I quickly came to realize that there was something at the school, something stalking me and the tension that it built up was masterfully executed. Shadows moving in the background and Jessicas laughter and screams through the hallways. so effective.Įxploring the school I noticed a lot of crazy things. It’s in these sequences that Outlast 2 excels, Outlast 2 harnesses what made the horror moments in F.E.A.R. You immediately find out something bad happened to Jessica and the mystery of what happened to her is the basis of these sequences. While searching for Lynn, Blake will at times walk through a door only to find himself in his old Catholic Elementary School which he, his wife Lynn, and their friend Jessica attended. There are two sets of stories transpiring throughout Outlast 2. It’s something that I commend them for and hope more developers will stick to their guns instead of worrying about what may or may not offend people. There is a lot more to the story with some seriously messed up twists that I won’t spoil but I will say that Red Barrels definity pushes the limits, and is clearly ready to accept the controversial scenes in Outlast 2 and especially some of its themes. The leader of the sect which calls itself the Testament of the New Ezekiel is lead by Sullivan Knoth and throughout the adventure you hear him on the intercoms around the town preaching his version of the new Testament and encouraging the townspeople to find and kill Blake. The Sect believes that the end of days has begun and Black and Lynn are the first sign of the end of days. As I progressed things started to become a little more disturbing than just a simple cult trying to kill you.
The Sect that inhabits the town is out for the blood of any outsider that enters their territory. Religion plays a massive role in Outlast 2’s story. Naturally Blake survives the crash and sets out to find his wife by setting off into the valley where he discovers the helicopter pilot’s body completely skinned and hung up on a crucifix, and a small town in the distance. Without warning a mysteriously loud horn and a blinding flash of light disables the helicopter and it comes crashing down. Outlast 2 places you in the shoes of cameraman Blake Langermann who along with his journalist wife Lynn are on a helicopter ride to cover the story of a young murdered pregnant girl who was found on a desert road in Arizona. Outlast 2 leaves the confines of the original’s mental asylum and places us into a small town religious community which as you’ve guessed isn’t the friendliest around.
