The Well of Fears

So I managed to pick up Amnesia: The Dark Descent today. The plot of the game is you wake up in a old castle with no idea what happened. It's a first person view, but it's not a shooter. In fact, you can't attack at all (so far). You go through the rooms exploring and doing puzzles. The character is a bit afraid of what's going on, so you have to stay in the light (lighting torches or using a lantern, both which are limited in supply).

You have to try to figure out what's going on, and trying to explore the castle. You get a letter from yourself in the very beginning telling you what is going on.

To put it simply, the game is creepy as hell. At least once or twice the hair on my arms was standing up, and I sure as hell was surprised when I saw my first enemy, and ran like crazy.

I highly recommend it. Check out the trailer on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M627-obxNzg

I've really started to get into survival horror, so this should be enjoyable!

...crap...I'm not supposed to spend any money...just picked it up. It looks pretty SWEET!!

Amnesia held the number one spot on my Steam wishlist until the new version of Dear Esther came out. One of these days I'll manage to snag both. I've played the demo for Amnesia and it was pretty awesome, but the original Dear Esther managed to grab my attention more.

Meanwhile, darkgaizat? Really? Reviving a two year old thread? Some places would frown on that. Good thing we're not one of them.

mine showed that someone else revived it. (Showed the key on it) maybe something's wrong with the thread.

Eh, no worries. Since I go on hiatus randomly all the threads do that to me. If it really becomes a problem I'll look into correcting it.

Awesome game. I reckon it's better than Machine for Pigs and even SOMA.
