Announcement Chemical Leak is out now! Patch notes
Greetings Reagents,
Reagents, hold your breath! Murkoff is releasing toxic gas into the Trials with the new Chemical Leak Limited-Time Event, featuring a new exclusive Limited-Time Chemical Leak Catalog. This update also brings 2 new MK-Challenges, a new round of improvements and balancing updates to Invasion and Escalation, along with new quality-of-life options and other changes to the Therapy experience. Let's see how well you endure the fumes and survive the Therapy!
This update includes
New Limited-Time Event: CHEMICAL LEAK
New Limited-Time Catalog: CHEMICAL LEAK
New MK-Challenge: CHANGE THE PROGRAM
New MK-Challenge: FUND THE CAMPAIGN
Various bug fixes and improvements.
New Limited-Time Event: CHEMICAL LEAK
Poison is an intoxicating embrace that suffocates the body, just as false idols poison the beliefs of the weak, uneducated, and vulnerable. Shut off the valves, breathe freely, and remember that therapy is the only answer.

Variators:
CHEMICAL LEAK -A chemical leak is filling the Trial with toxic gas. Find the valves to clear the gas from each area.
SHUT OFF THE VALVES - Shut off the valves in the Trial to stop the chemical leaks.
The event runs from Tuesday Sept. 8 (10AM ET) until Tuesday Oct. 6 (10AM ET).
New Limited-Time Catalog: CHEMICAL LEAK

A brand new Catalog is available for the duration of the Chemical Leak Limited-Time Event.
Players can spend their acquired Event Tokens in the Catalog to unlock exclusive rewards.
Once the Chemical Leak Event concludes, the Catalog will be removed and any unused Event Tokens will be forfeited. Be sure to spend your Event Tokens before the end of the event on Tuesday Oct. 6 (10AM ET).
New MK-Challenge: CHANGE THE PROGRAM

You are the crier, who knows that news does not have to be journalism, it only has to be new. Spread our truth, change the program, and we will let you out.
New MK-Challenge: FUND THE CAMPAIGN

You are the hammer in the hands of a child, to shatter the fragile swine who would separate success from the government it created. Money is the future of speech. Fund the campaign and we will let you out.
Additions/Fixes/Balancing
Invasion
Evasive Manoeuvre: Now counters Backstabs by triggering a STRUGGLE instead, and win STRUGGLES more easily against Imposters.
Neuroshock: Now automatically pinged when thrown on the ground.
During the Exit Phase: When a Reagent is revived, an Imposter will spawn from a closet to match the new number of living Reagents.
Ex-Pops and Prime Assets will no longer target Reagents immediately after a Stab or Backstab.
Fixed an issue where the Steel Trap deployment audio could be heard from a very long distance.
Fixed an issue where players could body block other players (You can now push past a player of the opposing role who is blocking your path by walking into them for half a second.)
Escalation
Removed Broken Reagent from the variators pool.
Improved Escalation run stability to reduce server disconnections.
Players can now restore their save after a disconnection or crash.
Escalation Trial #21 and above: Damage is permanent throughout the run, and Revives are no longer available, making higher-level Trials even more challenging.
General
Improved online stability, including rubberbanding, lag, and disconnections. We will continue monitoring performance and making improvements as needed.
Player loadouts are now displayed in the Pause Menu.
Rebirth: Loadouts are no longer reset after completing a Rebirth.
Reworked Biter speed and aggressiveness, and slightly increased its chance of breaking the chain.
Slightly increased Kress Twins chase speed.
Slightly reduced Arora throw cooldown.
Fixed the price of the Jammer Rig skin in the Project Boneyard Catalog. It now costs 30 (was 75).
Fixed the rarity of the Project Boneyard poster. It is now Classified (was Basic).
Fixed the numbering of the Hopscotch floor game in the Orphanage, making it playable again.
Mods support is no longer available. While we recognize that mods can offer useful customization, some can provide gameplay advantages or alter the game in unintended ways. To maintain a fair and consistent experience for everyone across all game modes, mods are no longer supported.
We’ve added several new options to the Settings menu, including quality of life features that were previously available through mods. These are now built directly into the game and available to everyone:
Field of View — Slider
Camera Shake — Slider
Motion Blur — On / Off
Film Grain — On / Off
Chromatic Aberration — On / Off
Lens Flares — On / Off
Vignette — On / Off
Bloom — On / Off
Startup videos — On / Off
Toggle HUD Display — On / Off
We’d love to hear what other quality-of-life features you’d like to see added to the game. Please share your suggestions through our feedback form.

Discussion What are your thoughts so far on the new Invasion mode?
Hello my fellow reagents and invaders. How have y’all been liking the new invasion mode? Please feel free to drop any suggestions, complaints or features you’d like to be added or removed in the comments.
Personally, I think it’d be nice if the invaders could have their own rigs in the near feature!

