Me hearing that Ruben was more upset about his sister’s death than his injuries: awww :(
Also me seconds later hearing he had romantic feelings for her: oh.
LMAO
I had the same reaction when I found that out in the game
he was definitely unhealthily obsessed with her, or rather the idea of her; getting that happy domestic life back with the “only person who had ever understood him”. but it is in this crazy fan’s opinion that we cannot assume it was romantic attraction. although ruben thinks of laura as some kind of angel, he’s also terrified of her. she haunts him, and dreads the day that she’ll come back for revenge. i think his obsession, especially with STEM, has a lot to do with guilt and obligation. and although it’s easy for someone like Jimenez to see that as almost romantic in nature, ruben’s character is MUCH more complex than that. that’s why i love this game so much :D
@@slaughterosie, but how do you know that? Is there any tip we could use to figure it out as you said?
@@dafilmqueen556 this comment is kinda old so i don’t remember the exact sources- but throughout the game we see that Ruben loved Laura only after the title of “sister”. and we learn that he feels extreme fear that she blames him and will come for him in Laura Creature’s bio from the book “the art of evil within”. i think you can find this page on her wiki.
(also just given Rubens over all character i would be very surprised if a psychopath could feel any romantic attraction at all! that kind of behavior can be masked by such intentions, but it’s often only to regain the feeling of validation.) his childhood with his sister was the only time in his life that he felt true happiness, so he thinks reliving that fantasy is the only way he can feel happy again.
(sorry if i kinda blabbered i love talking abt this game 😭)
I just finally played this game. I can't believe how good it was but the story is kind of hard to follow
Is evil within 1 story associated with 2??
@@EricPOV 2 happens several years after 1 and you can enjoy 2 without playing 1. 2 focuses more on Sebastians personal story about his wife and daughter. But playing 1 is always recommended so you understand the world/characters better.
@@7218007 thanks you helped me
@@7218007 I highly disagree because you’re not going to understand any of the story line if you didn’t play the first one because honestly it’ll leave people guessing what happened previously before the story in 2
Yeah the story is very iffy. I just don't understand though why some people absolutely despise this game over it though. If all I want is a fucking story I'll watch CNN.
I love the evil within both games are good but i prefer the first one.
Same. Just the pure chaos and unpredictability in situations and with each path forward. I've not played or experienced anything else like it.
They were both crazy
I feel like the gameplay of 2 is better but the style and story of 1 is amazing
agree, the addition of open world feature on the 2nd game is nice but i still prefer the 1st game because it gives better vibes
Wjjjkkkkkkjkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Mobius being obsessed with Stem makes way more sense than umbrella constantly making zombies for no real logical reason.
Umbrella was making bioweapons to sell tho
Have you even read the story of Umbrella and the whole RE series ?
@@UnicornPizza no but I have read ur moms cheeks
@@sadexcuseforlife3860 lol
The zombies were an unintended side effect.. 🤣
evil within was actually one of the best horror games of all time. scary visuals that would make you shit yourself if you were in that situation.
"in that situation" saying it like I didn't shit myself anyway
Im playing it rn for the first time and i cant tell you how many times this game sends chills down my spine, truly a heart racing game
@@Savageshiba what did you think of the game?
That was the first horror game that I willingly wanted to play when it came out. I thoroughly enjoyed playing every second. I just love that every time I felt like the game was getting stale, it took me in this whole different direction and time period. You can see a lot of strong Resident Evil/Silent Hill influence which any hardcore fan of either of those games can truly appreciate. Out of all the bosses, Laura was the most terrifying. A burnt woman screeching with anger and torment crawling on all fours, definitely gave me the most trouble lmao
@@Savageshibae
The first game is more of a line-story, it's not an open world one and that's what I like. Sebastian also looked hotter, just the atmosphere in the first game was creepier, the second one was in a city
Kpop fans and objectification. Name a more iconic duo.
Yes TEW1 Sebastian was way hotter than TEW2 protag guy.
@@MGrey-qb5xz Successful? TEW2 flopped so hard I think.
@@adust1684 no it really didn't, not only was it a profit but fan and critic reception was disgustingly higher
@@MGrey-qb5xz Are we really living in the same universe? Recently they officially said that 2 flopped financially. The reception was not that high either. And apparently many people hated that game.
