RE: What other scary games are there? (for PC)

I think what we all forget is that fear develops over time, it is not a item that can be given and taken away. It grows in a man and will stay there once fully developed unless cleansed. Amnesia, the mass infection from the mind of the deeply minded Howard Phillip Lovecraft, is a short novel of a game but may last a life time. It intertwines with the development of fear for it stops you at your tracks for a period of time that can never be estimated. Though sense fear does take time to form into the blank darkness that is its whole, a media oriented playing device, a game, must be a length at which your sanity may be lowered so fear can come in. A example I bring is id software's (Id is the part of the mind in which innate instinctive impulses and primary processes are manifest) Doom 3. As I have mentioned before, being with weaponry and ways of defense brings security and peace that which Doom 3 does have but one must realize that may only go so far. The game, Doom 3, is roughly twenty-four hours in length, a full day. This game brings no rewards as you play, it brings no peace, no time where you can rest your sanity. No. None. You dive deeper and deeper into hell, deeper as you go you can't escape. Now does this sense of hell and fear stay as you play? It depends of course. If you play for only an hour or two every day of the week, no. It will not. Though if you take some time, in this short life that we have, to attempt to play this game in one sitting. No breaks, no pauses, no food, no drinks, no friends or family... only you in that old station on mars with your only company being hell. Soon as you play, soon into the deep hours on that station you will begin to sweat. You will begin to shake softly; deeply paranoid as you continue. As the hours deepen, as you seem to make no progress in your life, as your weapons seem to get weak as you go along, your flashlight seeming dimmer and less of a friend, demons and creatures will seem to stalk you through the dark corridor, you will not be able to stay away from the engrossing fear. After hours...hours...and hours you will not be the same man. You will become your character. No food, no drinks and no sleep. You must push through the fear and continue. For a full day of fear. Can you do it?

Ocean is more ancient than the mountains, and freighted with the memories and the dreams of Time.
