Examining how Knoth's word is both incongruous with our contemporary values and largely a rewrite of the Old Testament with much of the same iconography and outcomes (but could be any holy book, for that matter), Red Barrels' full and biting commentary comes into view. That's the obvious reading, but just below that basic interpretation is the fact that the Gospel of Knoth hardly reads any different than real life religious texts that are read and beloved by billions globally. On the surface, Temple Gate is a grotesquely violent cult with morals all out of alignment with our modern society. It takes only a moment before you and your wife are separated amid a backwoods clan of religious zealots praising both God and Father Knoth, the snake-tongued leader of their cult, Temple Gate. Characters and environments alike look properly modern, especially with regards to the game's lighting techniques, which is crucial. Right away it's noticable that the success of the original game and the years since it released have been kind to Red Barrels Studio, as Outlast 2 looks much better than its predecessor. The game opens in a helicopter where the investigative power couple is en route to look into the disappearance and subsequent killing of a pregnant Jane Doe in the isolated Arizona desert. Players claim the role of Blake Langermann, who is a cameraman for his journalist wife, Lynn.
#OUTLAST 2 GAME REVIEWS SERIES#
Outlast 2 is another title in the recently popular first-person horror genre, which this series helped popularize years ago with its debut. What then does a fundamentalist look like in the modern world, one who adheres even to the chapters that condone things like human sacrifice and rape? Welcome to Outlast 2's Temple Gate, where it is not the gospel that must be adapted to a modern audience but rather the congregation that reverts to an ancient time of faith-based brutality. It's all-or-nothing in the eyes of the many gods who are alleged to have authored the many texts. They disregard moderates the same way they do heretics or nonbelievers. These books demand a wholehearted approach. The intention to consume religion in moderation seems to resolve some of these issues and it's why we see a lot of modern people skirting some of the inconvenient or disagreeable parts of their holy books, but to do so is actually to disobey the books they're trying to cherrypick for its best ideas. Even if you don't find faith in the absence of evidence - and in spite of counter evidence - to be an alarming view to hold, a fundamentalist's interpretation of any allegedly god-sent scripture is often littered with ideas that are at best awkwardly antiquated and at worst downright illegal in a modern world.
