Outlast 2 teaser

[Yuhaney]

Are they that cliché? They're not really a common thing for me, so I don't know.
Perhaps I don't watch enough movies.

In my opinion Pentagram/Baphomet is more cliché than the Cross of St. Peter. If you watch any horror movies or listen to sub-genres of metal music regularly, you usually see at least one of the Christian themed symbols: Cross of St. Peter (upside down cross), 666, Pentagram, Baphomet and Sheep and/or Goat. Most of them are so used in fact that they have lost a lot of their magic as both a horror and a shock element.

Hmm... Wikipedia says it is used as an anti-christian symbol.

What is an anti-christ? Everyone who's evil?

Had to do a bit of research because I wasn't really sure, but based on my limited knowledge I'll try to answer as I understand it.

1) Antichrist and Anti-Christian are two different things. Anti-Christian means an individual/group simply going against Christianity as religion and faith, therefore it can be used as such.
2) Antichrist on the other hand is bigger, more wider thing that differs from religion to religion and faith to faith. But in general many Christians seem to consider that an A(a)ntichrist(s) is/are someone or something going against Jesus before his second coming. Also those being part of it are trying to conquer the entire world before the end comes.

666 is also somewhat interesting concept and symbol in the Bible. Some consider it to be a math problem that leads to Nero, and therefore he must be part of the Antichrist. That I learned long ago while I was going through random YouTube videos:

I guess they see Christ as a bad figure, and they may have their reasons for it.

I am guessing that Outlast II will be having some indoctrinated death cult members or other extremists as the enemies.
