That is the whole problem. It takes while to actually turn 90 degrees properly and once you've done that 90% of time in sequences where you are in a hurry you are already dead, especially if we take a hypothetical scenario in the prison as there is not that much room to move. Let's presume someone saw you and you're being chased, have fun making sharp turns in tight enviroment with a gamepad where it takes around 1\3 to ½ a second before it speeds up so you can actually 'turn' properly as in case if someone forgot, enemies in Amnesia runs faster than you do and they are more than willing to run most of the time if you're running away and they just got attracted to your lovely smell of fresh meat. Sure death in Amnesia is not that big deal, but that would just be silly to force player to die all the time in order to finish the game.
