ABOUT THE GAME
Red Barrels invites you to experience mindnumbing terror, this time with friends. Whether you go through the trials alone or in teams, if you survive long enough and complete the therapy, Murkoff will happily let you leave but will you be the same Set in the era of the Cold War, human guinea pigs are involuntarily recruited by the good folks at the Murkoff Corporation to test advanced methods of brainwashing and mind control. In a world of distrust, fear, and violence, your morals will be challenged, your endurance tested, and your sanity crushed. All in the name of progress, science, and profit.
Youre all prisoners of Murkoff trapped inside their facility. You can choose to complete the trials by yourself or you can tackle them in a team of 2, 3, or 4 players. Coop is never forced when it comes to mandatory objectives but working together can be highly beneficial. Whatever the number of players in your party, its about surviving and getting out. Ultimately, your goal is to complete Murkoffs therapy and earn the right to be released back into society. In order to do so, you must complete the Trials and the MKChallenges. Trials are immersive story driven therapies that take a certain time to complete. MkChallenges are shorter therapies occurring in modified or redesigned section of an existing map.
FEATURES
Break the Self Murkoff aims to break down the test subjects fundamental beliefs. Aspects of selfidentity are systematically attacked. Like boot camp or indoctrination, the goal is to force a person to purge themselves of anything held sacred or taboo, the things that limit their behavior. The constant assault on identity, guilt and selfbetrayal eventually leads to them breaking down.
Build the Self Its a bad cop, good cop principle. The rejection of the old ideology leaves a vacuum into which the new ideology can be introduced. As the antithesis of the old ideology, it forms a perfect attraction point as the person flees the old in search of a contrasting replacement. This progress is accelerated as the new ideology is portrayed as harmonious and ideally suited to the persons needs.