The evil within franchise is one of my favorites. Really love both games and hope for a third one 🤞🏻
Me too. A third one, especially on next gen would be amazing
I keep drunkenly pitching my script to Tango and they cant ignore me forever!!!
It will be very interesting what they do in the third one
@Devil-Machine420 yeah I actually felt bad for ruvik personally because he was tortured mentally to do what they wanted
I was also really hoping for a 3rd game but microsoft fucking killed the whole studio thus the game .. Actually sad
20:30
I don't believe Ruvik could teleport in the real world like that. He's not alive.
Which only means that the sequence at the beginning with Sebastian and crew entering the hospital was a mental reimagining of the events inside of STEM.
I believe they were hooked into STEM wirelessly before entering the hospital in the car. Their bodies were later dragged to the wired terminal inside beacon. Its the only explanation.
The only way Ruvik would manifest himself into the real world would be through Leslie, which happens at the very end.
As someone who's just now getting into this series, Thank you for the succinct summary! Survival horror games tend to have plots that are... Difficult to digest. Booting up the second game, and being treated to a cutscene of the protag trying to rescue his daughter from a burning house, I pretty immediately figured I should find out what the first game was about.
Funny enough most of what occurs in 2 is disconnected from this one
I know there are people who strongly dislike the TEW2 I myself enjoyed the first one more but the second has its charm about it they did a good job with the guy who takes pictures and using murder for art I forget his name because I haven't played it in awhile but that villains soundtrack is unforgettable.
TEW2 was kind of doomed before it released because whatever reason they decided to use the ID4 engine instead of the already released ID5 from a company stand point I think they did this as a means to not butcher other games that released around its time from the same company I guess they figured TEW2 would totally annihilate its sister games so they diluted it a bit there is a video on CZcams about this look it up. Its been a minute since I watched it and I can't remember who did a review on it.
One thing I do love about TEW2 was the steps they took to make it a different but still give you that same feeling as far as horror like all the employees being viciously slaughtered in the hallway the dark rooms ect.
I just wanted clarity on what happen to Ruvik and if he succeeded.
@@10RexTheWolf01 I know right but I do hope they do a TEW3 I would love to experience this
@@10RexTheWolf01 so you are saying that tew2 is not the sequel of tew?
@@aryangarg0608 It is it's just I was hoping on some closure about Ruvik since he look like he succeeded in the end of TEW.
@@aryangarg0608 I think everyone would agree that TEW2 was not a proper sequel to the first game. It was just, a completely different story with some new characters who wasn’t fleshed out.
Finally gave this game a go, really well made. The first two chapters felt a bit clunky and I was considering not playing it, but I went for a full playthrough and it was really intriguing
The same thing happened to me, the two first chapters don't get me but I give it a try and wow, I just finished the two games. Really good ones tbh
I still think that The Evil Within 2 was so incomplete as a sequel of this game. Too many plot points got retconned or ignored. It was so unsatisfying as Sebastian’s story as well, since his personality is too different from the first game and he completely ignores Joseph(like wtf).
Sebastian didn't ignore Joseph. The creators did, they just bullshitted it and played his disappearance and literal abandonment as if it's going to be in the next game or like they really would talk about it later in the game or something but it never comes so it's more unanswered questions about the evil within 1
@@unpluggedgames3262 But Sebastian does talk about Joseph tho
@@unpluggedgames3262 He ignored Joseph and had such forced happy ending with his mcguffin aka Lily, which was bullshit.
@@t.o.p6849 That was just passing mention and we could beat Evil Within 2 without hearing the conversation about Joseph. TEW2 Sebastian literally forgets about his partner, the only person who didn’t leave him when he was having the hardest time in his life, and gets his happy ending with his mcguffin daughter. And now many ppl are like “Seb’s story was completely wrapped up in 2 I hope he never shows in 3”. I know the devs hated Sebastian and Joseph’s relationship and they tried to completely erase Joseph from Seb’s story to make Seb a character that only works for sad dad story, but that was so rude to TEW1 fans and I’ll forever be mad about it.
This game was amazing, but it really felt like work going through it.
