Good man! My palms are sweaty and I didn't enjoy my steak dinner because of this game haha. Getting used to the fear now, but it's still a bitch. Learning to find my friend in the darkness!!!!

And to the guy who asked, yes you get chased by zombies that are really fast once they see you haha, you can actually see them they are proper zombies. You can't kill them tho, and they kill u in 2 slashes.

RE5 wasn't scary in the slightest.
try RE1/2 or Silent Hill 1/2
THATS THE STUFF!

@ Amnesia ...
I don't like whats being shown in the trailer ...
Either the scenes have a ton of solutions (would be great, but i somehow doubt that) or it would be extremely trial&error'ish. I am guessing the latter which really turns me off in a game.

Thats fucking hilarious lol. Here's a short clip of hotshotGG (famous League of Legends player/streamer) playing amnesia. I'm pretty sure he hates the flipping game but he does it for his viewers every once in a while

Holy cow, I went to my friend's place and ended up trying Amnesia out because his comp can actually run it.

What a sick game. I basically saw various reviews/videos of Amnesia prior to playing so I knew the first hour and half of the game so I let my friend play past the water part and I took over after that. The atmosphere/sound is just perfectly done to scare the absolute bejezus out of you. When I saw videos of people playing the game and freaking out about the zombie (I mean it's just a auto attacking zombie) I was wondering why they were so flipped out about it but when you play the game in a dark room with headphones cranked up, it's scary

Only quibble I have about the game is that some of the stuff that you have to do isn't really obvious. My friend and I was stuck at the beginning for like 30 minutes around trying to figure out what to do before we had to resort to gamefaqs to find out that we had to use the lab and we spent another 15-30 minutes wandering around and backtracking only to find out that there was a hidden hole in the wall being covered by boxes (and the game being 99% is pitch dark without the lantern doesn't help either). I mean my friend was playing the game and we had like 3-4 other people in the room watching him play, helping him spot tinderboxes/oil/other stuff that he might miss and we all didn't see the stupid hole.

This might be more of a complaint against the genre though, I could never play Resident evil/silent hill games because I always miss something and I hate using guides/gamefaqs.

I can never play these games. It looks pretty cool, but I get startled really easy and start mad jerking around. I couldn't even get past 4 levels of doom 3. My instinctual fear of the dark stresses me out too much as well, haha. My imagination's probably a few touches too active for my own good. And when I'm helpless in a game, that is the worst feeling ever. In doom 3 it was getting caught with your flashlight out instead of a gun, and in amnesia you don't even have a weapon, plus messing with your mind is scary (the fallout vault where you saw stuff was bad too). Not for me, however, I will watch and enjoy other people getting scared playing the game.

EDIT: Holy shit, that WTF video is hilarious! And the guy who says "Oh shit, I've got a bag of milky ways!" sounds totally like Seth Rogan.

You owe it to yourself to buy this game. This is insanely good. It's by the same people who made the Penumbra series, which is also something you need to buy.

Also, in the very beginning the game recommends you play it with headphones on for the sound. LISTEN TO THEM, they know what they're talking about, it really makes it intense.

Thinking about buying. I just hate the darkness, not because its scary but because it kinda makes the game harder because you dont see much

Is there any chance that this game will ever be ported to the ps3 or psn? I'm not really into FPS but I'm really into console games that deliver some sort of visceral experience. Like re4. This is probably way scarier however since you're completely helpless. I reallllyyy want this game. But I wouldn't play it on the pc.

If you are going to play this game then do so at night with all your lights turned off. Use a headset with the volume rather high and try not to rush through the game. Read all the notes and follow the story. You will probably have to take breaks regularly to remain sane though

I got this game today and have played it for 3 hours so far and I love it.

Am I the only one who felt like this game wasn't as scary as the classics of this genre, ie. the first Clocktower?

Edit:
I just felt like the enemy AI was too stupid compared to the golden standards of the escape puzzles :/

This guy's got the right idea. At the very beginning of the game they give you a few suggestions on how to get the ideal experience, follow them it really does wonders.
