That's because your mind isn't developed enough to understand true fear.

Yeah, that's exactly his point, you didn't even try to immerse yourself in a game that pretty much relies on you immersing yourself for it to work so you can't expect it to be scary.

Playing Amnesia will probably give a lot of people the scariest experiences in their lives. Not because they're the most dangerous ones, or even the most vivid ones, but the way it's pulling you into it is exactly the opposite of what the brain can handle. It makes your brain believe that what is happening is actually real - not because you're dumb, but because the brain takes no risks. So, if Amnesia doesn't scare you at all, I would say you have some serious problems.

I agree. Either they are faking or are just incapable of being afraid. It has nothing to with how "developed" the mind is. In fact, a general rule of thumb is that the younger you are the more likely you are to be affected by the stress the game puts you under.

Also, how can anyone not "understand true fear"? You think fear is something you acquire by playing video games and having a fully developed brain? It's a basic human function. Everybody understands it.

I think he meant that you have to immerse yourself when playing a horror game like Amnesia, to "understand true fear"

To achieve what this fella did, just play in a "bright as the sun" room, make sure volume's at 0%, play from an iPhone, and there you are.

Either way, immersion is the key. If others wouldn't be immersed, they probably wouldn't be scared. But they were scared, which implies that they were, in fact, immersed.
