Read The Instruction Manual (it actually has one)
The Evil Within Tips
What may come as a surprise to most is that The Evil Within actually comes with an instruction manual. This is something that has become extremely rare in recent years, with a heavy push towards digital guides. While its inclusion is a bit of a miracle, it will prove to be a quite necessary one.
As you play through The Evil Within, there are tutorials for the first time you come across each mechanic. Unfortunately, the necessary information sometimes pops up much too late, and you’ve already met a gruesome fate. In order to avoid any headaches and unfortunate restarts, just do yourself a favor and read through the manual first.
It contains the same detailed information that you will come across in the game. Having it at your disposal prior to starting the game provides the benefit of both knowledge and the ability to disable those pesky in game tutorials. There is nothing like falling into a steady pace only to have some window pop up on your screen to ruin the immersion.
