Summary: Investigate the inside of Mount Massive Asylum and live to uncover the mystery.

There’s an entire menu dedicated to customizing and piecing together a loadout with several different factors, and I’m excited to see how deep The Outlast Trials takes its strategic interplay. But it does seem like itemization goes far deeper. This was just one of several available rigs to choose from at the start, and the others seemed equally viable. In my own demo of Trials’ first level, I chose the X-Ray rig, which temporarily granted me the ability to see through walls and see in the dark without draining my night-vision battery, and it was so useful in spite of its reasonably long cooldown that a lack of battery pickups posed much less of a challenge. You never get to brandish a weapon against your unhinged assailants, but as previously mentioned you can equip a multitude of different perks and mods to give yourself an edge, not unlike the perk system fans of Dead By Daylight have grown accustomed to. The good news is there are plenty of ways to survive it all – if you’re smart.
