Adult diaper built for 'Outlast' gamers — yes, this is really a thing

Now this is just priceless. Developer Red Barrels, the creator behind the Outlast series, has taken to Kickstarter to offer a companion adult-sized diaper called “Underscares.” According to the company, when players become scared, No. 2 can become problem No. 1, and that’s where the diaper comes in. We s*** you not.

To be perfectly honest, the Kickstarter project appears to be part of the upcoming sequel’s hype generator. Red Barrels said that after the release of the original Outlast, the team received “numerous reports” regarding soiled pants and “unprepared amuses.” This pushed the studio to prepare gamers for Outlast II by selling them an official diaper to wear once the game goes live.

“Underscares are 100 percent real and inspired by the Outlast community,” the Kickstarter page states. “In partnership with local designers, we developed a diaper prototype that combines practicality, comfort and style so gamers can experience abject terror without worrying about dirtying their egos (or their couches).”

The Kickstarter project provides five tiers for Outlast fans. Pledge CA$ 5 or more and get a simple thanks. Pledge 10 Canadian dollars or more, and fans receive a kit to create their own Underscares diaper. After that, the CA$ 55 tier provides an Outlast II Steam key and a “Basic” Underscares diaper, the CA$75 tier offers a Steam key and a “Deluxe” Underscares diaper, and finally the crazy-expensive (and demonic) CA$6,666 tier provides the Outlast Chapel.

According to Red Barrels, the Outlast Chapel package includes six Deluxe diapers, six Outlast II Steam keys, six Outlast II sewable patches, and a replica of the demo booth Red Barrels used during PAX East 2016 in April that was shaped as a chapel. Imagine playing the upcoming sequel on a PC or console sitting inside a chapel-like structure measuring 16 feet high, just over 14 feet wide, and slightly over 16 feet deep. Uncanny.

The “Basic” diaper comes packed with components such as the Ultra-Mesh Sewage Suppressor, Liquid-Lock elastic thigh “portals,” a Middle Morph stretch waistband, and Midnight Brownout abrasion-resistant fabric. The “Deluxe” model tacks on the Fatasp Flavor-Ready drink pocket, the Lilwuss wearable night light, and the Middle Morph reinforced waist support. All models come with an upside-down cross stitched on the front for a more devilish appearance.

“While ensuring final product quality there is the possibility that the pledge levels containing both Basic and Deluxe Underscares will have their delivery dates adjusted in order to ensure final product quality or to accommodate larger than expected quantities,” Red Barrels adds. “The production of the Outlast 2 Underscares is fully dependent on the funding of this Kickstarter project but the project’s success or failure will not affect the publishing of Outlast 2.”

The Underscares Kickstarter project currently has 160 backers pledging $8,902 out of the $29,818 goal as of this publication. The project will end on Thursday, December 8, at 11:59 p.m. while the actual Outlast II game won’t be available until sometime during the first quarter of 2017.

All Grand Theft Auto games in order, by release date and chronologically
People stand on boats in Grand Theft Auto 6.

In the battle for the best open world game of all time, every other game is fighting for second place behind the Grand Theft Auto games. Ever since the third game took the series to 3D, each game has gotten bigger, better, and more popular. We wouldn't be surprised if GTA 6 might be the biggest launch in all of media, not just in games. However, the time between releases has gotten longer and longer to the point where most gamers haven't played any of the games before 3. Those who have played multiple games in the series know that Rockstar likes to bring us back to familiar settings in different time periods. There aren't as many GTA games as Call of Duty games, but playing through them in any kind of order is hard. We cut our teeth on the very first GTA and have rampaged through the entire series so we can lay out how you can play the Grand Theft Auto games in release or chronological order.

Bravely Default HD Remaster shows the party potential of Switch 2’s mouse controls
An airship flies in Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster.

If I had to describe 2012’s Bravely Default, the very last term I’d use is “party game.” In fact, the Nintendo 3DS RPG is the anti party game. It’s a long, winding adventure that requires a tremendous amount of patience to get through. So it came as a bit of a surprise when the first thought I had after demoing its upcoming Switch 2 version, Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster, is that it really sells the party potential of Nintendo’s new console.

That’s not because the RPG has changed in any way; it more has to do with its new side content. During a hand-on demo, I tried my hand at the remaster’s two new minigames, which are available as bonuses from the main menu. Both are designed to use the Switch 2’s mouse controls in incredibly clever ways that left me even more eager to see what developers can do with the unique two joy-con scheme.
