It’s easy to get confused while digesting Outlast 2’s plot as there’s so much going on all at once. So what is it all about? What’s the core premise hidden beneath Outlast 2’s scary setting? Well, that question is a bit harder to answer. Speaking of corn, if you’ve played Outlast 2 at all, you’ll know there are plenty of terrifying cornfields to explore. Kind of like the murderous youngsters in Stephen King’s strange tale, Children of The Corn (yes I'm circling back to King again, I'm sorry). The cultists in Outlast 2 are far removed from civilization, and as such, have been left to their own devices. While Outlast 2 differs in that it’s set in Arizona, it nevertheless draws parallels to the aforementioned horror properties thanks to its themes of isolation, hostile entities, gore, and slaughter. Circling back to the topic of horror producing new horror, Stephen King’s 1996 novel Desperation uses the same sort of abandoned Nevada setting as The Hills Have Eyes (with an ancient, psychotic entity named Tak).

After falling in love with the genre, I not only watched every horror film I could get my hands on, but documentaries into the hidden art of filmmaking as well. While playing through the game, I found myself harkening back to the endless array of horror films I grew up watching. While Outlast strictly centered around Mount Massive Asylum, Outlast 2 is set after the events of the first game amid a remote location in Arizona (Temple Gate). One thing that’s immediately noticeable while playing the game is how different Outlast 2 feels in terms of setting and story.
