First of all, this game is nothing like TDD, maybe some of the atmosphere and the name are the only common traits, having said this it seems this is the reason this game has been getting such low scores, because fans of TDD didn't really care too much for the story, they liked it because of the horror elements, while this game tells a much more compelling, disturbing and progressive story, everything abouth the story in this game is masterfully done, the way it develops, the twists, and it leaves you disturbed for quite some time, focusing so much on the story means the gameplay is a tool to tell it, while the game features an incredible atmosphere and sound design it's not as scary as TDD, but again, it doesn't need to be, it's a completely different game and i bet you if this game was called any other title than "amnesia" it would be receiving a lot of praise, i definitely recommend this if you are a fan of horror games, it's one of the best stories ever told.
