Source facts

Does The Outlast Trials require a full four-person team?

The developer describes solo trials or teams of two, three or four. Mandatory objectives do not force cooperative participation.

Based on source 1.

Our guidance

What should a new group agree on before a trial?

Discuss the objective and how you will communicate discoveries. Teamwork can help, but the game still asks each player to respond to danger.

Based on source 1.

Our guidance

What is a useful learning goal for a failed trial?

Identify one route, threat or objective interaction you did not understand. Make the next attempt a test of that specific discovery.
