Gameplay -
Outlast 2 is a first-person survival horror game that, like its predecessor Outlast, is a single-player campaign. It is set in the Sonoran desert at night, also carrying over the found footage characteristics from the first game. The player controls freelance journalist Blake Langermann, who investigates a dilapidated rural area in Supai,[3] near the Sonoran Desert.
Langermann is completely unable to fight and can only defend in scripted scenes similar to the original Outlast,[4] and can hide in lockers, much like the first game. He only possesses a camcorder, which has night vision enabled, though the camcorder's batteries are also drained when night vision is used. Unlike the first game, Langerman's status as a cameraman means he has a much more advanced camera in his possession, one with clearer footage, zoom, and an audio detection system built into each speaker that can be used to detect distant footsteps. Spare batteries used to recharge the camcorder are spread throughout the locations.[5] Langermann also wears glasses, which limits the player's vision if they fall off.[3]
Plot -
Blake Langermann, an investigative journalist and cameraman working alongside wife Lynn, crash-lands and roams onto the Supai region[3] of the Sonoran desert while following the mysterious murder of a young, pregnant woman only known as Jane Doe.[2] While searching for her, Blake must travel through a village cut off from society where a cult who believes the end of days is upon them has taken up residence.
