About
BioShock Infinite: Burial at Sea - Episode 2 is the second part of the story-driven downloadable content of BioShock Infinite. The story puts the player in the role of Elizabeth, as she explores Rapture during the start of its fall. This DLC prominently features stealth-style gameplay and elements of survival horror, in contrast to the more action-driven approach and glamorized setting of the first episode.
Elizabeth basks in Paris at the turn of the 20th century. However, she unexpectedly spots Sally and gives chase. As she pursues her, Elizabeth's idealized vision of the French city turns nightmarish. Her memories of Columbia, Comstock, and Sally continue to haunt her.
