“We got a huge amount of fantastic, positive feedback when
we unveiled
Outlast a few months back, so we knew we wanted to provide
gamers with a chance to play it as soon as possible,” said
Red Barrels co-founder David Chateauneuf. “I can’t wait
to watch people take their first steps in Mount Massive.”
“There is no doubt in our minds that the MEGABOOTH is the
way for us to be a part of PAX East,” said Philippe Morin,
the other co-founder of Red Barrels. “Indie developers, cool
games, passionate people, friendly atmosphere... what’s not
to like? We hope to see you all there!”
Red Barrels will be located in the Indie MEGABOOTH on the PAX

About Outlast
In the remote mountains of Colorado, horrors wait inside Mount
Massive Asylum. A long-abandoned home for the mentally ill,
recently re-opened by the “research and charity” branch
of the transnational Murkoff Corporation, has been operating in
strict secrecy… until now.
Acting on a tip from an inside source, independent journalist
Miles Upshur breaks into the facility, and what he discovers walks
a terrifying line being science and religion, nature and something
else entirely. Once inside, his only hope of escape lies with the
terrible truth at the heart of Mount Massive.

horror experience which aims to show that the most terrifying
