Show of the Week: The Evil Within 2 and 5 Questions We Need It to Answer

The Evil Within 2 continues the story of STEM, a system that allows people to enter a network of linked minds. Our first question is why people would want to, as it's all blood rivers and barbed wire zombies in there, but we also have others, as you’ll find later in Show of the Week.

Beware spoilers ahead for the first game, The Evil Within, below and in the video above.

Our questions for The Evil Within 2 include: what happened to Ruvik, the bad guy in the original Evil Within? If you finished the game you'll remember how you stamped his brain into grey mush.

Yet there are some heavy hints towards the end of the game that he’s managed to install his consciousness in the body of straight-jacketed oddball Leslie.

What’s going on then? Is Ruvik still alive? If so, what’s he up to now? Evil stuff? It’s probably evil stuff, isn’t it.

Also, according to returning character Juli Kidman, the host of the new STEM world that protagonist Sebastian finds himself in is none other than his daughter Lily, who we were lead to believe died in a house fire.

We know what a world shaped by Ruvik’s subconscious looks like, but what can we expect from a world shaped by the mind of a child? If you were hoping for something a bit more PG-rated, then you’re out of luck, if the trailers so far are anything to judge by.

The Evil Within 2 is out on Friday the 13th of October 2017, officially the spookiest date there is.
