  • Finally a game that's actually scary unlike that pathetic dead space game that fails to grasp the point of atmospheric pacing and has you yelling come at me bro because of your ridiculously overpowered weapons.

  • As much as i love Dead Space, this looks much scarier. The idea of a horror game with no weapons is an excellent idea.

  • you guys didn't mention custom stories!!! but seriously, best 10$ i ever spent

  • This game scares the shit out of me... Screw "scary" games like DooM 3, RE4, etc....

    This game makes you scared most of the time though sheer dread of what might come ahead around a dark-ass corner that you can barely make out with your puny lantern. So far the only game that came close to this level of actual scariness when you play has been Dead Space 1 and 2. Holy bejeeebez.

  • amnesia were your precious weapons are no where to be found muahahhaahhahahahaha

  • waoh, no weapons thats a bold step for a computer game, im a FPS dude, but still i would play this, loooks great, a change from the guns and warfare, to horror and wet pants.

  • I'm not into horror at all, but this game looks like a game that i should get. It looks unique and just very different from most games. Not one of those LOLOLLLOOL!! EXPLOSIONS!!!!!!!LOOK RBABRABRrgagargareh games <- sry, got a bit carried away there.

  • @Th3D4nny this is one of the best, and scariest game of all time. usually after 10 minutes of playing i'm shaking badly and breathing heavily. one of the few games that caused me to actually screamed in horror

  • @SirGoldfish092 hehe i played a part of the demo (dark room + headphones) And it's not that scary....YET. I'm now at the part where there's something in the water and kills you. that scared me the first time (scared me a lot). But the overall vibe of the game is just,.. creepy, even if there is nothing happening.

  • @Th3D4nny once you get to the storage... it will really get scary

  • Played the trial on OnLive. Scared the crap out of me. I was too afraid to move out of a room I was in because I was hearing sounds. I'm planning on buying it when I get a new graphics card.

  • Some kids are just too used to the "AAAARRRGGHHHH GOTTA BLOW UP EVERYTHING WITH MY GRENADE LAUNCHER" mentality of today's games to really appreciate an amazing game like this...

  • Got the game on steam today. I am loving it. When you said "Welcome back, Survival Horror Game. We missed you", I felt the same. For so long have we been given cheap tricks passed as Horror. This game is a dream come true for me.

  • Please, make a sequel, Return to castle Brenenberg or something. This is the most intense game ever. I want more.

  • I'm sold. I want to buy this game now!

  • Świetna gra. W końcu nie jakiś idiotyczny FPS w którym sam jeden mordujesz tysiące potworów. W tej grze naprawdę trzeba się postarać.

  • 1:35 WTF WHY IS THAT BLACK KID 69'ING THE DEAD WHITE GIRL IN THE FOUNTAIN?!?! THAT'S NOT IN THE FINAL GAME!

  • This game is an asshole. Never enough oil for my lantern. Never enough of those thingies you use to light the candles n stuff. And that bastard monster in the water eating me whenever I fall in the water. I just wanted to explore the castle, but no, some douchebag monster has to come and try to rape me. So what do I do? I try to hide like I'm supposed to. I turn off the lantern. Then WHAT THE FUCK!? The monster comes at me anyway.

    This game should never be played under any circumstances.

  • @SupermarketsRevil Well newsflash for ya,buddy.This is not a fucking RPG.Youre supposed to run and shit your pants.

  • @SupermarketsRevil hahahahaha! XD

  • @SupermarketsRevil You should try not failing at life. Or, actually, do us all a favor and stick a gun in your mouth.

  • *da

  • Ich hab tha voll keinen schiss...

  • Umm I havent really played any pc games so I was wondering... do I get this on Steam? Or in stores? Where could I get this? Please respond/

  • @zacbakcrak I think right now you can only get this on steam

  • I love the amount off ppl who are like "no guns, hiding in the dark, how shit" ppft, bet half of them would be knee deep in bum guff and out the door after an hour playin this beast.

