Thanks to it we will be able to see in the dark through the use of night vision and learn the positioning of enemies thanks to the directional microphone, thanks to a non-invasive Hud that will signal the sound intensities in the surroundings. As seen in the previous chapter, the gameplay centralizes the use of the camera as the primary source of survival. Outlast 2 is proposed on our monitors as an incessant race on well-defined tracks, hunted by hordes of religious fanatics and monstrosities, blinded by the dark and confused by the sharpness of the horror that is preparing to tear us apart. Warned of the madness we have just heard, we realize that the nice villagers are hunting us, we crouch and proceed cautiously, we must save Lynn at any cost. Loudspeakers mounted on the church overlooking the village caw a gruesome announcement: the mother of the antichrist fell from heaven, pregnant and ready to give light to the apocalypse. Survivors of the collapse, wounded and armed only with the faithful battery-powered chamber, a single thought grips us: where is Lynn? Tumbling down the steep slopes of the mountain, when the horizon reveals a village.Įncouraged by the rural vision we enter the rural outskirts of Castle Gate in search of help. Suddenly the breakdown, the screams and the quick fall. We are playing the role of cameraman Blake flying over the canyons of Arizona with his partner Lynn, intent on investigating the mysterious death of Jane Doe, strangled in the hospital. Welcome to the terrible Arizona of Outlast 2.

Are you ready to lock the windows, put on your headphones and throw yourself headlong into that masochistic pleasure you well remember. It matters little whether to move your step is the desperate search for exorcism of a restlessness encountered by mistake and never forgotten or an irrepressible need for that concoction of horror, thrill and suspense for which you so long. If you have come here perhaps Shinji Mikami's horror veteran, survivor of the silent hill of Keiichiro Toyama, convinced voyeur of Dario Argento, victim of the seductive charm of the Hitchcockian universe or trapped in that dusty tome signed Stephen King: it doesn't matter. It feeds on the archetypal terrors of a dystopian imaginary: it is the fear of the dark, of the monster under the bed, of that sound that you would swear to have heard clearly. There is a dark place in our mind that morbidly longs for all that reason shuns.
