I inducted Amnesia: The Dark Descent for the Personal Computer into my Game Library today. Amnesia is a first person horror adventure game that is really, really scary. In the game, you control a guy named Daniel who found himself awake in an old castle with a severe case of memory loss. What is worse is that he seems to remember that he is being hunted by something. As if that wasn't enough, your character can lose his sanity if he experiences disturbing events while trying to navigate his way through the strange surroundings or if he spends too much time in the dark. When Daniel's sanity starts to slip, he begins to hallucinate so it is best to not stress him out and to find sources of light whenever possible. The game does a good job at making you feel very vulnerable. There was a message when I first started the game explaining that if the player encounters an enemy during the gameplay, fighting is not the solution. Fleeing or hiding are the alternatives here. That's just wrong.
Don't follow the strange liquid trail on the floor...
