Opinions on how TCR & FG are dealing with AAMFP criticism

[Doomed316]

I think they were aware, that the game will not fit for everyone and that there will be mixed critics. But I think it's also important for a game to try something new. With AAMFP they set the focus to another element of the game. In TDD it was the survival aspect and the fear. In AAMFP it was the story, atmosphere and the dread which set the mood.

You can read Thomas Grips opinion to AAMFP in a tweet a few weeks ago:

"Played #aamfp from start to end for first time. Started out slow and then got increasingly fucked up and awesome. Way better than expected."

This game is not for everyone. The scares went away when I got to the middle of the game and it just turned into a thriller like Allen Wake. It was okay but I am glad to support the Chinese room and frictional games
