"Outlast 2" Gameplay
Based on the "Outlast 2" demo, it appears Red Barrels has not lost its touch in the survival horror genre. Right at the demo's start, gamers soon realized to their delight that "Outlast 2" really knows how scared.
The player starts as Blake Langermann, a member of a husband and wife investigative journalist team. The first is inside a helicopter and while Blake is speaking to his wife and partner Lynn, the chopper spirals out of control eventually crashing into the desert below.
Thus begins Blake's search for Lynn in total darkness in the "Outlast 2" demo. It is midnight but luckily Blake has a camcorder with a night vision feature. Blake's view of the surrounding landscape is even made more eerie when seen through the cam's greenish screen.
