One of Castellanos' cop buddies, Julie Kidman, is also pulled in and eventually seems to betray him – though both her actions and motivations are less than clear. The Evil Within's campaign focused on Sebastian Castellanos, an alcoholic cop pulled into a nightmare world controlled by a nasty sort called Ruvik. To explain the DLC's setup requires some mild spoilers for the original game's storyline.
But with two pieces of DLC, both now released, developer Tango Gameworks has moved TEW even further away from the action beats of its inspiration.Ĭlick to once again enter the world of survival horror. Basically it's a fantastic re-working of the survival horror genre, and in particular Resident Evil, as psychological torment rather than biological gauntlet – and my opinion of it increases over time. The Evil Within is one of those gems that, because it was released in that pre-Christmas period when EVERY GAME IS, went a little under-appreciated.
