What do they call eleven year olds these days... tweens?

Over developed children.
There is truth in these words.
Good thing i'm not the kind of eleven year old that screams to a microphone in Call of Duty. Heck, i don't even own one! I'm the kind of eleven year old who is immersive, likes horror and idolizes H.P Lovecraft.

You should Plant vs Zombies instead of this. This game will corrupt your mine with violence and nudity (ALMOST all people in this game are naked).
And besides, Plant vs Zombies is MUCH more scarier than this.Grammar error was the designed for the post.

RE: Are Amnesia players adults or teens?

If you think about it for a moment, Amnesia is not really intended for younger audience. It is not an action game, it is a game with great yet very grotesque story, containing torture methods and the absolute dark side of the human psyche, dragging you through an intense atmosphere which never lets you go from start to finish of the game.

Players react differently based on personality and their ability on immersion and, not least, interest, not necessarily on age. There are many players who find Amnesia to be quite boring, either because they crave for action or because they simply fail to immerse themselves. If you were genuinely thrown into this world and it truly became you who woke up in the start of the game, clueless about what is going on while wandering the halls of a dark castle, hearing a lot of creepy sounds and ending up spotting things, chances are you would piss yourself and eventually faint or go insane. This is also a reason why a lot of players, including myself, feel that Amnesia is such an excellent horror experience - we feel that we are actually in the game, and it eventually drives us insane.

When playing it, you do have to help with the experience. You must allow yourself to be immersed, and you must turn off all the lights and play with loud sound (preferably with headphones).

If you have a hard time imagining a computer game terrifying an adult player, then these kind of games may not be for you. You can be certain, however, that many adult players deem Amnesia as the scariest and creepiest game to date, implementing true horror from start to finish of the gameplay. =)

On these forums I read that almost everyone is scared by the game, so I wonder if the people here are adults ( older than 18 ) or teens ( between 12 and 18 ). Because I can't inmagine people being scared by a game when they are an adult. I don't mean to insult anyone if they are adult , but I have made my father and brother both play the game and they didn't even react at all, so I wonder if that also counts for other adults.

Ps. You don't have to tell your age or anything, I just want to know if anyone knows if the Amnesia players are adults or teens.

Thanks.
Well, as said before, it all relies on immersion. Perhaps when you get older, when you play less video games, you do not immerse yourself correctly.

Also, I'd say, when you are older, you are less likely to scream. As far as I'm concerned, I didn't scream or jump out of my chair while playing it, though that didn't prevent my heart from fibrillating or my eyes from opening wide as I played TDD.

RE: Are Amnesia players adults or teens?

I´m 19 (almost 20) and I don´t get scaried too easy... but with Amnesia, it´s something else... I feel like if I´m living it myself, the noises, ALL the noises, with headphones, it´s just... Too tense.
