Outlast 2 Gets Kickstarter Campaign for Underscares Companion Diaper
Red Barrels has started a rather unique and weird Kickstarter to coincide with the upcoming Outlast 2 game. Basically, Red Barrels wants to make Underscares, the Outlast 2 companion diaper, to coincide with the release of the game.
The Underscares Companion Diaper is a project in collaboration with Sid Lee. And yes, this is real. According to Red Barrels, this is a “no BS crowdfunding campaign” that is “100% real and inspired by the Outlast community.” In addition, the campaign has already reached over $9,000 toward its pledge goal of $29,744.00.
Speaking on the campaign, Red Barrels president Philippe Morin said in a press release: “Following the release of the first Outlast and feedback from fans, we wanted create something to let them know that we have been listening. They have all been so vocal about their reactions, we responded in typical Red Barrels fashion: to the extreme”.
These special “Underscares” were designed in partnership with local Montreal designers. Basically, they are game diapers that combine practicality with comfort and style, designed for hardcore Outlast fans. I guess, the joke is that gamers can play the game without worrying about dirtying their draws. The Underscares, if the campaign is successful, would be available in basic and limited edition deluxe options.
This bizarre campaign is set to run until December 9, 2016. Meanwhile, Outlast 2 is scheduled for a 2017 release for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Windows PC and Mac later in 2017.
