First Genuine Horror Experiance

Amnesia : The Dark Descent was the first actual horror game I got to play. I ruined part of Dead Space because I looked at walkthroughs before playing but I started The Dark Descent fresh with no clue what to expect. Even at the begining where the wind blows and the lights went out, that creeped me out.

*Minor spoilers*

My first memorable experiance was walking down the hallway to collect the flint box. I heared the moan and turned around to see the outline of that horrible monster. Expecting to die, I saw it dissapeared and as a brave man, looked for it. Of course I couldn't find it! That was a great moment.

The best part of the entire game was the red hallway leading to the Back Hall. Those water sprites started walking towards. Having to sprint down those rooms, throw boxes at the creatures, and slamming doors only to have them burst open was the most terrifying experiance I ever had in a game. It was the classic moment where you were being helplessly chased. I felt I was going to die.

When I finally made it, I walked into a beautiful litted courtroom with a flowing fountain. I knew I was safe.

Great job scarying the living hell out of me. Keep making those games and designing those ungodly creatures you sick bastards.

Maybe it's an idea to change the "Sick Bastards" to "Epic Creators"?

This was probably the best moment in Amnesia for me. The transition between being chased to death, and then suddenly a quiet beautiful room with that awesome relaxing ambient music playing.

I was about to worship Mikko at that moment.

At least until the shadow showed up there...

If it weren't for Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem, I would wholeheartedly agree with you. But yes, it's been a long, long time since I was having a hard time breathing during a video game.

Yeah Amnesia is quite something allright! Make sure to play the Justine DLC. You won't be dissapointed Smile

I swear one day on my vacation I'll have a Frictional Games marathon from morning to whenever i finish the games. Starting from Penumbra: Overture and ending at Justine DLC!

Don't you mean one night? Smile It's not the same unless it's pitch black, you're all alone, and the volume's up to 11. It's that whole 'atmosphere' idea.
