Even tried-and-tested tricks like luring them close to you by lobbing a bottle are prone to disaster unless you time your approach to perfection. They are also incredibly erratic, rarely sticking to the same patrol route and spinning around at unpredictable intervals to catch you off guard. For starters, they run, which is pant-messing scary. Those infected make up the bulk of the foes you face in The Evil Within 2, and while they look like humble, shambling zombies, they are a damn sight more devious. Your job is to enter STEM, find Lily, and figure out what went wrong. The vast majority of its denizens are dead, but have risen again due to some unexplained infection, and now wander the streets. Of course, somebody let a few murderous psychopaths in by mistake and now the town of Union is literally breaking apart. It is revealed to us that Sebastian’s daughter, Lily, is not dead, but is currently trapped within STEM, a terminus that connects multiple brains together in a virtual world. You play as the beleaguered Sebastian Castellanos, who has been dragged from a dive bar where he drinks away the sorrows of the first game and brought to the headquarters of nefarious mega-corp Mobius. They are replaced by mind-bending P.T.-esque environmental morphs and monsters made of gore and goop, all housed in a modern, archetypal American town called Union. Gone are tedious horror tropes like out-of-control psychiatric hospitals and brutes with chainsaws.