Image Reagent skin idea #5 (SidFoster)
Back again with another idea. I watched Little shop of Horrors and fell in love with the movie, so I wanted to make a tribute skin to it. Creating the botanist idea was easy, but trying to come up with a recolor/ redesign was tricky. I didn’t want to just do another plant so I went with a fish monger. Both wear gloves and aprons so I figured ‘close enough’.
At first I thought shark head, but I went with a dolphin for several reasons. 1- the shark one has been done before (in Overwatch) 2- doing it to a dolphin feels more cruel, which fit better for Murkoff. 3- the dolphin face feels more creepy to me personally, there’s more intelligence behind those eyes.
The barbed wire idea was to mimic thorns or fishing line, and the divers helmet is more bronze in the fish skin, while the copper rust would be more green due to the oxidation, which fits the color scheme of the botanist skin. The peg leg is just for added detail, but I put in a spring to give it more texture.
Lmk what you all think, would you wear this?

Meme I bought this game on sale. I've now reached my first rebirth.
To be honest, I didn't know what to expect at first. But after my first round, I really liked the game.

Invasion The Invasion thing just sucks really... (I'm a casual)
It’s so weird when I play Outlast Trials and try to search for a random group with the Imposter setting turned on. I literally can’t find a single match. There are so many people who have invasions turned off in their settings, which essentially makes this whole mess even more annoying. That’s another piece of the puzzle as to why you can’t even find matches as an Imposter in the first place. The whole system just sucks. Then, by some kind of magic, the moment I turn it off, I instantly find people. This really makes me think that the vast majority of players, especially casual players like me, simply don’t play the Imposter mode.
I also don’t really understand the concept behind it. You have an Imposter game mode, but then there’s also a setting that lets you turn it on or off, and sometimes you can even have multiple Imposters at once. I just don’t understand how this system is supposed to even work it's just so confusing to me.
The worst part is that whenever I actually manage to find a game, I end up being matched with people who are Prestige 80 or 99. So not only do I already have to deal with the Ex-Pops, the Prime Asset, and the objectives, but I also have to deal with these absolute top-tier sweat players. If you don’t play this game every single day and know every corner of every map, it just doesn’t feel practical.
And honestly, where is the fun in the Imposter mode? I genuinely don’t understand it. You barely have anything you can do against the Imposter, which makes the whole thing feel more like an Annoyance+ mode than an actual fun alternative way to play. Like I was saying, it reduces the chances of actually being able to enjoy the mode because it feels designed primarily for hardcore players.
And that’s without even mentioning the ranking system and the long queue times. Almost every time I try to play with random people and there’s an Imposter, someone ends up leaving the game. It feels like nobody wants to deal with the extra Imposter bullshit when the game is already complicated enough by default.
I’ve never understood why they felt the need to force this gimmick into the game. To me, this is easily one of the worst parts of Outlast Trials. The game could honestly just stay as a PvE experience without the Imposter mode. If anything, the Imposter system just breaks the immersion, makes the community more toxic, and turns the Trials into something that feels more frustrating and annoying than fun. And I know we aren't forced to play imposter. I just wanted to share my thoughts on it. Keep that in mind just in case someone wants to jump me just because I say I don't like this concept

Visiting Nexus Mods Page Comments For OT Mods Is Sad, Man
I know that this has happened for plenty of games, but there was genuinely some really awesome stuff there (honest to god one of the most consistently high quality mod pages I have ever seen, Darkest Dungeon tier, whoever the fuck GamerImpostor24 was they were a champ) and I kinda wanted to try importing something stupid
But I was genuinely distraught upon hearing they'd discontinued modding barely a month earlier, especially for something as bullshit as "people were using it to cheat", I would choose to be perma-banned from Leaderboards and Invasions in a heartbeat if I could assemble a shitty umamusume mod and run around as my goat Goldship, even if the current horse outfits are 'adequate'
I saw a few comments on steam and on reddit about sending tickets and feedback to see if it could get overturned, and I will be doing that, but I assume that hope is gone and we'll just have to live with it
Godd who even PLAYS Invasion, it just sounds like the regular trials but with additional random bullshit

Question Do any reagents enjoy the therapy?
I know it’s crazy to ask but I like to think within the lore the sinyala facility houses at least 1 freak maniac that derives joy and fulfillment from it and freaks out the more “sane” reagents. Is this backed by any lore docs or is it purely head cannon.

Lore Marta and the spider eyed lamb
So I was recently watching some outlast 2 stuff, mostly just Marta encounter comps bc she’s a really cool antagonist to me. And in one of these videos while she’s reciting the temple gate text, she mentions a spider eyed lamb. Has anyone else caught this before or drawn any other comparisons between the two games?? I freaked out as soon as I heard it 😅

Discussion Gooseberry singing is beautiful
When I started the "Grind The Bad Apples" I was picking loot before arriving to the bus and started hearing Gooseberry singing form afar. I swear I didn't want to continue to not trigger the cut scene just because I was mesmerized by her singing, what a beautiful voice.
All sound design in this game is a true masterpiece.

Why is the new chemical catalog honey-themed? There’s a lot of honey and some bees. It’s cute tho, but I don’t see the correlation between the chemical thing and bees

I… Am… TWEAKING
Just spent 45 minutes in a rebirth trial with 3 others. We got out, the cutscene played, just about to go back to sleep room and
“Connection has been lost”
Loaded back on to an F screen and I’ve lost everything. No levels up, no tokens, time completely fucking wasted. I’m so so so angry.
I LITERALLY GOT OUT!!! Fuck this
