Boo! No, it's not a ghost, it's just me surprised that I'm using that joke once again. But boo! In the spooky spirit of the season, Outlast developer Red Barrels has released a frightful four-minute trailer for its survival horror showing the sort of moody mood it's gunning for.

Outlast sends an investigative reporter into a spooky abandoned asylum where a huge corporation has been experimenting with goodness knows what. Oh no, who could possibly have foreseen that everything would go wrong and horrors would be unleashed and people would die?

Red Barrels is a small studio founded by folks who've worked on series including Assassin's Creed, Splinter Cell, Prince of Persia, and Uncharted. Outlast will hit PC next year.
