The Evil Within Walkthrough and Guide

Welcome to the guide. Please use the menu on the right to navigate.

The Evil Within is a horror game, that much is clear. It probably also qualifies as a pulp horror game; it has a lot of gore. What makes it interesting as, one could say, a 'cultural artifact', is that it taps into the classical horror genre, combining this with a story that focuses on the assimilation of consciousness and the human psyche. It draws heavy inspiration from movies such as The Dark City and The Matrix.

Whether that makes for a good story we'll leave for the reader to decide. The gameplay blends in certain aspects of the later Resident Evil titles, but also some more stealthy facets which are more akin to The Last of Us.
