Developed by Shinji Mikami -- creator of the seminal Resident Evil series -- and the talented team at Tango Gameworks, The Evil Within embodies the meaning of pure survival horror. Highly-crafted environments, horrifying anxiety, and an intricate story are combined to create an immersive world that will bring you to the height of tension. With limited resources at your disposal, you’ll fight for survival and experience profound fear in this perfect blend of horror and action.
While investigating the scene of a gruesome mass murder, Detective Sebastian Castellanos and his partners encounter a mysterious and powerful force. After seeing the slaughter of fellow officers, Sebastian is ambushed and knocked unconscious. When he awakens, he finds himself in a deranged world where hideous creatures wander among the dead.
Facing unimaginable terror, and fighting for survival, Sebastian embarks on a frightening journey to unravel what’s behind this evil force.

'The Evil Within' Review
5 /10
'The Evil Within' has some rich and interesting imagery, but its story and gameplay are disappointingly derivative.

The Evil Within had me on edge the entire time. The survival horror elements are top-notch, but some levels felt unnecessarily punishing. Still, the twisted atmosphere and story kept me hooked. It’s not perfect, but it’s worth a play for horror fans.

After years of playing games like Dead Space and the countless Resident Evil games, I thought The Evil Within wouldn't affect me too badly, but I was wrong. Mixing in a cerebral story combined with some of the most terrifying monsters in existence, it feels like the ultimate homage to classic horror games and movies with a modern horror game flair to it that I couldn't get enough of.
The game is a constant mystery from beginning to end, but it never feels like it's trying to hard to be mind-bending. In a way, it feels like the perfect middle ground between Silent Hill, Resident Evil, and Dead Space. It has plenty of challenge, with stressful boss fights, and horrific visuals to keep the player on edge.
While not perfect, it is definitely an experience I will never forget and I recommend it to all fans of horror.
