Evil Nun 2: Origins

About Evil Nun 2: Origins

Evil Nun 2: Origins is the sequel to Keplerians' Evil Nun, released on the App Store in December 2020 and also on Google Play. Sister Madeline is back, and this time the game also tells something of her past: one of its story scenes shows her meeting a masked ice cream man on a street outside the school.

It plays in first person on touch controls. The school is bigger than before, with more rooms and secret places, from a chapel with a red carpet to a big hall with a staircase and classrooms. You explore it, solve puzzles and gather what you need to escape, while staying silent: the store warns that Madeline and her monsters will hear you. The monsters are new, pale creatures with bird-like heads and rows of teeth, and the store's advice is to run whenever you see one.

Unlike the first game, you can also fight back a little. You craft weapons from plans you find, and traps that hold the monsters, though hiding is still described as the key to survival. The store warns that it is not a game for young children and that it will make you jump.

Compared with Evil Nun, it adds the monsters, crafting and a larger map to the same hide-and-escape idea. It suits players who finished the first game and want more of Sister Madeline and her school.

How to play Evil Nun 2: Origins

1. Start the game and explore the school quietly, listening for Sister Madeline and her monsters.
2. Search the rooms for items, plans and clues.
3. Solve the puzzles that open locked areas and the way out.
4. Craft weapons and traps from what you find to defend yourself.
5. Hide or run whenever Madeline or a monster sees you, and escape the school.

Tips

• Move slowly and avoid dropping things: noise is what brings Madeline and the monsters.
• When a monster sees you, run first and hide after, as the store advises.
• Keep the plans you find; they show what you can craft.
• Play with headphones so you hear where the threats are.
