This Trial was my first run on Standard difficulty.
I completed it.
How cleanly is debatable.
Viewer discretion advised. The Outlast Trials is intended for mature audiences and contains graphic violence, disturbing imagery, and psychological horror.
Full Trial recording:
Cancel the Autopsy
The first key was straightforward.
No issues there.
The problems started after picking up the second key.
I thought I’d avoided one of the larger enemies.
I had not.
He spotted me and gave chase.
I ran for the gymnasium, assuming I’d shaken him.
I hadn’t.
He followed me in.
Losing the Thread
After finally finding somewhere safe, I realised I’d made a simple mistake:
I hadn’t checked the clue for the third key.
That meant backtracking.
More movement.
More risk.
Once I did find the clue, the third key turned up in the first place I checked.
Naturally.
The Exit
When it came time to leave, Coyle decided to get involved.
He chased me most of the way to the exit.
I called the subway and tried to hide in a locker.
Coyle immediately pulled me out and shocked me for the effort.
As soon as I had the chance, I ran.
Afterwards
Despite everything — the chase, the backtracking, the locker incident — I somehow finished the Trial with an A rating.
I’m still not entirely sure how.
What I am sure of is that it was a lot of fun.
Standard difficulty already feels like the right place to be.
There’s pressure, but there’s still room for things to go wrong without the run collapsing entirely.
Series Notes
This was a single attempt, recorded as it happened.
There were no retries for recording purposes.
Mistakes stayed in.
Chases stayed in.
The rating was whatever the game decided it was.
