The development of Secret Agent No. 6 has been lacking due to some busy school and work periods. As I want to bring out a great product, more time will be needed. This means that the current release date has been pushed back for some time (unclear how far exactly).
To make up for the longer wait time, I have started a devlog where I'll be showcasing some of the 'behind the scenes' into making Secret Agent No. 6. Should you be interested, you view the devlog here. If you don't want to miss out on any updates, subscribing can be done through the Official page.
Furthermore, I have decided to soon add a second level (not including the tutorial) to the demo to give you guys more gameplay beforehand. Although it won't contain any of the horror that is eventually present in the full game, it can be fun exploring for now. Stay tuned for this!
Should you have any questions or run into problems with the demo, do not hesitate to let me know.
The Outlast Trials - Red Barrels Community Manager

New Prime Asset: Franco ‘Il Bambino’ Barbi
Project Lupara introduces Franco ‘Il Bambino’ Barbi, a formidable new Prime Asset; the first of his kind, hunting players with his beloved Lupara, a sawed-off shotgun that allows him range beyond any Outlast Trials villain thus far.
Reagents will come face-to-face with Franco in the new story Trial, “Poison the Medicine”, which transports players to The Docks, a brand-new map, and Franco's home turf. Keep an eye out for his traps too…
The perverse son of New Orleans mafia don Salvatore Barbi, Franco is driven by craven entitlement, greed, and psychosexual violence fueled by his impotence and insecurities, a freakish ‘big baby’ obsessed with his ‘Pacifier’; the titular boom stick he sucks on when he’s not using it to blow someone to smithereens.
For those who won't get enough of Franco, fear not! The Bambino special event will run for the first 4 weeks following the update where Franco will appear in all other Trials and MK-Challenges.
Franco joins Gooseberry or Coyle in their respective Trials. Compound charismatic trauma accentuated and contradicted by the indiscriminate destruction of gun violence.
The event will be split into 2 parts (2 weeks each), with a selection of Trials for each part.
New Trials and MK-Challenges
Poison the Medicine - In a godless world, opiates will be the religion of the masses. Take control of drug production, and you can kill with the nonchalance of a god.
Fuel the Release - Justice, like civilization, requires power, and power requires fuel. Carry the fuel, power the court, and secure your liberty.
Teach the Police Officer - Defining laws creates crime; replace the precinct’s training film with Murkoff’s reels and make future crimes our own.
Mansion Escape - A new final trial and conclusion.
Mansion Escape
Revisit the final Trial and experience an entirely new challenge.
Mansion Escape will now evolve as you release Reagents, increasing in difficulty with every Reagent Release.
Witness a new release conclusion when you succeed in escaping and become Reborn.
Players can only accumulate 20 Release Tokens at a time
Escalation Therapy
ESCALATION THERAPY, a new game mode being introduced alongside this update.
Reagents partake in a roguelite experience pitting them against a never-ending series of randomized Trials with variators that will have them clawing their eyes out until they succumb to a Permadeath that will begin the cycle anew.
Reagents will begin with nothing and build their loadouts from Murkoff’s limited selection of upgrades.
The longer you can survive, the bigger the reward.
Upcoming Weekly Programs
Upcoming weekly programs in this season:
HEMORRHAGE - Damage causes bleeding, and unless you find and use bandages, you'll bleed out, and die. We won't always be there to take care of you.
CAPGRASS DELUSION - More devious imposters, no player names displayed, and radio communication is limited. Cooperation is crucial, trust no one.
THE HUMBLING - Start the Trial with lowered health and limited inventory. We strip you down to your truest self, so you can identify and destroy who you really are.
CROSSED SIGNALS - Radio range is limited. In the ensuing silence, Reagents are increasingly vulnerable to hallucination. Learn to mistrust silence, let us be the voices in your head.
And more! Stay tuned!
New Rig: Barricade
Reagents can gain access to a new Rig to use in the Trials: The Barricade.
This tool can be used to block paths, giving Reagents the time needed to complete their objectives while pursuers are forced to bash their way through or take the long way around.
Like the other Rigs, The Barricade comes with its own set of upgrades that can be unlocked to bolster Reagents even more in their moment of need.
Programs
The Program menus have been revamped with a new visual and difficulty selection support.
There are now 3 programs at all time:
Core Therapy “Genesis”: Access to the Genesis Trials.
Weekly Therapy & Special Therapy: Set of Trials and MK-Challenges that change regularly.
Endurance Therapy “Escalation”: Access to the new game mode roguelite.
Difficulty
We are introducing a difficulty selection to Program Genesis, Weekly Therapies, and Special Therapies. Players can now adjust the difficulty to their pain tolerance:
Introductory: The minimum prescribed dose of pain, to learn basic therapeutic techniques.
Standard: Regulated therapy at a statistically average level of terror and pain.
Intense: High-level therapy for patients seeking intense growth.
Psychosurgery: Maximum trauma.
Quickplay
The group finder has been replaced by Quick Play.
Using Quick Play will now look for players of the selected program and difficulty.
The Trial will be picked randomly or be the group leader selection.
The group leader can always change the selected Trial after the group if formed.
Dev comments: “With the changes we are implementing, we aim to significantly reduce matchmaking time and improve match quality. We will continue to monitor Matchmaking and make necessary changes if needed.”
Tasks
Accomplishing tasks gives Reagents a sense of pride, and earns them various rewards.
Daily Tasks: Complete within 24 hours before they refresh.
Weekly Tasks: Complete within 7 days before they refresh.
Weekly/Special Program Tasks: Related to the current event; refreshes with new events.
Genesis Tasks: Assist Reagents in their journey to rebirth.

Stroop Test
A new sleep room mini-game for reagents to enjoy while they “unwind” between trials. The Stroop Test is an experiment requiring Reagents to hastily choose between mismatched colored words. This mind-liquifying test quickly becomes a classic Outlast mindbender. Be warned that the Stroop Test, features strobing lights

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for the ongoing support and the warming welcome that you'll do with the game we're working on since years now!
From now on updates will be mostly done during the first half of the week
For people with a gig or party on the weekend being notified of an update just before going live in front of an audience is not ideal. Even if updates were always to be bug-free. While Friday updates were pleasant for me for the excitement of sharing an improved AI VJ, from now most will be between Monday and Wednesday, about every other week.
For this update we have 2 feature requests fulfilled, and several more things added:
- Nudging the visuals timing to an adjustable number of milliseconds before, or after the predicted beat is now possible! So on a wide range of hardware you can get the timing exactly right! Especially recommended with Ableton Link Sync to get that last bit of precision (thanks Henk and Moinvibes for the request!)
- Manually tapping the beat is now another way to let AI VJ know what the BPM is. This is how dedicated VJs have been doing it for decades. And now AI VJ can also work with their routines (thanks Henk!)
- In addition the tapped BPM can also be fed as a hint to the Audio Sync, and then be aligned with audio onsets for a more dynamic approach where you can correct the Audio Sync
- A slow mode has been added for calmer nights at home. Just click the cute little snail!
- A full screen button has been added to the UI. So hiding the UI for operation on a single screen is immediately accessible!
And we've applied a host of smaller fixes: - updated splash screen - some spelling fixes - issue with empty notices fixed
Join us on Discord!:
Other feature requests & bug reports are welcome. Either here or on our discord!