I haven't finished the game yet, but I'm currently on chapter 11 or 12 and it honestly felt like it started to drag around chapter 9. How many more encounters with giant one-shot kill bosses do I need before they tell me what the hell is going on? Lol
Yes...exactly..my playthrough was 19h with 133 deaths but it felt like work at places because of how constantly they threw Sebastian into a creepy place just to get out and be thrown into another again
True I'm at chapter 13 and I feel like a wreck THE most confusing story ever but gun play is fun. Stealth is broken and melee is useless.
this game was so good and the story was a pretty brilliant concept, but my god did the story editor or whoever is in charge of putting the story together did a hotmess of a job connecting and putting the segments together into a coherent story. not to mention blocking the third act behind a DLC paywall.
really hope they get to do a third game someday, because the second game seemed to corrected most of the flaws of the first game, but lost some of the first game's atmosphere.
Maybe that was their intention? Since we are inside someone's mind, some things don't make sense lol
Spot on! Would love a remaster for the first game.
That atmosphere was lost with the game having more of an open world in some respects can't be as scripted as the first game.
@@unknowna8056 that doesn't excuse it and when you do find out, more plot holes reveal themselves
What you mean that’s the third act is locked behind a paywall?
Such a good explanation, thank you
Never played this game but I've fallen into a binge of your content and your voice is so relaxing
Fantastic video! I thought I took everything in but just wanted to make sure and I’m glad I did because you picked up on a couple small details I had missed :)
The fact that I work by A beacon mental hospital makes this more scary
Sebastian knew Joseph well before he lost lily, in one of the memories you see as Kidman Joseph and Sebastian discuss Lily in a joyous manor
The first game was way better than 2. It had way more original and interesting story.
Not really. People couldnt understand the first one until they gave the dlcs.
Plus the gameplay in 2nd was much better and smoother.
Granted they went a little towards the safer route with father rescuing daughter story but the side quests, villains and other stuff made pt 2 much better than 1
@@AbsolAhm Objectively the first game was so much better. Without DLCs we could understand Ruvik’s story and he was written better than any of the antagonists of TEW2. Hell, the villains in Evil Within 2 was all shallow and forgettable and I’m still upset about that. None of them had actual backstory. Sebastian’s story was also forgettable and incredibly boring in 2; he didn’t have any character outside sad-dad trope and his daughter was just a plot device. The story didn’t go any deeper than save the princess storyline. In the second game they completely abandoned Ruvik, Leslie and Joseph for the sake of the poorly written family drama and converted Mobius into the weakest evil organization in the world for the sake of the forced happy ending. Everything was dumb in 2 and the second game’s characters were all like, written with no love.
Also the second game was also boring in terms of gameplay. It relied on stealth too much, the level design felt just poorly crafted, the empty open world section was so boring and completely unnecessary and overall enemy AIs were so dumb. It was like the amalgam of other generic action games.
Evil Within 2 was just a lazy, rushed, simplistic and uninspired game. The first game was not perfect but obviously the devs put so much more love and effort into it than the second game. It had way more originality and replayability.
@@AbsolAhm have to respectfully disagree the first one was way better
@@well-being2608 that is where you are wrong, the first game is a mess, ruviks motive wasn't that clear. his actions made no sense, the atmosphere was absent because of the stupid mechanics and over powered weapons, the first games story was deep, but deep in a convoluted sense. plot holes, padding, characters being functions, the first games gameplay was frustrating as hell. there was no attempt to keep tension at all. theres so much i could talk about but that would take too long
@@cappedminer369 You only like games that spoon-feed you the story
Currently on chapter 11 or 12 of the game. I have some vague idea of what's going on but not really. Saving this video for when I finish the game.
