About this game
The Evil Within is a survival horror game that was developed by Tango Gameworks and published by Bethesda Softworks.
Survive The Nightmare
Sebastian Castellanos and his partners are investigating a mass murder when they encounter a mysterious force. Sebastian is ambushed and knocked unconscious, and when he wakes up he finds himself in a nightmarish world where monsters wander among the dead.
Battle Deadly Creatures
Facing unimaginable terror, Sebastian sets out to uncover what's behind this evil force. Twisted creatures and traps await him as he struggles to survive against overwhelming odds. Players must use their wits to survive and employ clever tactics to defeat the enemies. The game also features a unique mechanic whereby players can use the same diabolical devices meant to kill them against the deadly creatures.
True Survival Horror
The game was directed by Shinji Mikami, the father of survival horror. The game is a perfect blend of horror and action, with highly-crafted environments and an intricate story that will bring you to the height of tension.

Fun sometimes but something are annoying. Not a horror game, sometimes confusing/ interesting. Story hard to understand without reading about it.

As someone whos only just getting into survival horror after years of idly sitting by, i can see why this series is so beloved. The concept is great and the execution is just as good, even in 2023 it barely feels like its aged at all. Very excited to play TEW2
