Trial objectives include smashing up sex toys and feeding people blood, and there’s a lot of backstory to glean from found documents and conversations with side characters. Unlockable tools and gear include slippers, which soften your footsteps when avoiding unkillable opponents, and X-ray goggles, with which to spy people through walls. Maps range from sickly funfairs through abandoned police stations to terrible toy factories.
The1.0 releaseintroduces a new ending, full controller support and crossplay with the just-launched console versions (though not cross-progression), while making “adjustments in difficulty, Trial structure, and progression to provide a streamlined onboarding for all new and returning players - including those playing solo or as a group.” According toVG247, The Outlast Trials stacks up pretty well as a single-player game.
Certainly, the idea of a live service roadmap that’s also a mental health program is a fine basis for a horror game. Alternatively, you might want to check outVampire Therapist, a visual novel in which ancient undead discuss their experiences with therapists.