  • @EpicMitchos exactly

  • I love this game. So scary

  • The madness mechanic reminds me of The Call of Cthulhu, and that was a damn crazy game.

  • Of all the games I've played, only the original FEAR compares to the this game. And, unfortunately for FEAR, it doesn't stack up favorably.

    There are many great horror games out there. But this one is truly the scariest.

  • @revickulous2001 It's definitely scary , but it's damn boring and lets not forget it's a game, and honestly it's not that great when it comes to gameplay.

  • The developers would gain much more sales and fans if they let this game come to consoles, a shame really.

  • @DaltonsBizkit Theyre making a new game curreently to consoles.Though its not maybe fully horror.

  • @GreedAndSelfishness f;alkwnsbv[oiaknwed'gvfnwar'g FUCK!

  • I guess why those other "horror" games aren't scary is because most of the time you have freaking pistols or shotguns...

  • This game really shows how bad most modern horror is. The most scary parts in most movies are the ones that make you jump out of surprise. This on the other hand messes with your mental well-being. 5/5 please continue to bring horror back.

  • They should have this game for Xbox

  • I've been playing this game, at night, with head phones on. It's by far the scariest game I've EVER played. Silent Hill is a baby compared to this.... F.E.A.R is a baby compared to this.... Resident Evil... well you get the point. Play it.

  • @KaiPrincess20 Truer words have never been spoken xD

  • Comment removed

  • I wonder if frictional games knows that people gave the monsters nicknames :3

  • @Vesivian thats cuz not many people bought it because they were scared

  • Sure, ill buy it.

    As soon as i come out of my corner.

  • I used to play Amnesia the n i took an Arrow to the knee...

  • Proud to be Swedish

  • lag

    

  • *opens door* BWAGH! Nope, it's just chuck testa. 

  • this game is awesome ! one of the best of its kind

  • Paskakorva just trolled you all, and btw his name means Shitear.

  • @Mursuvaari a) Amnesia on puhasta paskaa (Amnesia is pure shit) b) eipä ollu ainakaan varattu se nimi

  • @Paskakorva Pelaappa hiukan kauemmin kuin ekan tunnin, jos siis uskallat.

  • @Mursuvaari Siis mie pelasin tuon pelin läpi, keskellä yötä, kuulokkeet päässä, yksin kotona. Ja tuo peli on sellasta paskaa että se kyllästyttää hetkessä. Kun ekaks alotin nin jaksoin pelata tunnin ja kyllästyin. Sitten sain jostain ihmeen Jumalilta voimaa pelata tuo loppuun ja se oli niin suuri pettymys että tekis mieli survoo halko tuon kehittäjille ja kehujille perseeseen. Ainut hyvä asia tuossa pelissä on että voit mättää homeisella leivällä niitä örkkejä. PASKAA KOKO PELI!!

  • Bullshit. Amnesia sucks! It's not scary, it's not fun, it sucks big time. I played it 2 am with headphones, and I got so bored that I stopped playing after about 1 hour. No one should get this bullcrap piece of shit

  • @Paskakorva i'm guessing every game in history sucks if you only play for one hour.

  • @JustDrinkIt No, this game actually looks bad

  • @Paskakorva you have to be pretty retarded to play a game for an hour and then say it sucks....

  • @Paskakorva WATCH OUT EVERYONE! WE HAVE A BADASS IN OUR PRESENCE!

  • @Paskakorva The first hour isn't anything like later in the game :)

  • @Paskakorva Try having some patiance, or go back to playing cod. Your choice.

  • @EpicMitchos patience? What do you mean by that? I played the whole amnesia through. And I don't play cod really much anymore. Now I'm playing skyrim, red dead redemptions, warzone 3, just cause 2. And I'm waiting the silent hill HD collection to come out.

  • @Paskakorva What i meant is that alot of people seem to have only played a very small amount of the game, and made their assumptions baced on the peroid of the game when the story is being astablished and the action has not started.

  • HOLY FUCK! i usualy am not afraid of stuff, the last game i was scared of was halo combat evolves when you first encounter the flood and just watching this is scaring me pretty much just by putting myself into the players perspective!

