I actually jumped in my seat and got goosebumps so many times. Had to call the kids to keep me company as I was to scared to play alone in the dark! Brilliant horror/puzzle game that will keep you entertained and exploring every thing.

Amnesia TDD is a one of a kind game. It is one of the most legendary titles in the history of gaming. This game started the Let's Play genre on Youtube and launched the careers of Pewdiepie and Markiplier! The survival and psychological horror aspects of the game are implemented really well. But what really made the game great in my opinion is the LORE! The lore is loosely based on the alchemists of medieval times; such as the infamous Cornelis Agrippa! The setting and locations look very realistic. It was released almost 14 years ago, but it is still one of the best horror games ever made.

A very scary and fun game! Every October I return back and always get too scared to continue! I do get further and further into the game each year though! Sound design is incredible and still holds up after all these years! If you have still not experienced Amnesia you really need to give it a try!! You might get so scared that you'll have to stop playing though!

April 2024

Still a great atmospheric horror game with many mods that easily could be DLCs. Don't be afraid of it, or its age, you can still enjoy it today.

Feb. 2024

the cycle for me is: open the game, play for 3 min, close game cus scared, open the game, play for 3 min, close game cus scared, open the game, play for 3 min, close game cus scared, open the game, play for 3 min, close game cus scared.
