Now you understand: escape is foolish, undesirable, impossible. For those truly dedicated to the therapy, we have begun our Relapse Initiative. Begin again. Be Rewarded. Keep growing. Together, we can always get better.





Human labor is the backbone of liberty and profit. We cannot allow the vanity of self-preservation to threaten production. Cross the picket line, persuade labor to resume production, and liquify the union.



Sexually transmitted disease is the secret handshake of evolutionary judgement and divine retribution. Spread the infection, and we will let you out.



Nobody can resist interrogation by torture, and any manner of death is a mercy. Microwave the informant, burst his head, and we will let you out.



The new Deluxe Catalog “Project Relapse” is now available.

• The catalog is filled with 10 pages of new exclusive cosmetic items.
  
• Unlock the Deluxe Catalog using Murkoff Coins, earned by completing the Onboarding Catalog and other Deluxe Catalogs.
  
• Acquire Stamps by completing Trials and Tasks, then use the Stamps to acquire Deluxe Catalog items.
  
• As a reminder, the Deluxe Catalogs are available permanently. Unlock items at your own pace.

The Jaeger initiative introduces a valuable new member to our Experimental Population, an exemplar of resilience, dedication, and obedience. Equipped with the latest in radio broadcasting technology, Murkoff guides the Jaeger remotely with simple instructions—Find and kill the assigned Reagent, wherever they run, wherever they hide. A lethal homing device on two legs, the Jaeger doesn’t stop until her target is brutally murdered. Don’t give up, and Murkoff won’t give up on you.

• A new enemy type can now visit the Trials: The Jaeger
  
• When the Jaeger appears in a Trial, she will target one Reagent and chase it until death.

The Jaeger is currently undergoing vigorous live environment testing. Just as death follows a wasted life, so does the Jaeger follow those it wishes to hold close.

• JAEGER: The Jaeger Ex-Pop is permanently present in Trials. Experience the event by selecting the "Jaeger" Program on the Trial Board.
  
• The new variator has also been added to Escalation Therapy and Trial Maker.

• Part 1: April 22nd to May 6
  
• Part 2: May 6 to May 20

Consider the blood, sweat, and tears that go into creating The Therapy. Experience it for yourself, and experiment with your limits, physical, mental, and emotional, with our new Trial Maker.
With the Trial Maker, players can now:

• Build their own Trial by combining various Trials, MK-Challenges, and custom Variators.
  
• Create and save up to 10 unique trials.
  
• Generate names for your creations by selecting from a list of words.
  
• Easily share your creations with friends using a unique Trial code.
  
• Play Trials made by other players using their code or if they are present in the same Sleep Room.
  
• Unleash your creativity and challenge yourself like never before!

You have proven your dedication to the therapy, but this is only the beginning. The Relapse initiative is a fresh start. Together, we can go deeper.

• Reach the new maximum therapy level (99) to access the Relapse Initiative.
  
• Relapse reverts your therapy to level one in exchange of a permanent upgrade of your choice and rewards.
  
• Reagents will be invited to enter the clinic area located in the Evaluation Corridor after completing a Trial. They must be at maximum therapy level to opt into the Relapse initiative.

Benefits of performing the Relapse initiative:

• THERAPY RESET: Your therapy level will be reset and all upgrades will be relocked.
  
• RELAPSE NUMBER: Your relapse number increases after each relapse.
  
• PERMANENT UNLOCK: Unlock one upgrade of your choice to keep permanently. It won't be locked at future relapses.
  
• KEEP YOUR COSMETICS: All your character and cell cosmetics are kept.
  
• KEEP YOUR STATS: Your stats carry over across relapses.
  
• RELAPSE PLAQUE: A honorific plaque is installed in your cell room with the amount of relapses completed.

• The progression has been adjusted to fit the new maximum therapy level (99).
  
• Amps are now unlocked as a batch of 3 at different milestones throughout the progression.
  
• You are now rewarded with XP based on your grade.
  
• XP for completing Trial and MK-Challenges XP have been adjusted.
  
• Performance XP has been improved and is more rewarding based on your performance during a Trial.

• Players can now save and exit an Escalation Therapy run and return to it later.
  
