Review by zxbrad - Amnesia: The Dark Descent

In the game "Amnesia: The Dark Descent"
You play as Daniel; Who starts in the game with a very bad case of amnesia. (hence the title) Daniel is trying to remember certain things (his name, where he lives, etc.) The game takes place in "Castle Brennenburg" owned by Alexander of Brennenburg. Early in the game, you find a note from your Former Self, telling you, your priority in the game and that some things were meant to be, forgotten. Your Former self tells you to kill Alexander of Brennenburg. He quotes that "He is weak and old, and yours is Young and Strong." You listen to your former self and your adventure into The Dark Descent, begins.

~Environment~
The environment in Amnesia takes on a very important role in the game.
The environment can mess with your mind, it throws in sound to keep you off track. Environment is cold, dark and eerie. Beware, I hear footsteps.

~Creatures~
Unlike any other Survival Horror Title (Silent Hill, Resident evil, etc.)
Amnesia brings it back fully too life, but with a twist.
Using ur wits is the key to surviving.
The creatures in the game, can not be harmed.
There are NO weapons in the game.
If you find a crowbar or hammer, that go in your inventory, those were meant for something else.
The monsters are disfigured and deformed.
If they see you or hear you they will chase you down, knocking objects out of the way, (Door, dressers, etc.)
Staring at a monster will rapidly drawn your sanity (Sanity goes all the way down you die. well go insane, but you'll still get a game over)

~Darkness & Light~
The darkness is good and Bad.
The Light is good and Bad.
Stay in darkness too long, your sanity will slowly drawn.
But will make you hid-able from monsters.
The Light can help you see, and refreshes your sanity.
But has a good chance of signaling monsters to find you.

~Story~

is excellent (enough said)

~Rating: 10/10~
