The Outlast Trials is a 2024 first-person psychological survival horror video game developed and published by Red Barrels.

[3] In 1959, at the height of the Cold War, the Murkoff Corporation begins a deceptive recruitment program and summons volunteers who are then kidnapped and transported to the Sinyala Facility in Arizona.

Referred to as "Reagents", the subjects are forced to undergo an "Initiation Trial" where they are involuntarily proceeded surgically to have night-vision goggles screwed on their head and meet the facility's director, Hendrick Joliet Easterman.

As Easterman directs them to destroy their own public and private records, the Reagents complete the trial by avoiding psychotic failed test subjects, known as the "Experimental Population", also referred to as "Ex-Pops".

They also meet engineer Cornelious Noakes, nurse Emily Barlow, and various Sleep Room denizens while assisted by a fellow Reagent named Dorris Ritter, who no longer partakes in the trials and instead provides contraband goods to other subjects.

Notable Prime Assets include disgraced children's television series' host Phyllis "Mother Gooseberry" Futterman, sadistic ex-police sergeant Leland Coyle, and depraved drug-dealing gangster Franco "Il Bambino" Barbi.

After they open a final door to escape, Reagents fall into a dark infinite space where they walk on water as they approach a glaring light in the distance.

Red Barrels co-founder David Chateauneuf said "the proof-of-concept is now complete and the game's team is now in development mode".