The first game’s story was a lot more interesting than the second one😔
the first games wasn't that good. it had concepts that we're interesting but the amount of plot holes inconsistencies and lack of character development prevented it from being fun
@@cappedminer369 still way better than the boring story, terrible storytelling, fridging women characters and the laziest “character development” we got in the second game. The first game had a lot of potential and the sequel just ruined the franchise, I’m still sad😔
@@kitten7199 the sequel did not ruin the franchise. the first game did. the characters may have been cliche and lazy but the evil within 1 was just as lazy with it's story. your delusional
@@cappedminer369 Then why the second game bombed so hard and no one really love its story and characters?😔 The second game dismissed all of the charms that first game had and that’s why it flopped I think😔 And I know many people who had loved the first game’s story and characters so much but disillusioned with the second game and stopped making fan contents😔 And you’re very defensive about the terrible second game and I’m kinda amazed, please have a nice day👍
@@kitten7199 the 2nd game did not kill the franchise, the picky people who didn't play the 2nd game was because of shinji mikami not being the full director or whatever. the 2nd game has it's own charm to it, why does the sequel have to be the same as the first ? i don't get the first games ridiculous story and all, have a nice life
The name "Lore and Order" is so apt.
I personally don’t think that the sister's appearance being monsterous had to do with the fire, but were actually a reflection of Rubin's warped affections for her.
this is what I was thinking but couldn’t formulate it into words
She could also be made of Ruviks desire of vengeance for what was done to her.
The Evil Within is the one horror game that needs a remake.
I imagine these videos take fucking forever to edit. Wonderfully done as always. Thank you for entertaining us!
Haha yeah they do. Good job I have a comfortable chair!
My theory on the end of the game (and I apologize if I misspell names).
I believe that Ruvrik traded places with Leslie when he evaporated him, Ruvrik was outta stem and now Leslie was in control of it all but due to being completely unstable mentally Sebastian’s sub Consciousness dominated Leslie’s thus why the boss fight at the end of the game was so Chaotic and bizarre with Sebastian surviving being Impaled, why the bazooka was so Convenient for him, why he was in a military truck shooting a machine gun like a action hero outta movie. I think Sebastian was so caught up in a moment that his Subconsciousness created this Ridiculous boss fight and the thing he killed at the very end was actually Leslie considering he had traded places with Ruvrik.
It's a pretty lame fight in terms of gameplay, even if it's clever from a storytelling perspective. Personally I'd be looking forward to seeing what Ruvik would be like in Leslie's body after having years to clean up and gather resources.
the only criticism I have for the game is it's in widescreen and there's no way in the options to turn it off
Pretty sure you can. Turn off the letterboxing
The first game is a masterpiece!! The second one was disappointing tho.
Such a great video
I have binged watch your channel in 2 days. Love your lore vids, keep at it!
'she is different...maybe it's the hair' aaahahahaha subscribed just for that line
Awsome Man❤
Fantastic video I absolutely love this game and you explained the story so well!!! The Evil Within definitely deserves more love!!
Damn, been a while since I see this. My ex and I used to watch play throughs together and I remember being obsessed with Leslie 😭😭😭 he really liked this game a lot
Evil within my favourite horror game no doubt
I have the og xbox one I bought within release season (helps to work in a box store) and it still runs and I have both games. Theyre goood games, i recommend.
love how the game somehow explained the silent hill esque metaphysical stuff happening in this game.
yup it was basically an organic VR that went crazy
Matrix or the Cell
Fantastic timing, I just beat this game for the first time today, and I came looking for a good video.. was stoked to see you had done one. Thanks a ton for this man. Such an interesting game. I need to play the DLCs now for sure.
Honestly I really wanted to see Leslie again I was so disappointed when I played 2 and he wasn’t even mentioned because at the end of 1 you see him walking out the hospital like we are gonna see him again and has an unfinished story but no nothing of him In the second game
The first video game that got me into video games...❤
You good sir create some amazing content!! I’ve been hooked to your lore & order series 🤩😂😤🙏🏽🙆🏽♂️😁 WOOOOT
I kinda realized that the long haired monster is a projection of Ruviks sister, Laura, but i just now put it together the why she is weak to fire... Because that's how his real sister died ... Damn
I just finished playing this game for my channel and it was amazing. I liked learning about the charachters lore and im glad you did this video 👍👍
I love your videos man, you know your subject, you explain well, and you're creative in the art of fear, the music which plays on your videos, the sound effects, the cuts I can tell you mastered it as I work music and sound design a lot, and a bit of video making.
