Has anybody else tried Amnesia?
I started playing it a few days ago. Honestly I've never been more scared in my life. Holy shit. FEAR ain't got nothing on this.
The story is very interesting, however I'm progressing through it at a really slow pace since I keep shitting myself and close down the game every 15 minutes or so.
For those who have played it, what did you think?

But it is a very good game at scaring people. Livewire showed me some vid of a guy screaming like a girl. Made me lul.
They did EVERYTHING right. It makes Resident Evil feel like Halo, and F.E.A.R feel like goddamn super mario brothers. Other "horror" games ruin horror completely. Giving you guns, shitty stories, making you a goddamn superhero, killing immersion with cutscenes and location changes via level changes, blatantly unbelievable events early in the story, the list goes on.
After this, you should download the Penumbra series. It's their first few games, in a much older engine. It's essentially the same game, but unrelated story as far as I know, as Amnesia takes place about a hundred years earlier.

The atmosphere is perfect, and the amount of environmental interaction Frictional throw into their games is great.
The first time I ran into... them, in the basement area, bricks were shat.
is that how game plays? lotta hiding and escaping?
And yeah - no shooting or fighting in this game. It's purely survival (escaping and hiding) and puzzle solving.
If you haven't already you should play Penumbra Overture and Black Plague. Made by the same people and friggin awesome, although the mechanics are different from Amnesia. Darkness is not your mortal enemy in Penumbra.
I haven't played it, but I know a lot about it, honestly I've watched many videos of game-play of it and I can understand why it would be really scary to play, but ofc since I haven't experienced it myself I can't say for sure. I played Dead Space and didn't find it scary at all, don't know about this one. Not looking for an easy way to soil myself.
