On January 26 , 2016 , when asked about the possibility of being released simultaneously and pre-order , Red Barrels replied that it might be possible but were not exactly sure . February 5 , Morin was interviewed by '' Indie Games Level Up ! '' about the game , in which he stated that it was largely based on the Jonestown massacre of 1978 . On April 4 , a video named " Jude 1:14-15 " was released by Red Barrels . Unlike other teasers , the video contains a cross of St. Peter across a background of clouds , with an ominous backmasked audio message . Played in reverse , the message reads : Children , you lovers of God and registration defenders of His paradise — all our years of suffering come together now on this glorious day of peace ... Peace ! Even in the corrupt and filthy tongue of the Romans , in the Puritan city ... On the fourth month and the twenty-second day of the sixteenth year of the third millennium , our reckoning begins . The spider-eyed lamb waits at the harlot 's brace , hungry for this world ! Ready your knives , for the good earth thirsts for blood , and we , like the angels , must show no mercy . God loves you.On April 23 , the game demo was showcased and released at PAX East 2016 and E3 2016 on June 15 . On August 26 , Samuel Laflamme , the original composer for '' Outlast '' , officially announced his return to compose the game 's soundtrack , as well as the upcoming possibility of another teaser
