How to Play With Friends in The Outlast Trials

Unlike the first and second Outlast games, the Trials offers a more unique experience in that you can play with friends. It takes the idea of hiding or running away from enemies as you are unarmed similar to the protagonist in Outlast, whilst having to complete tasks that feel impossible due to the patrolling route of the enemy AI. It is a mix of Dead by Daylight in that you have to complete a set of rather loud tasks whilst trying to evade the grasps of the enemies. However, unlike Dead by Daylight, the enemies are not your friends or randoms but AI, bringing the older missions of Outlast to life by incorporating a playstyle that is strategic in how you and your friends take the trial on.
