The last memories fade into darkness. Your mind is a mess, only the feeling of being hunted remains. You must escape.

Amnesia: The Dark Descent is a first-person survival horror. A game about immersion, discovery, and living a nightmare. An experience that will chill you to the core.

You stumble through narrow corridors. A distant cry is heard. It is getting closer.

You play as Daniel, waking in a desolate castle, remembering almost nothing. As you explore, you uncover his troubled memories. The horror comes from outside... and within. A disturbing journey into the human mind awaits.

Dragging feet? Or your imagination?

A fully simulated world, cutting-edge 3D graphics, and dynamic sound pull you in. No cutscenes or time-jumps, everything happens to you directly.

Something emerges from the dark. It's approaching. Fast.

Danger is everywhere. You can't fight - only hide, run, or use your wits.

Do you have what it takes to survive?

The first game to legitimately scare me. I went in completely blind to beat the game in one sitting in an overnight play session in complete darkness, with good headphones.

My only stumbling point was early on, I incorrectly thought the way to advance was to stack things to climb higher in a sort of rudimentary physics puzzle (that's never a solution in the game) when I was supposed to just push a button that was pretty much in plain sight.

You can cheese your way out of any scariness by ignoring the game mechanics (looking at certain things reduces your "sanity", but looking closely at the scary stuff takes away a lot of the fear of the thing), but if you go into it with the intent to play it straight, it's a fantastic game.
