Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs

[Drowsy Emperor]

 

Amnesia was one of a very few games that would make me stop a play session because I've had enough.

Heh, same here. I actually never finished the game. I loved what I played through...the atmosphere, the graphic/gameplay design. But after awhile I just couldn't take the constant tension anymore. I usually prefer games for relaxation or stress relief, not to increase my stress. So it's become another of those games that I mean to get back to "one day." During a bright sunny day, perhaps.

 

 

Me too. It was too stressful so I quit about half way through. I don't generally enjoy survival horror much anyway but Amnesia was particularly terrifying compared to Resident Evil, Silent Hill etc.

Guys for those interested this game has been delayed again for few months. Oh well I would rather have a finished product than a rushed and buggy game.

 

Watch this video again on the IGN link that will show  you some of the tantalizing horror that awaits us when this game is released

It only makes sense to release it around Halloween anyway.

I find most Survival Horror to be frustrating more than scary - I'm more worried about conserving ammo than surviving. Amnesia, however, is a different story. Ever since I played it, no other horror game or film has scared me.

Very stoked for this game. I hope the areas are bigger this time.

Yeah, Amnesia and Penumbra are some of the very few survival horror games that actually manage to capture the horror part of survival horror.

Agreed! Great games that truly capture a very specific kind of horror.

I have the first one, but been too scared to play it. Yes, I am a wuss.

[Blarghagh]

Play it. The feeling of finishing that game if you're at all scared of horror anything is akin to the feeling of growing extra testicles by sheer will.

It's by The Chinese Room, the Dear Esther folks.

 

Now that I know stuff will jump out at me, it would probably freak me out less that what Dear Esther just did by not.

Looks like I have to wait to cower in the corner.

The first Amnesia had a few jump scares but the main focus is definitely not things jumping out at you.

Yeah, it was mostly about a constant feeling of tension and foreboding weighing down on you, plus some quality mind****s.  I still think Penumbra: Black Plague had the single best mind**** (speaking strictly of Frictional Games' games) toward the end of the game.
