It looks interesting but reminds me A LOT of a movie called Grave Encounters (a knock-off horror movie VERY similar to the TV series Ghost Adventures...) and it just seems really cliche. "Go into an abandoned asylum. Crazy patients trying to go after you." I admire the detail that went into it but graphics =/= gameplay. I would not call it the "next amnesia", but it does have similar qualities. It's just a shame it seems so cliche. Not to mention the music makes it feel more "action" packed like an Alien Movie than a horror game. Really wish they'd have different "monsters" than that as well... Humans aren't really scary. It's the unknown that's scary. Any horror-enthusiast knows this!

If it's cheap enough, I'd give it a shot, but in my opinion, it's not quite impressive enough to get me excited. Simply sticking "The next Amnesia" in there isn't enough to get me interested.

What Nackidno said. I like Penumbra's atmosphere and story more than Amnesia, but Amnesia was much better in regards to gameplay mechanics (moving, looking, interaction, etc) and I felt more scared playing Amnesia than Penumbra. It's a mix between the two for me. They both have their pros and cons.

Exactly for both posts by Statyk. I couldn't agree more!
