Extracted from the Wikipedia article Outlast.
Development and release
Outlast was Red Barrels' first game, although the team was a part of Ubisoft and had worked on major AAA games such as Prince of Persia, Assassin's Creed, and Splinter Cell. The game was made in 14 months with a team of 10 people. Red Barrels' CEO Philippe Morin said in 2018 that they initially could not find anyone to invest in the project for 18 months, though they eventually secured a CA$1,000,000 investment from the Canada Media Fund.