  • Theres nothing appealing in this game. at least for me.

  • It's SANITY not Insanity

  • BARRLES!! not to mention, they didnt put Stephano in this review..... :(

  • Paranormal Activity: The Game

  • oh goodie, another game to put on the "to download" list.

  • Amazing review! Glad to see such a detailed review. I think you got every part there, dude!

  • just watching this gave a big huge devilish grin on my face.

  • 4:30 bodies on floor

  • I'm not scared -__-

  • @danie2332123 well play it :P

  • @StarCraft2bifi Ummm... i'm sure i'm gonna.. try it out some day...

  • just watching this video made my heart start to race

  • where the hell can i get this game

  • @Drprinceshakespear on Steam

  • Just Buy this game to support the developers! :) Great game

  • i played demo for about 3 mins. think ill wait till morning.

  • Well?????Can i use my cock or not????

  • amnesia is a awesome horror game

  • Hi, I am a girl who likes playing horror games :) I just started my channel, and Amnesia and ulent Hill are the first gameplays I tried uploading :) Would You fellow gamers please check my channel? I would really appreciate your support ^^

  • @GirlVsMonsters shouldn't you be in the kitchen?

  • See this is what I love about these kinds of horror games. They make you feel paranoid as you go through the castle. Even when you know a monster isn't there you still hide in fear thinking that one may appear once you leave. You have no weapons and therefore noway to defend yourself which just enhances the experience.

  • its like a 1995 point and click game with crappy pc controals point and click would of been better

    if it was built on a better game engine it would of been better bioshock 1 is a much better game by x10

  • @djsreview lol... i bet you just didn't play the game at all ;p

  • @XshadowNL i played it for free on onlive 3day rental for free im playing shattered memorys now on the wii if you combined that with this it would be amazing

  • @djsreview Learn.. English?

  • @djsreview No this game works quite well the way it is. The way the game is presented translates very well as a horror game. No way would have a point and click game been anywhere near as good a design decision.

  • "Welcome back, Survivor Horror! We've missed you!!"

    It's no longer survivor horror when we're feed tons of guns, ammo, light, and open space.....*cough*residentevil*­cough

  • Hey, people who sign up for a free account with OnLive can get this game for $1. You can choose from other games as well like Assassins creed 2/Brotherhood, Just Cause, Batman Arkham Asylum, Saints Row 2....etc. This is for real. All you have to do is link your Facebook account with your OnLive account and like OnLive's Facebook page. Then you can choose you one dollar game. There are no strings and no hidden fees. This is for real. Look it up for yourselves.

  • WELCOME BACK SURVIVAL HORROR! :D

    I just pray they keep making horror games and they earn enough.

    Its sad that those piteful attempts you sometimes see from triple AAA companies to make horror.

    Apperently it takes indie companies to make good horror games, because they understand what works, doesnt dumb down the game and are willing to take a risk.

  • Time to watch puppies now... Shiver

  • I could not find an IGN review of this game...did no one of the reviewers have the balls to play the game haha

  • @RumuhAlg ign didn't do a video review. read the written review at their site

  • @RumuhAlg they review other games. horror games are not their types and there arent very scary or succesful. except this one.

  • @RumuhAlg There is a review, they gave it a 8.0

  • i dont think its that scary but its a good buy at 4$ on sale

  • how do you win the game?(get out of the castle?) and is it long?

  • @Olemwrongway somewhere between 5-10 hours

  • @laguuni ok, so not that long. but i guess this still feels a bit longer than for example call of duty ?:P

  • @Olemwrongway It's priced pretty low so it shouldn't matter. I haven't played it myself, I only watched day[9] play it. He's a funny guy and you can find his videos by searching "day9 amnesia" or smth

  • @laguuni yeah your right. the game cost as much as a cheeseburger. so i guess it is worth it. but i have heard it ends more like a sci fi game than a horror:O

  • buy this on steam on sale!

  • looks like crap game, hiding in the dark... wow what a great game... not

  • @Torbyz Play play it and wipe your tears and change your diaper after playing it.

