The Outlast Trials is a spin-off of the horror series of the same name that was developed with co-op in mind. The main events of the game will unfold in the already familiar universe during the Cold War. The world is changing rapidly, and new research is far from improving the quality of life of the population. Scientists from the powerful Murkoff Corporation have begun testing techniques for the so-called «brainwashing». The purpose of these experiments is to acquire control over the minds of volunteers who are not yet aware of anything. Ultimately, such technologies should capture the minds of all people, subordinating them to a single will. Information about these experiments was leaked to the public, people panicked. You have to survive in the created conditions, constantly faced with mistrust and fear.

After the success of the horror game Outlast, studio Red Barrels announced the second part of the game and promised players a new frightening story. Outlast 2 is also a psychological horror game from the first person. You will play for Blake Langermann, a journalist who, along with his wife, also a journalist, is ready to take any risks for the sake of another investigation. This time the case of the murder of a pregnant woman Jane Doe will lead the player into the desert of Arizona. Actions will quickly twist and immerse the player into a light madness, to escape from which it will be extremely difficult.
