I get that shock and gratuitous violence is sorta the whole point, but it often feels like they’re trying so hard to be gross and extreme or make some kind of unsubtle statement that I just shook my head at the tactless, edgelordian overkill. One level features a maniacal police officer who enjoys tasering his own genitals and rattles off nonsense like “I don’t recognize this country anymore,” while in another you’re repeatedly shown a bunch of penises for seemingly no reason at all, and then forced to recreate a crucifixion for an audience of school children. At the moment the beta seems to be PC only, via Steam but the developer also hinted that this may change.That said, even when treated with the unseriousness and gore-filled levity that I think The Outlast Trials is going for, the over-the-top violence, deeply unsexy lechery, and extremely on-the-nose subject matter can be a bit much sometimes. The beta will take place between October 28 and November 1. Nothing seems to have been too barbaric to include, so we're ready for anything. Disgusting characters who appear out of nowhere and slaughter you on the spot. Heart-pounding screams and panicked flights. On the one hand there was the usual poor lighting in the madhouse where inhumane experiments were carried out by the Murkoff Corporation during the Cold War, but it was also dark to the core.
We of course got an accompanying trailer as well, which unsurprisingly was dark in both senses of the word. But last night we finally got an update and it turns out that they are on track and the next step will be a closed beta in the month of October.
It was almost to the day a year ago when Red Barrels announced that The Outlast: Trials would be delayed until 2022, and since then we haven't heard anything from the developer.
