A map that has 100 doors everytime you open it the room is dark and there is a door that you must choose if you choose it wisely then you'll be free if not then perish and no one will remember your history nor your presence
What about this?

What I think would be much more horror:
For example - the prison, monster spawns and does not despawn until you leave the are for the next level, it patrols, always searches you and you have always the feeling or fear of it coming around the next corner

While Amnesia's frightening effect is a great factor of the game, I think the thing that made it best was how deep the story went and how it focused on both fright AND story. Just saiyan.

I know only about half of you will agree, but i actually do think more jump scares and monsters would be scarrier. If you think about it, it's the monsters that make things scary. Amnesia is a great horror game, but when you don't see the monster sometimes, you're like "boring," how do I know there even IS a monster to be scared of. We need to see more monster types you know. Also there should be some larger monsters. Small monsters aren't as scary because it's like "I could take him out if I wanted to"

No. Not at all. Never. Not true. Not true one bit. Not in a million years will that ever be true.

Which part? Do you at least agree that a few LARGER monsters would be scarrier? Or that we should be able to see the monster without it distorting the screen?
