Possibly one of the scariest games EVER

Anybody ever play Amnesia: The Dark Descent?

It's set in a castle in 1893, you wake up, you just know that your name is Daniel, and there are no weapons PERIOD. You have to hide/escape all the monsters in the castle. You do have a lantern, but it has a very limited amount of oil, and must be replenished by finding canisters around the castle. You also have a sanity meter that dwindles when you see/look at something scary (monster, entity, weird stuff growing on walls) or hide in the dark for too long.

This game has a HUGE puzzle factor to it as well.

Here's the trailer:

I really want this game now.



And of course, a reaction video. Contains a bit of language, but I was pretty much too busy laughing my ass off



There is a demo on Steam if you're willing to try it out. You can pick it up now at a mere $20.00

He told me that was the best damn answer he ever heard.

If the game gets to him this much can u imagine him at one of those halloween haunted houses. He would honestly die of fright. Wierdo, but his friends ragging on him is hilarious.

With my current specs I can only play it on medium with a couple options set to low.

My specs:

Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
Intel Core 2 Quad @ 2.33 GHz
2GB DDR2 RAM
1TB SATA HD (665 GB still left)
EVGA Nvidia 9600GT KO
Antec EARTHWATTS 430 Watt PSU

Planned upgrades:
2GB RAM to at least 6GB RAM
Nvidia GTX 550 Ti
Aftermarket CPU heatsink with fan (not sure which one yet)
Re-paste CPU before installing new heatsink
Creative X-Fi sound card
500 Watt or bigger PSU unit.

Although this game isn't why I'm upgrading, can anybody say BATTLEFIELD 3???

Hmm, so that's the meaning of dedication? (or wealth.)

I've always heard tho that it's useless having more than 8 GB of RAM since there's not really any (if any) games that require more than 8 GB of RAM. The only games that I can think of that uses 8 GB are Microsoft Flight Simulator X and Metro: 2033.

It handles Crysis at the highest settings and 1900x600 with just a little blur when spinning the gun around.
