Geister variators
Three modifiers twist the Trials while the event runs.
Harvest Organ Samples
Deceased reagents spawn through the Trial — harvest their organ samples for the analysis objective.
Hallucinations?
Side effect, trauma, or something else — the Trial starts showing you things that may not be there.
More Imposters
Imposter reagents appear more often — teammates that aren't teammates.
New to the game?
The Outlast Trials is first-person survival horror built for 1-4 players: complete objectives inside maze-like "Trials" while avoiding enemies, with stealth and hiding over combat. The Geister window is a good entry point — double event rewards are running.
