An ink style drawing of the main cast of The Evil Within. Dead center is a close-up of Leslie and Ruvik; they are drawn so that they blend into each other. Framing them is Sebastian who is holding is revolver in his right hand, the only arm that is visible in the deep hatching that dominates the piece. To the left is Juli who is pointing her gun at the viewer with a surprised and pained expression. To the right is Joseph, who is clutching his chest and bleeding from his nose. All of them are cast in a bright light with deep shadows while looking directly at the viewer.
Do you still dream of escape?
So near at hand?
