Our take on Epstein 2
The single-player mystery structure concentrates the experience on one investigation, but gives up cooperative play and the group dynamics found in multiplayer survival games.
What is Epstein 2?
Epstein 2 is a single-player psychological horror adventure following Michael as he searches for his missing mother on a secret island.
The investigation takes him through a mansion, tunnels, a hospital, and a prison while he gathers notes, equipment, and clues about human experiments. Collected items support investigation and survival: batteries can replace a camera’s depleted power source, a lighter can be combined with a candle, and a kerosene lamp can be filled with gasoline. Creatures may be killed with a headshot when Michael has suitable equipment. Without the necessary gear, survival depends on running and hiding. The game combines mystery-solving, item collection, puzzles, frightening encounters, and a story about uncovering the island’s hidden activities.
