Lab horror levels up Red Barrels' co-optionalhorror"therapy" simulatorThe Outlast Trialsleaves early access today. I haven’t played anOutlastgame since reviewing the second numbered game andhaving excitable opinions about its portrayal of the moon. I’ll be honest, I’d assumed the series had died, but Steam user reviewers seem pretty keen on Trials, which takes the first game’s mucky asylum premise and spins it out into a low-key live service game about playing a series of human guinea pigs, trying to escape an experimental brainwashing lab run by the villainous Murkoff Corporation....

Unknown 9: Awakening gives a first look at its mix of Psi-Ops and Assassin’s Creed, ahead of a summer release

First gameplay appears almost four years after the ambitious action-adventure game was revealed Unknown 9 appears to be an action-adventure game in theAssassin’s Creedmould of things, as Haroona balances along convenient wooden beams, parkours over rooftops and sneaks between patches of long grass. (She also pulls down a very assassin-y hood at one point, if the comparison wasn’t clear enough.) That’s then combined with what looks to be a loadout of telekinetic powers with roots in the wonderfullyfun psychic chaos of Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy, as Haroona blocks bullets (fired by some kind of gasmasked World War I soldier?...
