I love the concept of horror games, but I just can't play them.  It's completely different to watching a film; the feeling that it's me this is happening to, rather than a character in a film, is just too much to take.  I really like Amnesia but I'll never complete it, sadly.

LOL...very interesting spin on this, thanks for sharing.  I have the opposite effect, I can't watch those bloody horror movies because they are real people, but in a game they are just computer creations.  Silly when you think about it but what can I say, it's how I feel.

You owe it to yourself to man up and finish Amnesia, it's a great ride. You can do it!

I could quite easily play it during the day, but that isn't how it's meant to be played.  At night, with headphones, I can manage about ten minutes per session.  It would take quite a while... ;)

I enjoy horrah' games except for when I'm sitting there in the dark playing, headphones on, and my wife just can't resist coming up behind me and touching my shoulder.

I usually bang my knees on the underside of my desk, which delights the little minx to no end.....

No way could I play anything like that with my back to a door (shudder!).

^That's exactly the way my game room is set up...back to the door, with headphones, facing 100,000 acres of woods.

I typically lock the door so no one can sneak up on me. I would wet myself even while playing My Little Pony with the Smuck Barber DLC.

Gah! The true horror was scrolling to the bottom of the story, and among the pictured links to other stories listed below was an image of Mickey Rourke.



Now THAT is the true face of terror!  :o

You're right, I am, and I wish it wasn't so!  I'd love to see the end of Amnesia!  :'(
