I think many people will disagree with what I am about to say right now but here it goes: the soundtrack was bad. I know this is just about personal preference so what can you do. In the previous Amnesia and in the Penumbra -games the soundtracks by Mikko Tarmia were a major part what made those games for me. The soundtrack in AMFP just couldn't wake up the terror in me. I am a composer myself too so don't get me wrong, it was not badly composed or anything. Just not a soundtrack for a horrifying experience.

I'm glad someone mentioned this because while I don't agree it was straight up bad, I will say that I don't believe it was as amazing as people try to make it out to be.

Don't get me wrong, I thought the music was fine but, to me, it was just something 'pretty' to listen to and that's all it invoked in me while I played. With the Penumbra, but more so ADD, OSTs I always felt a sense of atmosphere and dread that to this day still manages to get to me a little spooked when I listen to it (It makes getting lost on the roads in the country all the more an exciting experience let me tell you).

AMfP's soundtrack, like I said, only went to 'oh what pretty cellos' territory and that's as far as it went with me. It was kind of like 'scary music 101' and came off all together as shallow in my opinion, which is a reoccurring theme in this game for me. I can understand how some people enjoyed it though.
