Outlast II also jumps straight to the supernatural.

What happened out here? Why is there a full school under this town that's been abandoned? What's with all of the faux Christian propaganda on the walls? When you break out of these vents, you find yourself in an underground school.

The demo quickly gives way to weirdness, with Blake being drug down a well into a series of metal vents, plucking the strings of the claustrophobic among us. The town is covered in the dead, scrawled runes, and semi-religious imagery. At one point, you run into a villager who simply sinks back into the darkness in front of you.
Red Barrels uses this opening to turn up the tension, with screaming in the distance and flashes of movement in the corner of your vision. Did you miss the backwoods night-vision cultists, Blake? Why are you yelling? My first moments in the demo were all spent mentally yelling at Blake for not keeping his damn mouth shut in a bad situation. So Blake has to use the camera sparingly, hunt down other batteries to keep the damn thing charged, and hide if any trouble presents itself. Unfortunately, using it drains the battery quick. The only way to peer into the shadows is through your camera, which has a night-vision mode. Like the first game, things are very dark and you're unarmed. Of course, things go horribly wrong, leaving Blake trapped in Arizona with only his camera, hunting for his wife.
Blake and his wife Lynn are investigative journalists wandering into the Arizona desert to find out the truth about the murder of a pregnant Jane Doe. Unlike the abandoned Colorado asylum that was the first game's location, Outlast II has players stepping behind the camera as Blake Langermann. Outlast II is all about preying on that fear. Sure, it's just farmland and woods, and I'm certain the people that live out there are fine folk, but in my head I just think, "I don't want to be out here at night." Countless films have primed me a certain way. I'm one of those folk who drive through Appalachia with something approaching apprehension. For some urban and suburban Americans, one of those fears involve the rural parts of the country.