So underrated this game 🎮 I wish they would make a 3 😢
Evil within 3. Wireless stem reactivates pulls krimson city entire population into its hellscape. Ruvik reappears starts taking over. Joseph is also a villain because of trauma caused by tew1. Sebastion kills both of them fights stem itself beats but is now stuck inside void. It all turns out he was a patient in beacon all along after his daughters death. The past games has been him falling into a delusion as a way to cope with his daughters death and his wife's disappearance(leaving him) with stem being a attempt to heal him only for his trauma to cause it to malfunction
Honestly I really wanted to see Leslie again I was so disappointed when I played 2 and he wasn’t even mentioned because at the end of 1 you see him walking out the hospital like we are gonna see him again and has an unfinished story but no nothing of him I’m the second game
@@Poisonedwight yea and even without a passing mention like joseph being alive
Please do the same for Evil Within 2, this is my favorite saga ever, I think the first Evil Within was just so perfect, we can feel the gameplay mechanics and the story of the game was perfectly polished, and the ambiance is very intense, even safe zones made me sweaty some times
Looking forward to seeing the vid on the second one! You break these down really well
I rlly loved both tbh great game
You explained everything very well. Great video
These games gave me nightmares the monsters were so freaking terrifying and the environment 🥶🥶
Your content perks up my day when work gets monotonous. Thank you and keep up the good work!
Awesome! Thank you!
So technically ruviks just like obito uchiha , ruvik being burned and obito being crushed by a huge boulder ,then their lover , ruvik (laura) and obito( rin) died. Then they try to make their own imaginary world ( stem for ruvik) and infinite genjutsu for obito) where they could live a happy life with their lovers
Love these videos! Could you do the Bioshock series please! 😀
I felt like the game was a bit disjointed in the first 2 chapters, but as soon as all of the story elements started falling into place more clearly I fell in love with the game. It feels like the curve to get adjusted to the games combat and story is a bit steep, bit once you're over it it's so much fun. Every little note, new piece of dialogue etc was so intriguing.
After chapter 9(ish?) When Marcello reveals the group is in a shared consciousness, with everyone's shared memories warped and combined under Ruviks control, I just fell in love with the game completely. What a cool twist for an "alternative reality" plot line!
It did feel a bit jarring towards the latter end of the game when it switches from the rural environments to the more urban areas (the hospital, city etc) but still fun. I also enjoyed the mixed storyline of Sebastians missing wife and daughter alongside the overarching plot. The monsters were amazingly designed. My absolutely favourite has to be the sister/spider monster. The fact that you fight her prior to learning about her and then afterwards it feels like a eureka moment! The long hair, the fire weakness, it was so cool.
Even when I struggled with the game it never frustrated me to the point where I didn't enjoy the experience anymore, personally I felt the "challenge" of the areas and enemies to be moderately mixed and nothing felt far too difficult or far too easy.
My only gripe is that after the 10th or 11th chapter the plot just gets slightly too messy. When they introduce the Kidman shooting Leslie thing it just added another side plot when things were already kind of full. I feel like they were trying for a "gotcha!" Moment but it didn't do that, it just felt a bit confusing because you then had to consider if a 3rd party was involved in this whole thing.
And one final note, absolutely loved the nurse in the safe haven. I genuinely loved the mirror teleportation and the idea of a safe room with a unrelated character who helps you buff your skills or unlock items. Really cool mechanic for a game of this nature, I'm not sure if a traditional shop keeper would've fit the tone !
nice job :)
OMG I have been watching you for so long and just noticed I wasn’t subscribed. New Subscriber. sorry, you were always in my feed I didn’t know. Keep up the good work.
How they got into Stem always confused me for a while
Happy to see more of these lore videos.
Good shit, please keep making these types of videos. Especially for horror games that aren't super mainstream.
The Aspects that ruined my Evil Within 2 experience was the constant shifting in the story.
Like, we're contrasting between a crazy artist, a religious fanatic and Sebastian's milky wife.
One moment you're in a town chasing Stefano than you're suddenly trying to kill a priest which derails the plot because we go from fighting Stefano to fighting Lava guys.
Another thing that pissed me off was the passiveness of the MOBIUS team - ''Alpha Team''. Helping the MOBIUS team members felt like filler content rather than contributing to the progress of the story. You have to take a quest from Julius in exchange for resources when logically you should get that shit for free. You wanna leave too don't you?
