I played for probably 3 or 4 times longer than i normally play for, got through loads of incredibly scary parts, and really enjoyed all of it.
I found that I had a lot more courage this way and was a lot less tentative unless given a real strong reason to be. I got chased on two occasions, which were really terrifying. I was still getting scared and getting adrenalin rushes, but i seemed to have a higher tolerance to it and thus could keep going much longer.
I'll be doing this again no doubt.
This is literally the only way I can bring myself to play amnesia. you have to hit a happy medium though. Too much and every attempt at puzzle solving devolves into hitting scenery with a book.
