Amnesia

Abostang was kind enough to buy me a game called Amnesia: The Dark Descent. It's on many lists of being one of the scariest games ever created. Why? You can't fight back.

It's dark, atmospheric, the sound is very creepy, and it all evokes the afraid of the dark primal fear inside you. You wake up in a dark mansion and have to find the inner sanctum. Something is following you, sometimes it's invisible and you can only hear it while you are running through water.

Abostang and I were on Skype and played probably about half of the game last night, I got stuck a few times while he had a few of the puzzles figured out by the time I got there. We both explored different areas and it's gone pretty well so far!

Oh, one other thing, if you stand in the dark too long you lose your sanity. However sometimes you need to hide from the thing following you and hiding in the dark is the best way to do that.

For a twenty dollar game it's very reasonable considering the only time I've felt like this while playing a horror game was the first Resident Evil. That had some legitimate scares in there and it was so fun! Amnesia is on par with that.

It's for the PC and any PC today can easily handle this game.
