Feel free to laugh at how many times I died! Anyway I had the strangest cycle of feelings for this game. I started it and thought it was superb, but I think at about midway ish (when I had to help Joseph) I started to get really pissed off and left the game alone for a good while. But last month, I decided to give it another go, and wow, I ended up LOVING the gameplay. It's got a little bit of jank, but it all came together to make a genuinely tense survival horror game. Wish the final boss wasn't on rails, but I'm at the point where I'm seriously considering Akumu difficulty despite its reputation.

(The framerate on PS4, though... Whenever it dipped to the low 20s I had to laugh.)

The plot confused me a little, though. Not sure if I missed anything major, I got most of the files. I will get the DLC soon, but if it's possible, could anyone maybe give me a summary of the plot (unless it requires the DLC to make sense)? I gathered the basic parts about Ruvik's childhood tragedy, his stolen research, and the mystery of what happened to Sebastian's daughter.

I've been working on a randomizer mod for the original The Evil Within!

So far, I've been experimenting with:

• Random enemy and boss replacements
• Randomized weapons, items, and loot
• Random enemy sizes
• Replacing crows with enemies
• Seed-based randomization
• Randomized encounters across multiple chapters

It's still very much a work in progress. Some things work surprisingly well, while others cause crashes, softlocks, or don't behave correctly.

One of the biggest challenges has been preserving scripted encounters while making the game as chaotic as possible.

The only reason it took so long was because similar to nightmare some parts required bullets/bolts but the rarity in supplies caused me to be softlocked in so many parts of the game. And don't get me started on enemies grab moves being magnetic. Like, i love the game and all, but HOLY shit most of my deaths were legit from enemies going for the grab and I just get sucked into it and die. And yes Ruvik, Fuck you. Fuck your sister too just because. Hope every time you take a step your burnt ass skin sounded like a stack of pringles crunching.

The trend is one where you go on Pinterest and search character, animal, object, flower, doodle, background, and quote, and use whatever the first result is to draw. I got Sebastian for the character as well as all this other cool stuff and this is the drawing I ended up with.

Figured I should share it with my fellow TEW fans since y'all would appreciate it 🥰

I suck at the game though 🫪🤣.

Yes, on microsoft store version you can run at the beginning 5 seconds instead of 3 seconds compared to steam, and if you increase the stamina to the max, you can run 12 seconds instead of 10 seconds. Is there a mod that brings this new feature on steam version?

Use magnum bullets on bosses leading up to ch. 15. I finished with way more ammo than I needed. Final double keeper battle was literally 5 seconds. 1 maxed freeze bolt between them and 3 magnum rounds each is all that is. Had I known I’d have used magnum earlier on ch. 14 boss.

I tried speedrunning but also got locker keys and it took just over 6 hours.

And full house has never popped. Do I need to basically never close and reopen the game until it pops? Or do I need to do it all in 1 chapter?

EDIT:
Nevermind about full house, i think I just needed to do shotgun after flash because it popped when doing that. Or maybe it needed max harpoon. Or both, but that’s all I did this time and it popped

I watched a deep dive video about The Evil Within this week, but unfortunately, I can’t find it anymore. In it, they mentioned, among other things, that the game’s story was changed during development, as is often the case, and I think they quoted the book “The Art of The Evil Within”:

Apparently, one of the original ideas was that Sebastian had been one of the men who set the barn on fire while Laura and Ruvik were playing inside.

I find this really interesting and wonder why they scrapped that idea. Seb is a year older than Ruvik. It would have changed quite a lot. He would have still been a child himself and maybe forced to take part in it. If he had lived nearby, he might have grown up in a cult himself, just like Kidman.

Is that why Ruvik says “You did this to us!” in Chapter 10? And they never cut that?

It’s been a while since I’ve drawn anything but here’s a rough sketch of my favourite trio of burnt fellas in video games. I used eyeliner, charcoal, Prismacolor and oil pencil.

Ruvik, Achilleas (Rogue Trader) and Ambrus (Dawnwalker)

Hey all,

Does anyone have a mod for The Evil Within 1 that pulls back the camera while aiming like in the beta footage?

Thank you!

Alors j’adore The evil within je connais depuis que mon père y jouait sur sa ps3 et j’y ai joué sur mon pc et j’ai voulu tester le 2, j’aurais préféré jamais y jouer le 2 est horrible c’est brouillon c’est répétitif c’est chiant on dirait presque un jeu mobile où tu dois évoluer face à des zombies de plus gros niveaux chaques fois, ça fait peur mais c’est lourd c’est vraiment un jeu qu’ils ont sorti mais qu’ils auraient pas du sortir. Je suis vraiment vraiment déçus j’ai d’ailleurs arrêter à la moitier du jeu c’est tellement mauvais c’est mal foutu c’est pas un The evil within c’est une version frauduleuse c’est vraiment n’importe quoi et au delà de ça j’ai joué à beaucoup de jeux d’horreur et là c’est vraiment à chier jamais vu ça même un jeu indé que t’installe gratuit sur itch.io est mieux que cette chose abominable. Je sais pas comment on peut aimer ce jeu alors que c’est de la merde c’est une honte

​Can't believe it's been a whole 12 years since we first stepped foot into Beacon Hospital and got terrorized by Ruvik and Laura.

​Honestly, despite its flaws, the pure survival horror vibe of the first half of this game is unmatched. Running out of matches, sneaking around haunted, and just trying to survive was top tier.

​Anyone else replaying it today to celebrate, or are we all just collectively crying in a corner waiting for a third game that'll probably never happen?

The game will let you remove Joseph, but not let you spawn the boogeyman. Tragic

does anyone have id tech 5 knowledge? ( ；∀；)

There are multiple completely invisible traps under the water in ch 14 on Akumu. This mode is basically the devs trolling players.

A rare finisher in this awesome DLC! I have seen very little people post this and know of its existence, so I felt like I should share!

After see God of War 3 Remastered and Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled running so good, I was wondering how The Evil Within recomp would run, since the PC version is so unoptimized and has stutters in many PCs, peharps a recomp based on the PS4 ver. could become the definitive edition and even an android port might be possible too, since God of War 3 Remastered is getting it (with support a mods, this might be even better than I thought)

Happy 12th Birthday to my favorite game of all time!

For the first question, the two games have preorders that can't be bought separately(just like many games sadly).

And for the second question, microsoft store version of the evil within 1 has exclusive features including the posibility to run for at most 5 seconds instead of 3 seconds(and of course if you upgrade the stamina to the max, you can run at most 12 seconds instead of 10 seconds).