• Only one save game is possible per player.
  
• Starting a new Escalation Therapy will overwrite the save game.
  
• Players can continue an Escalation Therapy with the same group, and all players will regain their exact loadout.
  
• New players joining a saved game (who haven't played previously) will need to select an upgrade consecutively for each completed Trial in the saved game.

• In response to the recent escape attempts, Murkoff has temporarily suspended the Rebirth program.
  
• To serve as a reminder of the escape incident, Amelia is now displayed in the Sleep Room.
  
• Additionally, the Reborn counter has been concealed.

• Added a new “Nudity Filter” option in the Settings.
  
• Enables visual filter to hide nudity and sexually explicit content that could be considered offensive.
  
• Please note that certain environmental elements, such as artwork or mannequins, may still feature some nudity.

It is now possible to join friends already playing a Trial (Join-in-progress) via the Social Menu.

• As some players might have experienced, the imposters have improved their behavior to cause even more confusion during Trials: They can carry items, bleed, suffer from Psychosis effects, Ping, Perform emotes, Look around, Crouch, etc.
  
• Upon entering the game for the first time after the update, players are presented with a new tutorial screens to explain the Relapse Initiative and Progression changes.
  
• Relapse Number is now displayed in the Records/Stats menu.
  
• You are no longer safe while on the other side of a garage door… enemies can grab you!
  
• All of the cell posters now have a unique name.
  
• Other various bug fixes.

Amelia has succeeded in creating a brief means of ESCAPE! Reagents can now attempt their own getaway from the Sinyala Facility!

Murkoff won’t let go without a fight. Doubling down on the highteneded surveillance already embedded in the Trials, the risk of being exposed to the all-seeing eye is greater than ever before in the newest update of The Outlast Trials now available on all platforms.

This update includes:

• New Gameplay Event: “It’s time to Escape!”
  
• Under Surveillance Limited-Time Event pt.2
  
• Reagent Reborn Experimental Changes

“It’s time. I’ve gimmicked the Trial Shuttle to take you to the escape; you can call it from the terminal. Act like nothing’s out of the ordinary, I’ll keep this running as long as I can, but Murkoff’s going to realize something is wrong. Go now!”


Reagents, this will likely be the only chance we’ve got… Now is your chance to Escape the Sinyala Facility!

• With the help of the schematics that were collected, Amelia was able to hack Murkoff’s Trial Terminal. Interact with the Terminal in the Sleep Room to commence your Escape.
  
• Assemble your group! You can attempt the Escape with up to 4 Reagents.
  
• Don’t miss your shot at freedom, it may never come again.

“For reasons solely based around your safety during therapy, we have temporarily heightened surveillance in our Trial environments. Falling under the scrutiny of our all-seeing eye will alert staff to any nearby hazards.”

• Continue your progress by completing Part II of the Under Surveillance Limited-Time Event as Murkoff tries to fight against Amelia’s Escape plan.

• Find the Escape Plans scattered throughout the Trials to help Reagents escape the Murkoff Institution.
  
• Find the Television Broadcast and watch the Amelia’s Escape message before Murkoff does.

• Continue to help Amelia by completing her next batch of Tasks.

Show your support to Amelia by unlocking and wearing the exclusive cosmetics available in the Amelia Catalog.

• Acquire Event Tokens by completing Under Surveillance Trials and certain Tasks.
  
• Make sure to use all acquired Tokens before the event’s completion on April 22nd. All remaining Event Tokens will be lost.

Since our 1.0 Launch, Reagents have amazed us by completing over 1.3 million Rebirths! As we mentioned in our previous Blog Post, the Season 3 update will be coming April 22nd and the Sinyala Facility will usher in some changes to its Reborn scientific experiment/Rebirth initiative in order to improve the Therapy. As of the Season 3 update on April 22nd at 10am ET, access to the Rebirth hallway will be closed off for the near future while we retool the Reborn procedure.

Now is the time to test your resilience and attempt becoming Reborn! Remember that you can obtain exclusive Legendary Outfits when you become Reborn, as well as Trophy Cell Items when you hit 1, 5, 10, 25, 50, 75, and 100 Reborns.
