that Looking Glass feeling...

[CD Set]

Well, as much as I love Thief (the entire series is a long-standing favourite of mine), I never really thought of the similarities between them. I can kind of see where you got that impression though, as the dark and gloomy locales (not to mention incredibly deadly enemies) have been created in a similar vein. On the other hand, the darkness is your friend in Thief, unlike Amnesia.

On the other hand, in describing Amnesia for friends, I tend to describe it as "The Shalebridge Cradle from Thief 3, only turned into a full game". I guess the insanity aspect of it is what makes me make that connection, as well as the enemies spasmic and unpredictable movements.
