Outlast 2 is a first-person horror game set in the remote Arizona desert. You play Blake Langermann, a camera operator whose wife goes missing after their helicopter crashes near Temple Gate, a hidden settlement led by the preacher Sullivan Knoth, whose flock believes the end of the world is near. You cannot fight back, so you run, hide and sneak past the villagers while searching for her.
Your camcorder lights the dark with night vision, but its batteries run down, which adds steady pressure. It is a single-player game with a tense, often graphic tone, best suited to players who like intense survival horror and do not mind disturbing material.