At least we meet a cool chick named Torres who does take action but unfortunately dies because we *shoot her by accident....* this game sucks. the only interesting parts was the confrontation with obscura (camera creature) and Anima (ghost lady)
I hated it when Torres died.
@@GamingHarryYT Yeah. Only character that actually felt like a friend.
it's c*m(with the u) wife and also yes the developer of ew2 is the same guy who made the ew1 dlc who couldn't care less for survival horror and tension in general. Legit i could have made a better game then this white boy who thinks sneaking and one shotting every enemy is good game design.
Truth. Torres' death was total bullshit same with yukiko, I also really like yukiko tho, her and Torres were 100 times more interesting than liam and sykes and they felt like actual friends and they seemed to have felt bad for u and you could tell them more about the situation you were in, we didn't get any information about Joseph but I assume that plays into the plot of the next game hopefully...
one thing i found funny about the game was that Sabastian can get injured badly then walk it off but then the end fight shows him being thrown arounds like he is superman and get impaled then second later he is walking around like nothing happened i bet he has a Deadpool level healing factor
Great game and a classic
Let's gooo!! Another great video my friend, keep it up!
Finally some one giving this game its due credit ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The first game is always the best one. I was deeply disappointed with the sequel.
Loved the first game. Hated the sequel.
I made the most out the sequel but the first one was wayyy better
@@tylercouture216 Yesss the first game wasn’t perfect but it was much better and had more replay value than the second game imo. The second game was just… very disappointing as a sequel and everything felt too safe and generic. Simply put it was just a forgettable experience.
amen brother
@@windtacht1480 the chainsaw girl was forgettable?
the camera monster was forgettable?
the creepy ghost roaming aroudn the one random house?
@@Celatra the 1st one is more memorable and more unsettling
I think The Evil Within 3 will never happen, because they forcibly concluded Seb’s story in The Evil Within 2(such a terrible sequel).
Now Seb doesn’t remember Ruvik and Joseph means nothing to him. His character totally depends on his daughter now because the devs now think video game male protagonist should be a sad dad(and nothing else). It’s sad to see Seb’s character and potential getting destroyed in such a way, but I had a really good time playing The Evil Within 1 and waiting for the sequel. I’m still grateful for that.
The Silent Hill 2 effect lol
The first one was way better than 2.
Well atleast we got to finally kill the Sadist in the second one, hated that guy
Bruh that first ad break was timed so perfectly it was like I was watching tv
18:00 This is the only part of the story that I don't understand; If Mobius had an injection that could give people the ability to resist the effects of Ruvik's influence, why didnt they give it to everybody instead of just Kidd? Wouldn't that have made achieving their goal a lot easier?
Great explanation of the game, I thoroughly enjoyed it. When is part two (Evil Within 2) coming?
It’s already out, since many months. On g2a is around 7$ it’s not expensive

joseph oda, my raps are on fire like lora
Thanks for the vid mate, story got me hooked immediately! 😂
Had me coming from the 1899 breakdown by Heavy Spoilers comment section, speaking of connections 🎉
Oh my goodness yes someone is finally covering this!! 👍👍👍 :D
When they arrive at the hospital at beginning of the game the 3 are already connected to the STEM.
Does ruvik just have powers? So hes able to follow them and pull them into stem. is it just a mental thing they get pulled into?
nevermind hes in the tub connected but how did he get there?
The second I got healed and able to kick some ass. I was hooked! Incredible game and story 👏
The gameplay never captivated me enough to play past the first hour of the game. Thanks for the breakdown cause I would have never played the game (or watched someone play it) to know!
Nice vid! Thumbs up!
Been looking forward to this video!!!
Awesome lore explained vid!
what version of the game is this? I've never seen this gameplay at all
Wow very impressive! I love The Evil Within and I'm still discovering new stuff about it. Can't wait for your Lore explanation for the 2nd one!!
I like this games atmosphere, plot more than just about all the resident evil games.
Finally someone explained it I have played the game but didn't fully understand and what was going on
It's like a evil matrix good video man
wow, fantastic explanation, I got to say I loved the first one, but I didn't understand this whole intricate story..now I downloaded TEW2 on Steam and I am good to go
This animus is less glitchy
It looks so good in 60fps! Huge difference
The plot of this game is batshit insane. Jesus.
