Red Barrels announced that the demo for its upcoming horror game, Outlast 2, will be available on Steam later today. According to the team, the demo will be available until Tuesday, November 1st, so we strongly suggest downloading it while you still can.
The Outlast 2 demo provides a sneak peek at what Red Barrels have been working on for the last few years.
More features and environments will be unveiled in the coming months, so stay tuned for more.
In Outlast 2, players take the role of Blake Langermann, a cameraman working with his wife, Lynn. The two of them are investigative journalists willing to take risks and dig deep to uncover the stories no one else will dare touch.
Players are following a trail of clues that started with the seemingly impossible murder of a pregnant woman known only as Jane Doe, and the investigation has lead the journalists miles into the Arizona desert.
Outlast 2 is currently planned for a 2017 release.
Have fun!
UPDATE:
The demo is now available for download!

I don’t know why more devs release a demo. It was after playing the demo that I wanted to buy SEUM: Speedrunners From Hell.
It’s kinda bad for business, because it’s unbalanced.
The majority of the outcomes favours more the consumer rather than the devs.
So isn’t it weird that the creators of Outlast or DOOM made demos of their games? What was that? A glimmer of humanity? 🙂
It is rather weird yes, and that shows (and now this is my opinion not parroting others lol), better confidence in the product, better budget/time management, better relationship with their audience and things among these lines.
Mind you, I still think of them as exceptions.
I especially loved demos that had unique levels, not seen in full versions.
But they are probably a bad business move and they need additional work, so they are rare nowadays. I’m wondering though, if they are so bad, why did the creators of Outlast and DOOM make one?
I will take a demo over this crappy early aces with tons of bugs
not available outside the us?
Fine here, maybe restart Steam and see if it appears for you. 🙂
Sounds interesting, maybe good idea is try this demo. Someone play on it?
