As time progresses in this crazy world, so do the minds of the crazy people that live in it. One person goes by the name of Shinju Mikami, with his newest horror video game in the works, The Evil Within.
The story opens as numerous officers, one of which you play as by the name of Sebastian Castellanos, are investigating a gruesome murder which took place in an insane asylum. After an unknown force makes itself known, Sebastian watches helplessly as his fellow officers are brutally murdered in front of him, and is knocked unconscious. When he finally awakes he finds himself in some sort of distorted world, where creatures walk the world side by side with the dead. Sebastian’s main goal is to escape alive.
Personally, I feel as though this game has potential, as long as Shinji writes the story well enough. I’ve seen numerous games with an amazing plot that take a ridiculous turn and ruin themselves. This can be the horror game I’ve been waiting for or just another mistake. So far it is going with a Silent Hill feel, with the creatures roaming the world and the dead walking, maybe this will be just another rip off with cheesy looking graphics and a blah story line to go with it, but at this point only time can tell.
