Relapse

Relapse is an action-strategy indie title released on PC in October 2022. The game operates within The Outlast Trials framework, where progression reaches a natural ceiling at maximum level. At that point, players can trigger a Relapse mechanic, which resets their character level in exchange for unlocking permanent upgrades that carry forward into subsequent playthroughs. This system encourages cyclical engagement, balancing the reset of temporary progression against long-term character development.
