Amnesia: The Light Ascent

It'll be a happy game full of sunshine and love.

No game, no movie, nothing, has instilled so much psychological fear into me as Amnesia has. I was equally terrified at parts such as fixing the elevator as i was in the Prison. I love it because of how from the second you start the game to the second you beat it it's 100% first person. The slow moving aspect is amazing also. I remember when I first played through the game, and how scared i was becoming to small things in the beginning, but then in the wine celler they just slap you in the face with the grunt. Because Amnesia sensitizes you to the small things and then they lay on a whole new level of terror. A door opening, a book falling. Those are the scary parts at the beginning. Yet when a door opens in the end, after youve encountered the water lurker, countless grunts, and many brutes, its equally as terrifying as it was in the beginning. Ive played the game through multiple times, and im STILL hesitant even if i know what happens. the grunt at the top of the stairs during your escape from storage still makes me scared. I love Amnesia. I cant wait for another survival horror. If Frictional puts in something like weapons, cutscenes, or third person, i will be very disappointed. This is one of the few instances where everything works and shouldnt be changed. Its terrifying, and it stays terrifying to the end.

I wouldn't mind a third person game, Frictional could pull it off.
However maybe it should be set in a city that is falling apart, like a zombie apocalypse? Now trust me, I have faith in Frictional so the game would go like this: you don't have a weapon, and even if you do achieve a gun, its not like there is ammo lying about. And the sound the gun makes when you shoot it, draws zombie.
And you can't get attacked once, cause if you do you will become a zombie.
None of this life bar crap.
Maybe they could make it where you are a zombie, like no survivors, and you have to survive as a zombie.
Or maybe it should be set in a cave, and you were a hiker and you got lost one night, so you find a cave to take shelter in, but it turns out it is a demonic scary cave? XD

Get the Star Trek license and make a truly terrifying game about trying to survive against the Borg.

Imagine being hunted by an intelligent creature played by a human, perhaps you and other players have to do something while being hunted down and killed?
