They have a small debate on how she died, until Lynn decides to reshoot. Lynn stated she hasn't talked about her in ages, then tells Blake that they should start making an intro for their piece on Jane Doe. Blake tells Lynn he was dreaming of Jessica Gray, a student they knew from childhood. They are in a helicopter and are inbound to a location where the duo wants to investigate. Blake is awakened by his wife, Lynn, who says he was screaming some other woman's name in his sleep. The story begins with a voice calling out to Blake and then screaming. His main goal is to find Lynn and escape alive from the hostile villagers. Later, Blake realizes that he's been stranded in a village with cult members that believe the end of times are upon them. Blake wakes up sometime later, with Lynn nowhere in sight. Due to the desert climate and the region being inaccessible by land vehicles, the two take a chopper to reach their destination, which ends up crashing from unknown complications. The woman was previously found eight months pregnant by the side of the road, before committing suicide in the hospital that she was brought to, according to the facility's records. Blake Langermann, a cameraman, with his wife Lynn, travel to southern Arizona to investigate the murder of a Jane Doe. According to the developers, the main setting takes place in a secluded village, located somewhere in the canyons of Arizona. Murkoff is also scheduled to make their appearance. The game takes place in the same universe as Outlast, after the events of the Mount Massive Asylum Slaughter. Restarting or dying will reset the player back to the start. In addition to Nightmare's added challenges, Insane mode requires the player to complete the game in a single run without dying. Batteries are scarce, enemies are more vigilant and relentless at their pursuit of the player, inspecting hiding spots and dealing more damage, some resulting in one hit kills. Hard and Nightmare difficulties are a step up from the standard mode. Some chase sequences and encounters are either toned down or have been removed all together. Story Mode is a cut down version of the standard difficulty with slower, less observant enemies that deal less damage to the player, offering more breathing room for immersion and exploration.
