Fountain glitch/bug??

[JohnnyGui]

I recall reading somewhere that the corpse wasn't actually in the game until the patch (1.1 or 1.2) came out and implemented it. Not really sure about this though. It's quite nice the devs are putting new scary elements in the game with patches instead of just fixing bugs.

That's wrong. I played Amnesia 1.0 when it was released and the corpse was there!

Oh, my bad then.

A small update regarding the corpse: There are clues that makes me think the corpse only appears when your sanity is very low (as in "...") just like the painting and the hanging meat in the Study room. This video has made my suspicion stronger: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRF9QjvSK2A

As you can see in the video, the player is clearly looking at it and looking away again several times without the corpse disappearing. It also shows that his sanity is very low ("..."). Bear in mind that the hallucinating elements in the game are still visible for a while even after you have recovered from the "..." state to the "heart pounding and hand shaking" state and that it needs time (and to look away from it) to make them disappear again.

It's things like this that makes want to check every room with my sanity very low to see things that I might have missed lol
