New Time Limited Event: Geister
Project Geister is an experiment in convergent hallucinatory therapy designed to amplify unforeseen side effects of the Trials. Surviving subjects will learn to contribute to a morally hygienic Trial Environment through biohazard collection.
- This marks the first return of a previous Event in The Outlast Trials. We’ve made all last year’s rewards available again for all players, along with a variety of new rewards.
- Experience the event by playing Trials in the program “Geister”.
- Earn Event Tokens by completing Trials and Geister Tasks.
Program Geister Variators:
- EXTRACT ORGAN SAMPLES
: Find deceased reagents and extract organ samples for analysis. - HALLUCINATIONS?: Side effects, trauma or something else?
- MORE IMPOSTERS.: More imposters in the Trial.
- NO PLAYER NAMES.: Player names are hidden. (Intensive and Psychosurgery)
- ENRAGED ENEMIES.: Enemies are on high alert! (Intensive and Psychosurgery)
Event Schedule:
- Part 1 takes place from October 29th–November 12th

New Time Limited Catalog: Geister
- A brand new Catalog is available for the duration of the time limited event.
- Player can spend their acquired event tokens in the time limited catalog to unlock exclusive cosmetics.
- Earn Event Tokens and use them in the Event Catalog to unlock cosmetics. Once the event ends, the catalog will be removed, and any unspent tokens will be lost.
New MK-Challenge
Eliminate the Past – Would you be able to destroy enough boxes in a given time to give yourself a chance to escape?
New Tasks
- The Geister event introduces its own set of tasks.
- Tasks are divided into two parts, with each task rewarding Event Tokens, Stamps, and a random Geister item.
- Complete Part 1 of the Geister tasks to unlock Part 2.
Improved Scare Jumps
- Brace yourself, because the jump scares when your sanity isn’t fully intact have been… enhanced.
- Exceptionally, these jump scare enhancements also happen even at full sanity in the Geister Program, thanks to the “Hallucinations?” variator.
