"to amfp in which there is no place like the other."

That is actually a really good point I hadn't noticed.

"I can't understand what's so good about the inventory system. Maybe you could enlighten me?"

It's not so much that I think it's special or a +, if the gameplay of a game needs u to pick up and carry things it's appropriate. I just never saw it as something immersion breaking. I've always felt, that so long as something is a part of the game (from lack of interactivity, to presence of inventories) it doesn't break immersion for me, because it is a part of the reality of the game.

"I find it extraordinarily rewarding to see that people like The Chinese Room try to touch in the deeper parts of meaning"

That's nice and all, but that intent isn't incompatible with reaching a large audience. If on feels they have something deep and meaning they should share with anyone willing. But I don't feel that's what they wanted to do, it would be bad judgement or dishonesty to attach the label of amnesia and turn around and say "Well it was meant for a smaller audience" If not the latter to would be rather dismissive and kinda a slap to the face saying "NO, this game isn't for you".

"It's about the content and how much of an impact it can have on yourself"

Psychological horrors don't do it for me, it's something I'd rather write than read.

I'm wondering. did you find the game scary? If so why and how?
