Problem is mostly in expectations

I think problem is mostly in expectations: everyone expected the same game as Amnesia: Dark Descent, but it's impossible to make decent sequel of Dark Descent. Its obvious setting is exhausted. You can't make another well-made game about stupid medieval and stupid tortures and monsters jumping at you in the dark. Yes, no action and mostly walking and looking at things, but much deeper than Amnesia: Dark Descent. And much more interactions and plot than Dear Esther. If you want action, play Counter-Strike. If you want halloweeny spooky scary skeletons screaming at you in darkness, play Five Nights At Freddys or whatever.

Interactive horror stories FTW

I'd heard that AMFP was "less of a game" than The Dark Descent; it's true in part. AMFP focusses much more on telling a story, to the extent that it removes many gamey elements such as the need to light candles; oil supplies for your lantern; injuries and healing; and physics-based puzzles. The disturbing story more than makes up for the reduced interactivity. I'm wary of spoilers, but the premise is discovered fairly early on: it's the very end of the C19; you wake in a caged bed worried about your children; you're in a creepy mansion with strange red stains in some areas; and the house is near a sausage factory. Enough there to make you uneasy, but the game's reality is worse. There are strong themes of suffering, treating other beings as resources, cultures of inhumanity, loss, and industrialisation. I recommend playing this in the dark, with headphones, if you enjoy compelling horror. One bonus over TDD is that there are some outdoor scenes here, though they remain almost as claustrophobic as the depths you will descend to. It's certainly a good lesson in how to give as story away slice by slice, and managing the fine balance between pulling the player on whilst making them dread what will happen if they do. The game is surprisingly restrained and never felt gratuitous, yet still at various points I felt my heart racing, or felt sick, disturbed, and worried. I sympathised and I drew parallels to the reality now. I thought about the story afterwards, its elements of parable and commentary. As the horror grows, and visceral queasiness switches to terror which paralyses you in the shadows hoping that you will be left alone, even though that probably means death far from the sunlight, far from hope, in a depth of darkness to which humans have proven themselves capable of sinking; as hell becomes an amoral reality of endless process, once again your stomach turns and the rancid flesh of our existence is hung up to show us what we are. 10/10, would play again.

I want an Azteca pig's head

The game is confusing, once you grasp the role of the character everything begins to be understood, the game is designed to scare you but not to see that it pursues you, as for its unique and original story there is no other similar game that is set in an ancient time of the nineteenth century. In addition, they should take out Aztec heads that can be purchased physically. ha ha ha

Wasted Potential

I was expecting so much and was left with mixed feelings. To me it seems like a lot was left out or their vision was extremely narrow. I enjoyed the short bits of haunting music but it was very minimal. The feeling of dread from the first was replaced with discontent and wondering when the good part was coming, though it never did get there. It would of been nice to experience first handed the horrors that awaited the products instead of only reading about it. I sure hope their is a expansion or another Amnesia before SOMA releases.
