The player is equipped with an inventory system displaying the amount of footage recorded on the camera and the items they are carrying. Compared to the first game, Langermann's status as a cameraman means he carries a more advanced camera, one with clearer footage, zoom, and a sensitive microphone that can be used to detect distant footsteps and other noises.

He has a limited stamina meter and the player must manage how long he runs, lest he becomes exhausted and move more slowly.

Eddie’s section is great horror.Outlast 2 (stylized as OU⸸LASTII) is a first-person survival horror video game developed and published by Red Barrels. You’re called a slut, a whore, by a (for Outlast standards) nice looking man in a suit with an appealing voice. Waylon is hobbled, and pursued by a man who wants to do horrible things to him, use him as an incubator for his seed. It’s so satisfying to watch reactions to Eddie’s segments in the game because he makes men uncomfortable. The character that flips the table and instills in men the same fear that most women have with abusive men. kind of weak but also kind of scary because there’s this lingering tension that he could come back and continue his chase. You encounter him a few times then he goes away. The DLC kind of has a similar feel, there’s Frank, the cannibal who serves as the first real threat and blood-pumper. They’re effective and don’t overstay their welcome. There’s Trager, who had a short amount of screen time, but is bursting with personality and has quite a few notes and documents to really indicate who he was as a person. With the base game, you have characters like Chris Walker, the constant threat that follows you everywhere and who you have a few really intense encounters with who dies in a spectacular way to showcase an even bigger immediate threat to your safety, the Walrider.
