Amnesia: The Dark Descent Review

 Have you ever left your computer and ran to the living room because the game is too scary? In this review, i will introduce you to the scariest game i've ever played, Amnesia: The Dark Descent.

 The game is a survival-horror game developed by the Penumbra Series' developer Frictional Games. The game is about an amnesia man named Daniel. Daniel wakes up in Brennenburg Castle, as he finds the notes that he wrote to future himself and vitnesses events, he rememberes about his reason being in the castle and his purpose. Here is a video of first 10 minutes of the gameplay.

 The main reason that the game is the scariest game ever is, you can't fight back against the monsters. Yes you heard it right. You are literally desperate. All you can do is to run and hide. In these desperate situations when you are being chased by the monster, you can't think healthy, you literally go crazy, in the end just leave your computer and go back to a safe place where your family is or just run from that room and hide in the blanket. Here is a chasing scene from the game. This pal is brave though. I usually close the game and dont play again in 2 days.

 I guess you have some idea about what i say ''Desperation''. When you go deeper in the story, you will think like Daniel, move like Daniel, be Daniel. As you read his notes to himself, you will discover the reason of being there and your goal. At the same time you will want to finish the game and won't be able to play more than 30 minutes in a row (Happened this way for me).

 About the physhic motor of Amnesia, the game is very simply developed according to it's coevals but very succesfull. It is possible to interact to almost every single objects in the game, such as books, shelves, chests, stones... Anything. The lightening and vision is very succesfull too. The ligtening helps the game to make you feel very uncomfortable. The vision when you stay in the light is clear. You can see the lightened places clearly but you can't see the dark places. When you stay in the dark for a while, you will get used to it and slightly see the dark spots of the place. But beware not to stay in the dark for too long! You will lose your sanity and in the end you will pass out for 15-20 seconds and when you fall, you will attract the nearby monsters attention.

 Dark corners, creepy sounds, creaking doors, perfect atmosphere for a survival horror game in all ways. Your mind is challenging you. If you think you are brave enough to overcome every horor movies and games, i dare you to try Amnesia: The Dark Descent!
