focused Outlast.
Despite not being the biggest fan of Outlast 2, the original Outlast and its Whistleblower DLC were some of my favourite survival horror experiences from the last decade.
