Uncover Blake’s personal thoughts and learn more about the nightmarish cults (yes, there’s more than one) in Outlast 2 with all the recordings and notes found on Chapter 1: Genesis.
There are two types of collectibles in Outlast 2 — video footage and notes. Both appear in the “Recordings” folder on your camera, as Blake helpfully snaps shots or records events as they occur in-game. Both provide extra insight into the mysteries of the Temple Gate community.
The “footage” is the most fun to find. Whenever Blake finds something particularly interested in the environment, or watches a scary event unfold, you’ll begin recording. Watch for the red circle to fill, then check your camera database to rewatch and hear Blake’s thoughts.
