I admire what this game wanted to do. Having enjoyed the first one quite a lot, I think the basic "found footage" concept could be applied to any number of settings. A haunting rural landscape overtaken by a religious cult? I'm sold. The end result was not bad, but maybe not quite as satisfying as the first installment. The story gets a little muddled when it starts diverting from the main narrative. No spoilers, but there are several interludes that are sufficiently frightening and have plenty of thematic significance, but they feel a little far afield of your overall mission. Overall it just feels like an uneven experience that could have been more streamlined like the first. But, it's got plenty of frights, thrills, and heart-pounding chases if that's what you're looking for!
