This sequence illustrates both the promise of Outlast 2 and a potential source of frustration. To avoid getting chopped to bits, the player can slip underneath a fence and into the middle of a massive cornfield. The best example is also the part of the game that’s most clearly drawing from “Children of the Corn.” At one point, Blake finds himself cornered, trapped between a locked door and an approaching group of very angry men armed with sharp weapons. Where hiding in the previous game may have meant running into a nearby room and slamming the door shut, in Outlast 2 you often have to work harder to break line of sight with an enemy. This compound, though enclosed, has areas that are much larger than the rooms and corridors of the previous Outlast. The big change from the first game is that setting. The core gameplay revolves around trying to stay out of the way of enemies and finding batteries to keep your constantly draining camera alive. As Blake, players must slowly explore the surrounding area, discovering and avoiding a group of extremely, er, devout Christians of a particularly bloody sect.Īs in the first Outlast, the main character carries a camera, which both allows you to record and document certain grotesque scenes and also allows you to use night vision to see in the dark - a necessity for the pitch-black barns and shaded walkways of this region. The game opens with the couple on a helicopter, flying into a desert valley to investigate the murder of a young, pregnant woman.īefore they can even record an intro for the segment, the helicopter crashes and Blake and Lynn are separated.
You take on the role of Blake, a cameraman who primarily films his wife, an on-camera journalist named Lynn. Outlast 2 takes place in the same world and timeline as the first game, but it introduces new characters who are exploring a very different situation than the first game’s not-quite-abandoned mental asylum.
