With The Outlast Trials, a new survival game is coming to Steam in May 2023 that wants to break you with its horror. Here’s a quick look at the new title coming to Early Access.
What kind of game is this? Outlast is a nasty horror series that shook many gamers to the core with its first two titles. You live an adventure like in a nightmare, you have to save yourself from horrible characters and find a way to survive.
Outlast relies on all the rules of horror art – darkness, fear, splatter, terror. You are right in the middle, only your decisions stand between escape and certain death.
With The Outlast Trials, the series dares to make the leap to a multiplayer title. From May 18, 2023 you can get the creeps together in Early Access and here you can find out how it’s supposed to work.
For a glimpse of the oppressive mood of The Outlast Trials, watch the trailer below:

How does that go? The Outlast Trials puts you in a creepy escape room with up to 4 players. You choose one of the therapies and let yourself be “treated”.
The settings of the rooms are very different – the 1950s serve as a basis, but the rooms are full of “fake film sets” and thus vary optically.
You have to puzzle your way through the spooky rooms. Invincible figures are constantly following you and want to stop you from escaping. You have to hide, distract the opponents, flee at the right moment and solve all the puzzles. This runs in co-op, but should also be feasible for solo players.

German YouTuber Gnu also watched The Outlast Trials in closed beta a few months ago. If you are looking for a video with German comments, check out Gnus Video (via youtube.com).
The Outlast Trials will be available in Early Access on Steam starting May 18th. There is no information about the price yet. The title wants to convert the horror of the predecessors into a co-op concept, relying on disruption and terror. A strong mix for some players.
