Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Discussion Topic Part 1

[xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Yeah I don't think I could play that either. Especially since the mask is designed specifically so it's very hard for you to breathe with it - and the thought of drowning or suffocating is just unbearable for me.

Having almost no light would be the best solution, yes. It would be a bit like playing slender without the flashlight - you just start to see all kinds of things in the darkness. Also the loud noise of the machinery could make it much harder to hear from where an enemy is coming thus adding to the tension. (In quieter parts of the game you can just hide and wait for the enemy sounds to disappear)

I'd also like to see the concept of enemies carrying a lightsource make a reappearance in one way or an other. That really freaked me out in Black Plague, because you could never be sure if your dark hiding spot would be flooded with light the next moment. So imagine a dark room and the terrible, huge, walking piggymachine that's searching for you is powered by hot coals in its metal belly that give off a faint, red glow and throw bizarre shadows on the walls whenever the creature moves. It's hissing steam and the air bends from the heat and because the lightsource is under the monster you still can't really see what it looks like, only rimlights on its twisted anatomy.

The fansqueal referred to the spoiler above. Because I just had to spoil the fun for me and click on it. I'm stupid like that...
