Things that would have made Amnesia scarier

[Childerich]

I think it's a pity that all monster encounters are trigger-based. Sure, you're not aware of that the first time you complete the game, but it greatly reduces Amnesia's replay value.

I also feel that the monsters should be a little more persistent in their search. I once hid from a Grunt in a cell in Prison. I was pretty sure it hadn't seen me, so I was shocked when it started to break down the door. Daniel's sanity was low, a small candle was lit and there was absolutely nothing to hide behind. However, when the door was finally down, all the Grunt did was growl a few times ... and leave without even entering. I was quite relieved, of course, but in retrospect, it was a bit of a mood breaker.
