Like Resident Evil? This $20 game will scare the crap out of you

October 20th, 2010

Like survival horror games but have gotten a little bored with Resident Evil? Amnesia: The Dark Descent has the antidote.

Played in a first-person perspective, Amnesia has you running around a haunted castle, trying to figure out why the heck you're there. You have no weapons; the only way to escape attacks is to run or hide. Problem is, running can get you killed. And hiding will drive you insane, a la Silicon Knights' Eternal Darkness.

What's more, the game is a mere $20. A demo is also available. Go on, do the right thing and download this sucker. Afterall, Halloween is just around the corner.

Awesome game, finished it with with about 6 friends in the same room.
If you really follow the storyline and play like you're really there it can be scary as hell!
If you cant handle the darkness, stay out of this game! :3

My favorite kind of multiplayer. Wrote a story on it last year:

LAN multiplayer for the WIN

That is a great aticle, I would have commented but i'm too lazy to open an account :3
So i'll just comment here if that is ok.
I prefer playing local multiplayer, regarding Amnesia, without local multiplayer it is almost
impossible because only few people would actually play that game alone, its too overwhelming for me
and my friends.
Thanks for the great article, keep them coming!
Good luck for all those who are going to enter the world of Amnesia, you'll need it...

I also finished it. Played it during night and it just is awesome game.

The basic tool for the manipulation of reality is the manipulation of words.
