Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Discussion Topic Part 1

My guess is that it's going to be more like Dear Eshter: More scenic, disturbing and surreal. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but Dear Eshter wasn't a directly scary game, so I've have yet to see proof that The Chinese Room can make truly scary games.

While I too wouldn't mind if it weren't as outright terrifying. I suggest you take a look at Korsakovia. It was a free HL2 they did before the Dear Esther remake. It is pretty terrifying. It's rough around the edges and recent source engine updates cause it to crash. But it was very interesting and effective.

That is pretty creepy, got a great atmosphere.
