Bethesda's new survival horror title, The Evil Within, has a release date set for October 14, 2014, so the creators behind Resident Evil decided to share some tips for getting through the horrifying game. Accompanied by a great new gameplay trailer, Bethesda's Fran Reyes wrote a post on the developer's official blog that is sure to come in handy while taking on this new title. (SPOILERS to follow)

Reyes spells out some really helpful hints and tips in the post, explaining that a well-prepared gamer can make it through The Evil Within relatively unscathed. Sure you're going to be scared and you're going to be attacked by terrifying creatures, but at least you can be ready and hopefully be successful!

First let's check out the aptly entitled "Every Last Bullet" gameplay trailer for The Evil Within, which has some hints and tips as well:

As you can see, there are different strategies that will help you get through the game. Let's see some more details on surviving from the blog post.

"[F]irst rule: don't count on much downtime - depends on how you'll use the cache of weapons and items at your disposal," Reyes writes. "From the standard-issue handgun Sebastian has holstered during his initial investigation to the more advanced weaponry he stumbles across, as well as the skills and abilities you'll slowly upgrade and master - there's a lot of stuff to juggle if you're going to survive The Evil Within."

Perhaps one of the biggest tips comes from the blog post as well as the video above: burn what might not be dead!

"Be it with a torch, a lit puddle of gasoline, or a match from your inventory, setting enemies on fire means they won't be getting back up after you've laid waste to them," the tips states. "Granted, you won't always need to use a match to make enemies stay dead, but until you can tell the difference, best to just make sure."
