What was the best chase scene in Penumbra/Amnesia?

[Carrna]

Agh, hard to decide. All of them have made me shit bricks at some point.

The spider tunnel where you have to break walls, move rocks etc. oh god... Probably my most popular dying place in Overture on the first playthrough after the refinery's steam floor. Then there was the long worm chase that felt it's never going to end; where you had to close doors and avoid acid and stuff. So much tension! I didn't even notice you could close the doors at first so I was trying to manage without them for some time haha.

Dogs near the end become really mad if you try to kill them with steam and fail, you know? One of them chased me almost through the whole place and when I tried to barricade myself into the storage room the dog ignored the closed door and dashed straight into my arms. The infected were probably the best ones for causing heart attacks in Penumbras. Especially the one that crashes through the door and sprints after you. Or Dr. Eminiss. Or Clarence. Their "danger is close" music is also the best one in Penumbras in my opinion.

In Amnesia, the brute chase in sewers was probably the one that made my adrenaline rush most. The Shadow chase was quite different since the situation itself didn't scare me much, but the fear came actually after it. I was so used to seeing it only hanging on the walls so when it started to move I was like "OMG. OMG WTF? WTF?!?" I lifted the rubble out of the way and ran like a robot, almost entirely calm.

Grunts on the other hand are, well... if they manage to surprise you then they can give a good chase. But generally they're so slow that they're kind of meh when it comes to running. Water horror parts were awesome, especially the one where you need to feed it and meanwhile get the slowly opening door open. But although they were really exciting they weren't as scary as the others. I guess I've played too much platformers so I'm very good at jumping.

This was a difficult decision but from these options my vote will go to the infected. Especially Eminiss and Clarence where you're stuck alone with them.

Probably the scariest chase however was Malo in Justine. I've played it three times and I still haven't saved the last dude down there. Every time I panic too much that I could stay and turn the wheel although I know you have enough time to turn it.
