Does Perma Death make a game scarier?

It increases the realism for me! In TDD you can just run into a monster and respawn to remove the monster from that specific level. Biggest mistake ever :/. Permadeath kind of increases the intensity in how emersed you are in the game. Just like real life, i like that! Though it is definitely not recommended for larger story driven games. In Routine, they expect you to choose your own path in the complex and try to figure out the story the way you want to. Amnesia is a whole different case..
