The only type of resource-management is the batteries. It's a brilliant take on the concept but that's all there really is too it and the pseudo-stealth elements aren't exactly game-changing.

The similarities with Amnesia is largely-game play based. Amnesia has the slight edge though because it has actual puzzles.

The lack of combat is a double-edge. Knowing that you can't fight implies there is a definite solution to enemies where as a game that allows you fight can be much more scarier because it will be your fault. Adding resource-management doubles that factor.
I found myself taken out of experience in Outlast when the enemy is awkwardly chopping me up because i *** up and couldn't do nothing about it. That and there is no penalty to dying but I would be surprised if The Evil Within has save points.

what I hope is that the genre evolves by taking cues form stealth genre. Amnesia and outlast are the stepping stones but they certainly aren't traditional in a gameplay sense that is typical of the genre. That itself isn't a bad thing but I played Lone Survivor
right after playing Outlast and hit me just how much I appreciate gamepaly over a thrill ride. Essentially, Outlast is The Walking Dead of the Survival-Horror genre: It precludes more intricate(or emergent) gameplay in favor of something else.
