I'm looking for help with a game-related question and I'm hoping someone here can help me out. Is Outlast 2 a sequel game? I've heard some people say it is and some say it isn't, but I'm not sure which is true. I know Outlast was released in 2013, but I'm not sure if Outlast 2 is a direct sequel or just a new game in the same universe. Does anyone have any information about this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
