My friend gave up on this game because...

[Cryaotic]

Is your friend the sort who can get immersed into a game, or the sort who simply plays games for mindless sense of enjoyment? I know the game is not for everyone, and for some people they are angered at the fact that you cannot defend yourself against the creatures.

Those who see it that way do not realize that Daniel is just one normal man, one normal weak man against a haunting shadow, creatures of unknown origin (at least to me since I am only at the Prison Ward), and an ever-present hint of terror running down the character's spine.

Is he the sort to normally enjoy solving puzzles and survival, or the sort who just wants to shoot a gun and watch Target A go into a ragdoll?

I myself absolutely DESPISE horror games, but I am playing Amnesia nonetheless to try and grow some chest hair; dang nabbit.
