Recently started playing Amnesia: The Dark Descent as sort of a family game you could say, where us teens would huddle up in the living room at 1 am to play. I'm the one in control of the kb+m whilst the others are there so I don't piss my pants or shit them either for directions.
We've barely progressed through the game from what I can tell (we just "burnt" down the organic mass blocking the way to the refinery) but I can assure you to those who haven't played it, the atmosphere is perfect. I've played the previous titles from Frictional Games (Penumbra series) and Amnesia carries on the pant soiling, cower-in-the-corner gameplay and atmosphere. Oh and we had our first monster encounter. Daniel almost lost his sanity (as marked by "..." in the description box) and we almost did too.

So the game was meh. Just scary sound, running away and exploring.
Lots of respect for Frictional, they're doing way more for the genre than the typical grotesque monster shoot-a-thon.
It has similar stile to lots of games.
Its like when i played Dead Space for the first time, instant reminder of Doom 3 organic growth.
Guess im more of an action lover than exploration adventure, that is horror type exploration adventure.
