Fear of Progression - "OH SHIT A LETTER I BETTER NOT PICK IT UP"

[ide]

I really don't think that fear of progression is a bad thing. This is a horror game after all. You're supposed to fear. Scary stuff happens -> you fear everything -> you ignore the fear since you can't find any monsters for a while -> monster -> you need new pants. That's the formula, and it works for me. Not many games out there can keep the player in constant fear like Amnesia.
