Damn thing stood behind me growling for at least a minute. Got up the courage to turn around and look at it (and, like any good tourist, take a photo!), then I tried to back away a little, further into a dark corner, but it came out of it's freaky trance and saw me

Everyone talks about this game. I assume you can die, or it wouldn't be scary. What exactly do you do? Run around, take screenshots, and try not to die?
lol, i remember my first time playing amnesia i managed to find some glitchy spots by running from the gatherers and hiding in a corner that wasn't far enough from where i was spotted. they ended up slashing at me but it'd never register a hit so the entire time i'd be facing a corner getting hit nonstop while invulnerable.
let's just say it took all my courage to turn around and watch it hit my face.

Yes you can die, what makes it scary (imo) is the tension of it being so goddamn dark and these bloody things could appear anywhere... then you've just gotta crouch down in the dark and hope they don't see you. I didn't know what the hell this one was doing behind me, and I really didn't wanna turn around and look

What makes it worse is that you can't kill the enemies, you can only run and hide or die.
Scariest game ever, but the story line is amazing.
I once hide in a corner and it just stood there waiting for so fucking long... I decided to run for it, actually managed also without any damage, they are pretty slow if you aren't looking at them, then they get really fast lol..
It was pretty much same for me as for the op, I think if you hide without any protection and just crouch and look at the corner or is in it's path it wont disappear.

I tried running from this one. Didn't quite work
I think you shouldnt turn around like you did and just look at the wall and just run! :D
A friend of mine were fighting the monster on his stream, only having a barrel between him and the monster, and had it blocked in a choke between 2 bookshelves. Wasn't on his first playthrough though, so he's sort of ok with the scary stuff X_X.
Was looking pretty sick, although I think the video of it is gone from own3d.tv

lol, so there might be something to day9's fort method?
I always want to try throwing something at them and seeing what happens, but I never seem to have anything handy...

Have only seen small parts of Day9s playthrough, but I don't think you can keep it off if it has the possibility of going around the barrel and eating your face. It was only because of the small choke. I asked my friend it's possible to find it. If I can I will post it, but I doubt it

I'm guessing it's like sentry force fields. So Protosses should have an advantage in this game right?
That happened to me too! I was just cowering in a corner and i could here it right next to me for several minutes! It wouldnt leave so eventually i turned to look at it and it killed me

This shit happened to me too :< It was standing quite far away though but I wouldn't move because I was too afraid. In the end I became totally insane and fell down on the floor shaking while listening to some really high pitched noise and then the monster left. I bet he knew I was there :V

As it is once again an Amnesia thread, I'll share my favorite playthrough to watch; its got three parts, some brit playing through it with his friends on skype, some subtitles too, pretty funny imo :D

lol, if it happens again I'm totally gonna wait til I go insane I wanna see what happens!!
Hey does anyone know, if you die and the game puts you back to somewhere, but before you died you'd just done something (in this case, melted that padlock with the acid), is that still done, or do I have to do it again? I have absolutely no idea where the game has put me, I get so lost in those damn dungeons!!

Yes, yes it is... but so is sitting in the dark waiting for it to go away
