But while this action sequence is a direct tribute to Mikami’s earlier work, The Evil Within as a whole appears more than a Resi throwback. After the battle, Sebastien is running through a forest path, with every door into a cabin spitting him back outside, until one unleashes a river of blood that comes thundering towards the screen... And then we’re back in the sterile corridors of the mental hospital. A grate falls, and creeping out of it comes a grotesque feminine figure with eight limbs, long black hair obscuring its head, stalking, stalking... and then the demo ends.
