Game description: An experiment at a secret research facility has gone catastrophically wrong. The Pickman Project will stop at nothing to hunt you down and stop the truth from getting out. Demented screams echo around the dank Dixmor asylum that has caged you for the last six years. They took your life. Time to take it back.
The sequel to Rockstar's sinister action game about a man who wakes up in a living nightmare where he is being stalked for sport and must sneak through the shadows and kill by whatever means he can devise in order to fight his way out. The sequel picks up with a new lead character, new gangs, a new storyline with gruesome twists and turns, and much more.
