The one moment etched into my brain revolves around a rather stocky dinner lady/maid-type character with a puppet on her hand (with a drill for a tongue) who cuts out a patients eye then drops him into a meat grinder right in front of you.
You’re introduced to the Murkhoff Corporation, the same one that reopened the asylum in the original Outlast, except this time we’re in the era of the Cold War. Right from the tutorial, you’re thrown in at the deep end. While The Outlast Trials is just as scary, I’d love to have been a fly on the wall in the writing room because these developers have factored in some of the most disturbing and creepy creations I’ve ever witnessed in the video game medium. Whether it’s creeping around an asylum or running away from a cult of utter psychopaths, the fear factor seen in the Outlast series has always been the most oppressive and terrifying within the horror genre.
One thing Red Barrels has always managed to do is the scare the living shit out of me.
