I must admit, I had some initial concerns when starting The Outlast Trials. The game immediately throws you into an overwhelming and intense experience. After countless attempts to find reliable teammates in other games, I finally decided to give it a try with the one person who stuck around during my search. We were in the Final Exam for Project X, the ultimate level, and despite my lack of preparation, I had an incredible time until I eventually met my demise and failed the trial. (This was my first trial I experienced)

Hoping to find some guidance or make new friends, I checked the Discord server, but unfortunately, I couldn't find any assistance from fellow newbies. Most players were already immersed in Project X and offered their support, but I wanted to experience the game organically, starting from the beginning and unlocking Project X once I had gained some upgrades and abilities. Through persistent use of voice chat and reaching out to as many people as possible, I managed to form a duo with someone who preferred using text chat as their means of communication. Later on, we found another player through the group finder, and within just two more games, we formed a solid team of four.

Working together with new friends in this terrifying world was an absolute blast! As we communicated and familiarized ourselves with the maps, we progressed from Program 1 to Program X in just two days. The feeling of progression in this game is exhilarating and genuinely enjoyable. Unlocking a random outfit upon completing all of Project X adds a fun and unique element, as we all eagerly anticipated what the next person would get. This motivated us to not only finish our first release but also to be ready for the next one later that same evening.

I've been searching for a game that emphasizes teamwork rather than relying solely on individual performance, and The Outlast Trials delivers exactly that. I now have a dedicated team that we regularly meet up with to play, and it's an amazing feeling. I'm eagerly looking forward to future updates and hoping for additional challenges or weekly variations in the maps. I'm excited and optimistic that this game will evolve into something the horror genre community can truly embrace and demand from their games.

Whether you have friends to play with or not, The Outlast Trials is a must-play. When you start, I highly recommend investing in either Hide or Heal abilities and not bothering with x-ray. You'll be able to locate items and hear enemies just fine as long as your volume is turned up. Stay alert, be prepared, and most importantly, stay silent—Mother Goose is always listening.
