The Executioner is the third official story expansion for The Evil Within, a dark survival horror by Shinji Mikami, released in 2014. It is the last free add-on for the owners of the season pass.

Just like in the previous expansions, The Executioner presents the events from another person’s perspective. This time around, though, it is one of the main protagonist’s adversaries, known only as The Keeper or Boxhead. A curious feature of this character, born in the mind of Ruvik, the main antagonist in The Evil Within, is that he has a safe where his head should be. It is a metaphor of this character’s dark past and secrets kept. The Keeper is a tall humanoid that resembles a butcher, which is also apparent thanks to his primary weapon – a huge chopper.

By letting the players assume the role of The Evil Within’s bad guy, the developers were able to turn around the playing experience. Instead of running and fighting all kinds of monsters, we become the eponymous executioner who cruely murders innocent victims. The dissimilarity of this add-on is also visible thanks to the first-person perspective, contrary to what we have seen in The Evil Within thus far.
