Red Barrels have delivered some marvelous nightmare inspiring horror goodness yesterday when they released a free demo for the upcoming sequel to their 2013 hide and seek or die masterpiece, Outlast.

Available until November 1^st on all current gen consoles and PC via Steam. I urge you to take a moment out of your day and download this amazing demo while you can.

Red Barrels have announced two months ago that they were delaying the release of Outlast 2 to further polish and deliver a superior product. If the demo is any indication on the whether the delay was a good or bad idea, then it’s extremely evident that the wait will be well worth it.

The demo does an amazing job at providing gamers with a sneak peek at what they’ve been working tirelessly on for the last couple of years. Promising to release more information in the coming months about new features, as well as some of the horrific environments we’ll be running for our lives in.

Red Barrels and myself, strongly recommend taking the opportunity while Outlast 2 wraps up to check out the comic mini-series which aims to bridge the gap between the first game and its sequel. The Murkoff Account, which at this time has two issues available out of five over at Red Barrels official site, is a great read accompanied by some beautiful artwork, oh and did I mention they’re free?

I had the opportunity earlier to sit down and play through the demo and boy was I impressed! From the gorgeous visuals, disturbingly surreal screams, shit your pants moments and the amazing way the game messes with your mind, also counting the fact that my ever aging PC with my five year old 680 GTX had zero issues flawlessly running this beautiful fright fest.

Honestly, this demo looks and runs better than the vast majority of games released this year… that’s saying something. If you’re a horror fanatic like myself, I implore you to jump on Steam right now, download the demo, flick the lights off, blast the surround sound and try not to piss yourself, enjoy!
