You are a bad comedian.

Samuel is a good sound designer, but I prefer Jens, who did the sounds of original Amnesia and Penumbra.

The sounds itself are not the point. They are all good. But how they were played to create the best possible atmosphere, I can say that Jens did the better work. Remember the cells area in Amnesia, when you're going to the first corpse, you'll hear some kind of "knocking" which gets louder and louder as closer you come. In my opinion you not only have to create good sounds, you also should know how to implement them right. Samuel did a very nice job with the machine sounds, but I miss the horror a bit.

Was Jens responsible for that sawing sound which gradually got louder the closer you got to the torture room? Because that was one of the most horrific sounds I've ever heard lol

Yes. The sounds there are very creepy.

Wow, that's awesome news! I think this game'll have some of the best and certainly most terrifying sounds in a video game, ever!

I think the wait for new teases or even a gameplay trailer will kill me. This file recovery bar is too damn slow!

Somehow I don't think it's a date.
If it were a date, it would be 16.10. But I could be wrong. I'm probably wrong...
