The atmosphere in The Outlast Trials is quite thick too, owing in large part to the fact that you’re going to be spending quite a bit of time in darkness. You can also find more advanced tools, like a smoke mine, that lets you scurry away if an enemy ever gets close enough to where you might have planted it. Throw an empty bottle to distract an enemy while you quickly jump into a nearby locker to hide, for example. Since you can’t really fight back against the horrors you’re in the room with, you instead have to rely on stealth and whatever item you can find. The other side of the horror in The Outlast Trials comes from its mechanics. " The Outlast Trial is hoping that it’ll continue to scare you well into the game by suddenly showing you a horrifyingly-disfigured face." How well this works can be up for debate players tend to have different levels of tolerance for this sort of thing after all, and while some of us might find jump scares rather dull after the first couple of times, others might still find it incredibly compelling horror. Rather, The Outlast Trial is hoping that it’ll continue to scare you well into the game by suddenly showing you a horrifyingly-disfigured face. You’re not going to get some deep-rooted psychological trauma like the Silent Hill franchise from this game. Most of the more interesting level design and mechanics largely come from the game’s co-op, and when played in single player, The Outlast Trials feels like little more than a retread of the games we already played back in Outlast and Outlast 2.ĭespite its focus on co-op, however, The Outlast Trials still largely relies on its jump scares and creepy atmosphere to scare you. Let’s get this out of the way, while it can be played completely solo, The Outlast Trials definitely treats co-op as the main method of playing. How well the game pulls off having up to three friends with you while you skulk around dark, dinghy hallways with no way to fight back against the monstrosities you’re pitted against is quite an interesting subject. With the third game, however, developer Red Barrels decided to try something that most horror games can’t really pull off effectively-co-op. The Outlast franchise has enjoyed quite a bit of success with its two single-player outings in the form of Outlast and Outlast 2.
