Steam has a new horror shocker with multiplayer, which is well received a week after its release. The Outlast Trails is still in Early Access, but the first reactions give hope.

What kind of game is this? The Outlast Trails is a prequel to the Outlast series, known for its psychological horror. The games play with your fears and gloomy expectations. Until a nasty butcher actually strikes.

Outlast has a good standing among fans of the genre. They wanted to try it out as a co-op experience.

The Outlast Trails is a kind of escape room simulator. With 4 players you have to puzzle your way through the crazy rooms, constantly under stress, peppered with paranoia and ghastly characters who want to get at you. MeinMMO shows you the first reactions.

The Outlast Trails does what AAA rarely do right now

How is the game doing? The Outlast Trails has been available in Early Access since May 18th and has since garnered over 12,500 reviews. The reviews are “Very Positive” with 94% giving the game a thumbs up.

If you’re into such horror adventures, then there’s obviously a new hit in the works. And that despite the high price of 28.99 euros for an EA title (via Steam).

Many praise the excellent performance and the few errors in the game. That’s currently not so self-evident, even the biggest games allow themselves a lot of bugs and performance stress.

We have selected a few suitable reviews for the game:

  • User Marble: “Fabulous way to start therapy. Died twice near the end […]. We saw a penis and a crazy man. 10/10, it damaged me psychologically […].”

    • In the ratings you read again and again how brutal the scenes are and that you keep coming across sexualized allusions. A hard-hitting adult game with no mercy.

  • User riorizzor: “Clean performance, funny gimmicks for the in-game voice chat and great fun in co-op. As early access for €28.99 absolute purchase recommendation! There are still good game developers in this world.”
  • User PascalJogurt: “Basically an evil Takeshis Castle.”

    • However, a few players also have something to complain about. The content is currently manageable, which means that the gameplay loot becomes monotonous over time. The comment is from a player with 15 hours of gameplay. However, players with up to 60 hours can also be found.

    The Outlast Trails is a game for horror lovers who also have crazy friends. Definitely keep an eye on the title if you’re into something like this.
