There is a line, which you should not cross, or else, you get "used" to the horror and it looses its effect.
I prefer 5 hours of pure terror more, than 10 hours of bored walking around.
How wrong it is. The Penumbra collection (yes, I see Penumbra as one game) is about 13 hours long. Silent Hill is 11 hours long for each game. Amnesia is 10 hours long. I think 5-6 hours are really too short. You can copmplete it in one single day, and you waited 2 years long!
A good horror game should be longer than 10 hours to get a long experience as possible. They could add more/trickier puzzles to let you take more time. Without enhancing the story or environments!
That's really disappointing to hear.
Why don't you see Amnesia TDD + AMFP now as one game? Now it's about 15 hours long !
They aren't continuation well Requim wasn't much of a continuation but you get my point.
Googlolplex 5-6 hours took 2 years but how much time did the entire penumbra line up take
