No safe place at all?

[cantremember]

I would take that "Safe? safe?..." statement with a pinch of salt. I'm pretty sure there will be places where you can just stand still forever.

That said there were too many safe places in Amnesia TDD. The first time I played each part was scary because I heard monster noises which I tought were nearby, then the hint pops up saying "Hide in darkness to be safe from monsters" and I was in constant agony/anticipation to run into a monster.

When I play it again, monsters appearing & leaving si very predictable with the music cues. Most of the monsters in the first hub are just noises and appearances who can't kill you, the game only really starts with the water monster after the refinery and the rest is just like a haunted castle at Disneyland to me now.

So for AAFP, scary noises should be real danger, and make you creep forward slowly, peeking around corners to try to see where the monster is before he sees you. Instead of the "instant spawning" of TTD when you reach a spot.

That's my 2 cents on danger.
