Are Amnesia players adults or teens?

[Bridge]

I think the reason some adults might not be scared by Amnesia is because they're not used to playing FPS games, so that the controls become a barrier between them and the game. Since a sense of presence is created by an uninterrupted flow of information and feedback between the player and the game, their lack of fluency in FPS controls prevents them from immersing themselves and getting scared.

When I made my uncle play Amnesia, he was quite clumsy at first and sometimes during fast-paced moments he got confused because he simply wasn't sure what was going on. But eventually he got into it and started feeling 'em shivers.

when i gave my cousin 20 year old cousin to play this, she spent more time asking how to open door, move around... instead of focusing on the game. Yeah, she didn't know that you move with WASD in games because she doesnt play them. So..yeah.. clumsines is bad for immersion

Anybody who can't figure out how the controls in Amnesia work (which are as minimalistic as you get) is retarded. Sorry, but it's true. It has nothing to do with tech savvy, but the basic skills all mature human beings have: the ability to manipulate muscles and joints, functional memory and the ability to react to visual and aural stimuli. Even a child could master the controls after only playing the "tutorial".
