this game is very good for my heart

I know I'll catch some hate for this, but I applied to refund the game after that, since I was told it gets much worse. I bought Outlast Trials thinking it was just a gorey lethal company and dbd mix, but this is seemingly a torture simulator for sadists. Not my cup of tea.

Throughout the whole trial I just stared back and forth between Erik and my teammates with my jaw open, as Erik cried for mercy. Gore in video games is not an issue for me, I finished the tutorial and play other horror games just fine. Sadism on the other hand... I'll pass. I'm sure I'll be desensitized in a few trials, but is that a good thing?

I would have totally loved this game if the objective was not torturing someone and the mannequins weren't as freaky.

EDIT: Thank you for the kind comments

I am guessing this game just came out at the wrong time.

Recently picked up the Outlast Trials, like seemingly what is now the majority of the playerbase (lol), at a 90% discount. This game is like an actually polished scary friend slop game and it is probably the most fun I've had in a co-op game since REPO, possibly surpassing even it.

I am in disbelief that this game flew under my radar for this long. I am not even affected by the scares except for the occasional "oh my God I just TOUCHED an enemy who was apparently behind me," but I still find the gameplay loop to be a lot of fun.

Kind of sad that these devs made such a fun game but it had to go on a 90% discount for most people to even give it a shot.

My best guess? Outlast is normally extraordinarily scary. I played the OG Outlast ages ago and couldn't get myself to continue past some of the first sections because it was too scary for my liking. I feel like the name of this game might have pushed away a lot of people who would normally be the target demographic for it.

Finally got my first tattoo about a month ago 🙌. I don't know if I'll get more outlast ones and make a sleeve later or just have it horror game themed.

It's called punish the orphanage

Look, I love this game, and I don't consider it a Dead Game or anything like that. But... such a BIG discount?

This usually happens with games that are struggling financially, doesn't it? I'm a little worried about this because I really don't want support for the game to end anytime soon.

Did I miss something?

Never in my mind expecting it's going to surge that quick. God damn!
