The visuals seem very Resident Evil like to me and the designs of both the creatures and environments make for a truly horrific looking experience. There's a grainy film like view to the world and intense music as well as disgusting sound effects combine together to really set the mood. ?The game uses both video and audio effectively to convey a sense of fear. Thus ends the intense demo of The Evil Within. Suddenly, a monster made up several appendages come ripping through the bodies and chases you. All around, there are blood streaks and bloody hand prints. In the middle at the end of the corridor lies a pile of bodies. Instead of an old, dilapidated building, he's now in some medical facility. When it clears, Sebastian is in another place. In another area, Sebastian is walking down a hallway when suddenly a wave of blood comes rushing towards him.
#THE EVIL INSIDE 2013 WINDOWS#
Sebastian uses some mines placed under windows and doors to fend off a hoard of zombies coming at him. A nice sequence shown is the ability to set some traps. With another, he fires enough bullets into the body to knock it down and then proceeds to burn it with a torch. Zombies come slowly lumbering towards Sebastian and he's able to take one down with a headshot. The second scene shown has Sebastian walking through an old building. After some more intense sequences sneaking around the butcher, Sebastian finally gets away, barely, in an elevator only to walk outside to see a devastated city. The limping causes more tension as you know you won't be able to run away from the butcher quickly, should he find you. There's the often used scene of hiding inside a locker and seeing the butcher walk by through a slit, hoping that he doesn't turn around and open the door to your hiding spot. Sebastian then continues to sneak around the hospital area as the butcher searches for him. From now to the end of the first part, Sebastian walks with a heavy limp, making him even more vulnerable. The butcher catches up to Sebastian and takes a swipe, cutting the back of one of his legs. You hear the butcher getting closer and closer with his chainsaw in tow. What follows is an intense scene where Sebastian runs down a corridor and the camera is focused on Sebastian from behind. Unfortunately, as Sebastian is trying to sneak away, he trips an alarm alerting the butcher who grabs a chainsaw and starts to chase the protagonist. Detective Sebastian is able to cut himself down with a help of a knife sticking into a dead body hanging near him and proceeds to stealthily steal a key from the butcher to unlock his way out of the room. You hear, but don't see, him take a cleaver and cut off the upper half of one of the bodies hanging in the room and watch him drag it to a table for more mutilation. Sebastian then wakes up, hanging upside down, in a room with a very disturbing figure who I'll call the butcher.This hulking figure wears a white tank top and some weird contraption that surrounds his head. Suddenly, the apparition appears behind Sebastian and knocks him out. In there, he watches a security camera where three officers get brutally murdered by some ghostly apparition. As you enter the hospital, you see plenty of dead people strewn about and Sebastian makes his way to the security office.


It's raining outside with plenty of empty police cars in the parking area in front. For the beginning, you arrive with a few fellow officers to the Beacon Mental Hospital. The Evil Within has you playing Detective Sebastian Castellanos in a third person view and what was shown was the beginning of the game as well as a sequence from later on. That means you're low on resources, low on ammo, and low on the feeling of being safe for any amount of time. He wants you to experience unimaginable fear and to feel that triumph when you overcome those fears. Mikami was on hand to talk about his latest project in that he wants to take survival horror back to its roots with this game. Bethesda's going into the survival horror genre and who better to lead this charge than Shinji Mikami, creator of the Resident Evil series.
