Demo and other releases
Red Barrels Studio apart from releasing the trailer also launched a demo. This official demo is for fans to experience first-hand what the survival-horror game would be like.
Aside from the demo, there were several recordings released as promotional material for the upcoming game. Also, another gameplay video that runs for a span of 10 minutes was released. It mainly highlights the mechanics, settings, and even the exploration elements of "Outlast 2."
Gameplay
Red Barrels Studio's upcoming fight game is a different offering from its predecessor.
The setting now takes place on a farm rather than in the previous dark and creepy mental asylum. In this game, as the main character, you will try to escape and find your missing wife. The game also inhibits the player to see clearly in the dark, with the video camera giving only a limited view.
Horror genre
Currently, in the survival-horror genre, Capcom's "Resident Evil 7" is the leading game. "Friday the 13th The Game" will also release anytime soon. There were only a handful of terrifying games that are in the market. It is one excellent opportunity for the upcoming game to get a chance to challenge these games in this particular genre. As one of the highly anticipated release, fans look forward that “Outlast 2” will deliver beyond their expectations not only in the fright aspect but also in overall gameplay experience.
