Red Barrels, an independent game development studio based in Montreal, today announced that its first title – PC survival-horror experience, Outlast – will be playable for the first time as part of the PAX East Indie MegaBooth in Boston, March 22-24.
Attendees will be given a chance to walk the corridors of Mount Massive Asylum in the shoes of investigative reporter Miles Upshur as he tries to escape the evils that roam the complex’s halls.
“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!”
