Amnesia for me?

[Mudbill]

If you've never watched a horror movie or played any horror games, beware that Amnesia is one of THE most scary games. Of course this depends on opinion, but generally Amnesia has gotten it's reputation for a reason. It's not like a shooter game with adrenaline-type fright. It's more actually terrifying. It can get very intense.

Some of the key points that make Amnesia rated as such a scare game include the fact that you can not fight back enemies, the music and atmosphere will sink you into the environment and the story is rather disturbing. Of course I recommend this game if you want to get scared, but it's obviously not for everyone.

As for let's plays, I have mixed opinions. Sometimes it can be very distracting, yes, but that depends on how much you are really trying to engage the audience instead of yourself. It is possible to play the game as if you aren't recording, which usually gives off better impressions. But yeah, it's probably best to do on your own so you won't miss important aspects, although it depends on each person.

PS: Games like Skyrim are rated M / 18+ because they have to be. Violence is like that. This, however, is not necessarily just violence. It's actual fear which many younger people deal poorly with. Tread carefully if you wish to play it. If you feel like you can, then sure; I'd recommend it.
