RE: All Amnesia demo discussion HERE

If there's one other thing I would say, it's that running out of lamp oil is sort of as much annoying as it is scary. It's not a problem so much in the quieter sections and at those times it definitely IS scary and adds to the atmosphere, but for parts like the section with the water-creature, you sort of need it to be able to actually navigate properly and quickly - unless you turn the gamma up enough to be able to see - which sort of takes away the fear from darkness in the first place.

Perhaps these more hight pressure moments should be better lit? I'm not talking floodlighting of course, just enough to at least be able to see where doors are and which way the corridor is turning.

I can get past the first gate in the water without dying - if I'm lucky. But throwing a chunk of corpse in the water doesn't seem to distract it long enough for me to get the gate open. Then I die, then I come back with no lamp oil because I used it all in my first attempt - only to find the monster isn't there - until it smashes through the door I'm intending to leave through.

I still think it's a great demo and I can't wait to play the full game, but I just think the water-sections - or that water-section anyway, possibly should have been lit a bit better. I don't feel it can be doing my eyes much good when I'm trying to see the gate, the valve, the position of the boxes and the monster etc in darkness.

Anyhow, that rant made it sound as though I hated it, but I didn't, actually I loved it, and possibly the water section won't feel like such an issue when I've got the whole rest of the game to go through! Until then, I'll be more than happy to keep playing the demo!

Wow - what a mansion!
