Has good story, real life puzzles and non of this shoot'em all nonsense so common in "horror" games these days. Here, you need to be careful, quiet, and invisible if you want to survive, As you carry on with you own agenda, you uncover an interesting story and encounter characters who are at the edge of their sanity. Real gem. Frictional Games at it's best.
This game is truly terrifying. The atmosphere is heavy and dense, the lighting and physics are superb, and the narration is brilliantly executed. Enough of the intro. Now, I've completed their Penumbra series and it was a fantastically scary set of games with an interesting story to tell. Moreover, I've been a big fan of horror games for a long time (Nocturne, Blair Witch Project games, Undying etc, does anyone remember those?) But Amnesia is a whole new level of scary. I tried several times and couldn't do it. Every now and then, I return to it and do a little more each time. Go a bit further. This is the only way I can play this game. This game is a king of horror games. Until they bring up the sequel.
Beautiful game, great story, amazing world and atmosphere. If you are a fan of Lem's books you will appreciate this game even more. Although not based on any of his books, it might as well have been. Great game!
