Players again take the role of police detective Howard Loreid, who suffered from the paranormal happenings around him in the first game. Now, Howard discovers that his own horrible past is connected with the madness that is about to swallow him. Unlike its predecessor, which utilized a traditional Myst style of movement, this game uses a first-person perspective similar to that of most first-person shooters.[5][6][7][8]