  • @nmlss haha if you get sceard if a game your a big pussy... and i bet you got lol. hahah you suck.

  • @Torbyz Inb4 troll

  • THIS IS SOOO KOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • So when a monster attacks you, you have to hide in a corner like a little bitch? Definitely not my type of game.

  • @novado123 I agree, when i first saw one of those bastards, I charged at it with a chair. It undoubtedly failed. I mean this guy, Daniel is going down there to kill baron Fuckface, and after all the monsters he doesn't assume that they got to him first? Also Daniel is somehow able to fix an elevator and perform alchemy, but isn't able to put a knife on a stick (i found a shovel, pickaxe, scissors too)? Heck what harm is the baron gonna do if you have to blow up a few rockfalls to get to him?

  • @TheBladeEdge In one of the journal entries Daniel tells himself the monster is unstoppable and that he tried everything to stop it. You may have played through the game but you probably didn't pay much attention to the story at all. Now go back to Call of Duty.

  • I saw a let's play of this on Video Games Awesome not too long ago. Damn good game

  • Maybe it's just me, but I played the game for about 90 minutes and just got bored with it.

  • @Monkofmagnesia i play for 20 minutes before ahving to take a break before i pass out

  • @Monkofmagnesia Play it in absolute dark, in the night and with headphones. Amnesia is absolutely about creating yourself the atmosphere.

  • Steam sale! 3 bucks on steam now!

  • @eddieremember wander why?

  • @eddieremember Oh bob Saget!

  • @eddieremember STEAM SALE 4 BUCKS NOW.

  • Bought this game because its only $4 on steam right now.  80% off woohoo!

    Somehow I managed to play this game for an hour straight...in the dark...with headphones. I feel like I can take on the world!

    OH SHIT WHAT WAS THAT NOISE?! *cries in a dark corner*

  • This guy talks better than those commentators on IGN. And they get PAID.

  • Im debating buying this game its $4 on steam but i dont do well with shit jumping out at me any advice?

  • @SpecialMayonaise I'm having the same problem right now, I don't have the nerve to play anything with monsters moving fast and jumping at me etc, I also suck at puzzles, so combine the 2 together and I'm 100% doomed in this game .. But still, I really want to experience some actual fear since I have yet to find a movie that could actually make me feel fear! Almost all of them are just about shocking you, I don't even get shocked anymore because I always know when they are gonna try to in movies.

  • @Unterschiedliche I bought it and i am having trouble already and im 15min in :P It's easier talking to someone on skype my girlfriend finds it hilarious anyways i feel the same way about movies this game is a twisted kinda fun i dont wanna play it cause im about as brave as a little girl but i really but its actually really fun. Im kinda good at puzzles. Id buy it :D

  • @SpecialMayonaise I've spent the last couple of hours watching videos of this game and penumbra, so I'm pretty much sure, me playing those games are NEVER gonna happen man .. No freaking way..

    But I would be more than happy to watch some1 else play them instead of me :D ...

    I grabbed L4D 1 & 2, the fact that they can be played co op with actual human players was the selling point xD I'm probably gonna regret this decision later on lol..

  • @Unterschiedliche I was told to play this in the dark im playing it in a full lit room and i just sit still for 90% of the time crying. Add me on steam Surrealxo :D I might regret this purchase soon.

  • @SpecialMayonaise Added you, why don't you get penumbra as well?? I think after amnesia you might still have enough brain cells to burn xD

  • @SpecialMayonaise I can tell you right now nothing jumps out at you. The thing that really gets you scared is when you hear the monsters groans and footsteps and then down a long dark hallway you will see the monster itself. This game makes you paranoid to a point that even when you known it's safe to leave you still don't. If you can get through the entire game then you have conquer darkness itself.

  • 3 euro over steam!!!

  • R.I.P. headphone users

  • Me: YES! I WATCHED THE WHOLE VIDEO WITHOUT LOOKING AWAY!

