However, your sanity slowly drops when you remain in it for too long-indicated by the crackling sound of “cockroaches in your brain” and your heart beating. Simply put, standing in darkness will allow your eyes to adjust to it better. There is also the game mechanic for light and darkness. BRAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIINNN!!! Oh dear god, get up get up get up… You may even collapse on the ground, making you vulnerable to the ungodly creatures waiting for you at the other end of that dark hallway. However, when your sanity is too low, it affects your vision and your ability to steer yourself. You die when your health drops to zero-obviously. There are chemicals you may need to mix or special tools that allow you to bypass jammed doors. You have to be thorough in exploring each area, because there might be hidden areas you have missed that contain important items that are required to move forward. Some of these puzzles though can be really tricky and require a lot of backtracking to complete. To this end, you will need to collect many items you find along the way such as keys and machine parts in order to advance forward. You can get hints on certain puzzles by picking up notes around the area. Puzzles can range from simple tasks like pulling hidden levers or collecting keys to open new doors to doing more complex tasks like making specialized chemicals or getting a big machine to work-which can have three or four different smaller puzzles to solve. The main objective is to keep pressing forward as you solve puzzles and avoid danger. You play in first-person view, exploring an enormous gothic-style castle in Prussia during the 19th century. It’s a game that has gotten the horror element down right to the tee. There are endless custom stories you can play, plenty that offer new challenges and even give fresh experiences. I just love it that much.Īnd there is quite a bit of replay value too. I have played this game longer than completing some of the RPGs I owned. I must be one twisted fuck because I have played over 140 hours of this game on Steam. You only have your wits, reflexes and resources to lean on. That game is Amnesia: The Dark Descent. One that has proven that not all horror games need to give you a means to defend yourself.

No, we’re going to a game that has challenged popular horror series such as Silent Hill and Resident Evil.

A game with zero atmosphere and nothing but BWAAAAAAH jumpscares is hardly worthy of mention (COME AT ME, FANBOYS!) I’m sorry, but that game isn’t scary at all.

A game that is often the subject of Let’s Play videos and reaction videos. For tonight’s review, we look at one of the most popular horror games of all time.

So for this month, I am going to look at the Frictional Games catalog and maybe pick up a few other games. Nothing else gives you such an adrenaline rush than having to experience something that scares the shit out of you. Guess what that means? Horror movies, horror shows, horror games. Only your quick reflexes and wits will save you from the monsters. Amnesia: The Dark Descent is easily one of the scariest video games of all time.
