In addition to no combat or a seeming lack of puzzles, there does not seem like there will be any further development to stealth mechanics ala Alien: Isolation with it’s flares, noisemakers, molotovs and so forth. While this demo is 15 minutes long and is perhaps only the introduction of the game or some kind of vertical slice, there are not even any puzzles like Amnesia: The Dark Descent which started this whole sub genre. But gone are the classic mechanics of survival horror. You also have a camcorder with a green night vision filter in order to help you see in the more dimly lit surroundings, like in the original and is a cool effect that adds to the tension. Maybe you can walk past slowly sometimes instead. 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.
