Gaming Amnesia: The Dark Descent Hands-on Preview

Summer is here, so what better time to lock yourself in a dark room with a scary game?

Spoiler

The man you're sent to kill is actually you!

Oh wait, that was Stalker wasn't it?

 

I saw a couple of movies of the gameplay and i didnt find all that scary, maybe just playing it. I think the old Alien vs Predator is a lot more scary..

 

I love Penumbra trilogy and I'll definitely buy this game.

And perhaps this is the only game I'm glad is multi-platform: developed for Windows, ported to Linux...

 

Playing as the marine was probably the scariest time I have ever spent with a game. It might have had to do with my young age, but damn, trained my clench response quite well!

 

The story sounds a bit Lovecraftian, which is always good. I hope the full game lives up to and possibly exceeds the expectations raised by this preview.

 

"bunny flavoured lollipops"??? ...with a nice chanti and some flava beans perhaps?

 

I'd be quite happy if this game didn't detract from its predecessor's much.

 

Yeah, "bunny-flavoured lollipops" sounds more scary that the title could ever be!

 

As a big fan of the Penumbra series, I'm looking forward to this.