    Random guy: -Stare-

    Me: Okay, I was in the comments huddling with the other scared commenters....

  • Ultimate question: Which is faster: the Grunt or Brute?

  • HOLY CRAP MY NAME IS DANIEL! IF I PLAY THIS GAME I LITTERALLY WILL HAVE AMNESIA

  • the "get it over with button"  5:50

  • 5:24 this and call of cthulhu dark corners of the earth played at night with headphones on....scary shit

  • first night on the game. . . I left the game sweating and my heart pounding, and I had someone to talk to who was watching my gameplay with me. And I'm pretty sure I got to that water section he was talking about that made him scared to be in the water. . . I had to stop for the night.

  • I found Doom 3 to be scarier...honestly :/ Of course I have only played a few moments of this game, my friend went through the entire game in less than 24 hours (there was still time for dinner according to him). He said it wasn't that scary, just stupid he didn't have any weapons...

  • @TheJockman117 It happens sometimes that people don't get the immersion out of games like this, if you don't get immersed then the scary factor drops a mile. Also if you added weapons, this game would barely be scary because you would have a way to fight back instead of run and hide (which is much scarier).

  • Wow great review.

  • this game didnt scare me as much as doom 3 did

  • Im not joking when I say it, this is THE scariest game i've ever played.

  • @johnrock882 try playing "The Grudge" on WII

  • @BekirsGames I already that on my sisters wii... it isnt really scary, it just has stuff jump out on you, so in that aspect its kinda cheap..

  • @johnrock882 totally agree with you :P

  • I think of the game as the ultimate storybook. It keeps you glued to your seat with the interesting story, and it also keeps you on the edge of your seat with the intense horror. My rating of the game: 9/10.

  • Mr. Face.... D:

  • Don't worry, I'll keep you safe, fellow comment-reader

  • @deadRoden7 <3

  • Hey guys, you should support ElderGeekDotCom's channel as they really do make great reviews, I'm not part of them I'm just a fan.

  • im going full screen!!! Boo Ya :-)

  • A game with no weapons? That's new

  • ive watched a lets play of this game and oh my god its fucking intense and scary as shit...through the whole thing accept for the peaceful parts im on edge...the gatherers are creepy as fuck and the music in this game i love it its so fucking creepy and fits the atmosphere perfectly

  • It's odd, I'm not trying to brag here, But for some reason I'm 11 and I'm not scared of it anymore. I was 10 when it came out and THAT'S only when it scared me. But it just doesn't work on me anymore. Hope that they come out with more games like this. Gotta love horror.

  • @dunejumpertwc you should try the Downloadable Costum Story's Because when you play the same thing again it's not as scary, oh and if you take my tip, The first story you should download is, "Dark Room"

    i promise, you will love it!

  • @Fredrik361

    Ok! I have downloaded custom story's but half of them I couldn't figure out. >_> But I will try "Dark Room" :D

  • i played this game in broad daylight and still got the crap scared out of me

  • @DXSXDXSXD

    I'll admit not being able to pick up one of those hammers I saw was stupid.

  • The music when there's a monster always akes me panic. When it got louder at 4:47... ohmigoodness.

  • @DXSXDXSXD

    And think about it, If it was real life, Wouldn't you hide if you didn't have any weapons and you saw something with only HALF a face?

  • @DXSXDXSXD

    What? You don't like it because you don't shoot everything in sight or what? >_>

  • Tip :

    1) go to options and change your gamma to 0,7

    2) use a headset and let no1 disturb you

    3) play only in the evening with all the lights of in your room

  • the game sounds great but will it blend

  • @derka1225 shut the fuck up

  • @DethThrasher1 u mad bro

  • @derka1225 hahaha memes hahahahaha hahahahahahaha 

  • I have seen a lot of non IGN, non Gamespot reviews. I gotta say; this is by far the best. IGN doesn't ever know what they're talking about anyway.

  • 2:57 that part scared the piss out of me

  • 1:33 Sixty-Nine hell yeah!!!

  • I don't understand the context of the word 'mechanic', in this review. What does it mean?
