Every other Outlast experience has been a single-player experience. The biggest difference between The Outlast Trials and the games that precede it is in its co-op-friendly setup. The Outlast Trials, as best I can tell after a weekend with the beta, will never scare me to that same extent, but that might be fine. Reviewing that game back in 2017, it was a rare occasion where I struggled to hit the embargo time simply because I had to will myself to deal with its horrors. Though the mechanics and level design were familiar after having played the first one and its Whistleblower DLC, I found the setting and characters of its doomsday cult to be much more terrifying than the wandering denizens of Murkoff's nefarious asylum in the first game.

When I think about the scariest games I've ever played, the one that tends to jump out at me first and foremost is Outlast 2.
