Red Barrels; normally in games we stay away from them as they have a tendency to explode but these Red Barrels should be embraced and given a chance. Several of the staff in the newly formed indie company have worked on some good titles, namely Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, Assassin’s Creed and Splinter Cell: Conviction.
Red Barrels has just announced its first title will be a survival-horror game called Outlast.

The game is set in an insane asylum run amok in the remote mountains of Colorado. You play as a journalist with the bum luck of chasing a lead there only to get more than you bargained for.
“There are already a lot of great games out there about terrifying monsters that eat brains; we want Outlast’s to be scary because you’ll know the enemies you face still have them,” said co-founder of Red Barrels Philippe Morin.
“Our team has a lot of previous experience creating big, blockbuster games,” added co-founder David Chateauneuf. “We’re all really excited to see what kind of fear-based emotional rollercoaster we can build on our own!”
