Outlast 2 Launches Odd Kickstarter

Outlast 2 Launches Kickstarter for “Underscares” Companion Diaper – Yes, it’s Real

Underscares, the Outlast 2 companion diaper. Because when you’re scared, #2 can become problem #1.

The first installment of Outlast has been celebrated as one of the scariest games of all time*. In anticipation of the much awaited Outlast 2, fans have been expressing their interest in the most peculiar way:

“Following the release of the first Outlast and feedback from fans, we wanted to create something to let them know that we have been listening,” says Philippe Morin, President of Red Barrels “they have all been so vocal about their reactions, we responded in typical Red Barrels fashion: to the extreme”.

In response to this, Red Barrels in collaboration with Sid Lee have launched the Underscares Companion Diaper Kickstarter campaign for Outlast 2. This no BS crowdfunding campaign is 100% real and inspired by the Outlast community.

Developed in partnership with local Montreal designers, the gamer diaper combines practicality, comfort, and style so gamers and diehard Outlast fans can experience abject terror without worrying about dirtying their egos (or their couches). Available in Basic and Limited Edition Deluxe options; Underscares are wearable, comfortable, high quality and most importantly, washable.

The Kickstarter campaign launched November 17 and will run until December 9, 2016.