And that's why so many people love it. Batshit insane plot for batshit insane villain.
Is that... Sir Anthony Hopkins?
Really wish they would bring a 3rd game out i loved the series. The first 1 more then the 2nd but the 2nd was still good. Will they make a 3rd?
Sadly it seems not
there's been some speculations, plus ghost wire tokyo was initially gonna be the evil within 3
:)
amazing game
One crucial detail he forgot to mention which ties the story better is that the cult that julis village was involved in was the victorianos’ since they owned the church, and they would essentially kidnap people from the village and animals. The villagers then became fed up and burned the farm in retaliation. Also one of the people kidnapped from the village were the twins which end up being bosses in the church area, they were infants kidnapped and experimented on hence having them in stem as their deformed and crazy looking counterparts with one being named zehn. All of the enemies in game also represent the people in there which change things in the world of stem but ruvik is the one with the authority, for instance the base haunted you see throughout the whole game are just normal people ruvik experimented on but became monsters due to how long of an exposure they had to being inside. The enemy towards the end of the game on the cross is an embodiment of his families religion and pretty much is ruviks vision of rebirth. The sadist, is a serial killer whom was put in there. The invisible boss is symbolism for ruviks desire to stay in the shadows hidden and picking his prey. So I don’t know if this is a plot hole but pretty much juli and ruvik the whole time were close to each other in terms of where they lived, and it’s strange this doesn’t get brought up. Also another plot hole is that the art book never mentioned Sebastian had a dead daughter, only a missing wife, so they definitely added that late into development. Also one more fact, the enemies with the two faces or heads that appear near the box heads area are the real life versions of people and their stem versions colliding. The box head is Ruben’s desire to keep his secret safe, and the spider boss towards the end is a person in stem that didn’t get properly put in and in the process of becoming a haunted became something more, due to maybe more exposure than the others? Also he forgot to mention that ruvik controls everything literally everything, to the point that the mobius agent that haunted Juli wasn’t actually even there and ruvik just used that to keep her in fear, pretty much if you have been in stem before you have the mobius mark in your hand (the one Kidman has) meaning if you have that you’ve been in stem before and ruvik can place you in his world, so another little plot hole would be if Myra at the end has a mark meaning ruvik could have created her in stem why didn’t he? He could have used her to play against Sebastian’s fears and torment him with her.
Something worth considering is that The Evil Within was originally intended to be set in Spain in the 20th century, which to me reads as a prequel to RE4. The huge amount of Spanish names, the really odd feudal relationship between the villagers and the aristocrats, the distinctly medieval architecture, the technology and mental health standards largely being early 20th century at best...it's more interesting to me to see this as an exploration into the backstory of Los Illuminados, the Salazar clan, and how STEM was a prototype attempt at a hive mind prior to the rediscovery of Las Plagas.
The cult may be connected to theodore Wallace from the sequel since that symbol and the fire come up when he takes over stem.
I'm pretty sure the cult is 'the evil within' Mobius and that Wallace's backstory would have clarified that a lot more had they not clearly rushed and cut much of the game once they introduced Wallace. The Mu cult is basically Los Illuminados, an ancient and gigantic conspiracy which used Mobius as a front and likely has other contingencies if Mobius failed. It's likely that Ruvik might have become so cynical about humanity partly because he witnessed the atrocities the cult was able to convince the villagers and his father to commit - as far as he was concerned, he was just repaying evil upon evil.
I suspect that Ruvik had a direct hand in the takedown of Mobius in TEW2, which makes the intentional avoidance of him feel all the more suspicious. Like maybe he had been secretly working a deal with Kidman and Joseph to take down Mobius (so he can steal their STEM assets), and Kidman deliberately avoided mentioning him because Sebastian already didn't trust her.
Evil Within 3 might be about tracking down Ruvik as he plunges the world into his own wireless STEM network as a twisted way to 'save' them from the cult. I can see him in a healthier Leslie's body playing up the 'dark messiah' aesthetic.
Thanks for this breakdown. Can't wait for the next part
