Blake Langermann

Blake Langermann is the protagonist of Outlast 2,

Physical description

Blake is a young adult man of fairly normal or average build. He is not particularly muscular or imposing, which reinforces the idea that he is an ordinary person caught in an extreme situation.

Height: average

Build: slim to average

Hair: dark brown, short and somewhat messy

Face: soft, not very defined features; a tired appearance as the story progresses

Eyes: brown)

Clothing: He wears a simple gray t-shirt, over which is a dark green jacket with the sleeves rolled up, slightly torn from the helicopter crash. He wears dark cargo pants, and black calf-high boots, and always wears magnifying glasses; without them he cannot see.

An important detail is his body language: unlike a "hero" character, Blake looks vulnerable, he crouches, trembles, breathes heavily... all of that makes him more realistic.

Mental/psychological description

This is where the character really shines.

He has a rather sensitive and empathetic character; he is neither cold nor calculating.

He is deeply emotionally attached to his wife (Lynn).

Under pressure

Throughout the game, Blake suffers severe psychological deterioration:

Constant anxiety: easily frightened, has difficulty breathing, panics.

Confusion and disorientation: not always distinguishing between what is real and what is hallucinating.

Repressed trauma: He relives memories from his childhood (especially related to Jessica), which greatly influence his mental state.

Guilt: He carries feelings of guilt that weaken him emotionally.

Key features

He is not a fighter → his instinct is to flee, hide and survive.
