Our take on Still Life 2
The two-character structure adds contrasting viewpoints, but it also divides the experience between investigation and survival rather than developing one uninterrupted gameplay style. Players looking for a tightly focused detective format may find the alternation a constraint.
What is Still Life 2?
Still Life 2 continues the investigation into the East Coast Torturer and follows FBI agent Victoria McPherson after a woman's body is found in Maine.
Journalist Paloma Hernandez is soon abducted by the killer, linking her fate to Victoria's pursuit. The game uses two playable protagonists: Paloma, who must survive while being hunted, and Victoria, who follows the investigation. Players can switch between their viewpoints and alternate between survival-focused sequences and detective work. The story serves as the conclusion to the events begun in Still Life, with both characters connected by the same case and threat.
