It's trying too hard. Just play Resident Evil 7 unless you're into excessive gorn; Outlast 2 blew its load when it admitted it was trying to fit in something 'above' necrophilia. Five minutes in, skinned dude on a tree? Eh.

@EightyNine: random thought: I just can't get over how well-done the tripwires are in that game, both in placement and visuals. You can barely see them, like the real thing, but it still keeps things fair.
