For those not in the know, Outlast 2 is part of that trend in survival horror games in which you are totally disarmed, with no hope of fighting back, so you must either run or hide or run and hide. This is the set up for developer Red Barrels latest game, Outlast 2.Īnyone that has any familiarity with indie horror games from the last half decade will find Outlast 2 familiar, even more obviously if you’ve played any of the original.
You put on your glasses and wander through the bright moonlit night through somewhere in Southern, rural America and find yourself stumbling into the village of a crazy redneck cult, in which something seemingly supernatural or otherwise is occurring. After some inexplicable helicopter crash, you, a camera guy are found seperated from your journalist wife.
