Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Discussion Topic Part 1

[Nyarlathotep]

Quote:I haven't personally played Dear Esther, but it seems more story based than horror.

Well that's because, it is. However, there is a surprising amount of creepiness to the game. It's very surreal and unsettling. There are extremely subtle ghost appearances that can be pretty effective to the unexpected. And just, the general sound and atmosphere. It shows their ability to craft horror without it being the forefront of the experience.

Korsakovia was a full on horror title, and that mod was pretty damn eerie and even terrifying at points. Just, in a very different way than Amnesia. The point is, TheChineseRoom is capable.
