Bought it on Steam during the last Potato Sack sale. Played it for about 40 minutes. Got too scared, closed it down, never played it again.
It's a good game, and I want to play it some more, I just need to get braver first. Cause seriously, this is the first and thus far only game I've been too scared to play.

Sounds like you need some sort of wonderful bravery inducing montage.

I was thinking more like a montage of you running down a hallway filled with the echo's of screaming monsters, actually... and maybe at the end, you have to go hand to hand with a zombie, or something.
You'd feel braver after that, right?

In all seriousness, I think amnesia is the perfect example of what the survival horror genre needs more of.
Resi 4 will always hold a special place in my heart, but I don't think the evolution of survival horror games lies in "SHOOTY BANG, BANG" and amnesia is really refreshing to play. I just wish more developers were making truly terrifying games like this, instead of turning them into FAST PACED ACTION MOVIES WITH SOME ZOMBIES FLUNG IN FOR GOOD MEASURE!!!
You... you guys still like zombies, right?
.....right?

I agree that Amnesia is definitely one of the pinnacle of survival horror games, but the fact that I (and some others, I'm sure) find it too scary to play might turn off developers, who want their product to reach as wide an audience as possible. And apparently more people like shooting fast paced zombies than dark claustrophobic corridors with shadowy monsters lurking behind you.

Well I hope you don't mind me saying this, but literally fuck all of those people with a rake.

Did you spontaneously wet yourself with fear?
It's ok you can tell us... this is a safe place.

After how unimpressed I was with the "ooo scary web comic" thread, I've serious doubts as to the level of terror I'll find in this game.
Not knowing what was in that thread, I will just ask:
Did you ever play Eternal Darkness, and did you find it at least moderately intense?
If yes, you will like this game. It's like someone took most of the physical monsters out of Eternal Darkness (they're there, but it's not about facing them and gunning them down anymore, it's about running the fuck away because you have no weapons) and added in atmosphere.

I played ED and laughed at a lot of it.

From what I've heard, the Fatal Frame series makes this look like nothing. Sadly the only videos I can find of it have random dudes with their recording equipment on and they're all screaming like scared children. Kind of kills the atmosphere.
If they really wanted to sell me on the Wii U, it would be by making a new Fatal Frame game, using the gamepad as the camera.

Fatal Frame is where it's fucking AT! Crimson Butterfly was amazing.

You have a camera in FF.

That or I've seen enough real shit that supernatural fantasy stuff doesn't phase me.
