We will see a new game soon?

I couldn't even explain why I should want to progress ever deeper.

If you couldn't get immersed, then I guess the game failed for you, because that was the point of Amnesia, immersion above all else. You stress that your enjoyment of a game hinges on strong mechanics, well, then it just wasn't for you. Frictional mentioned they want to push that emotional angle in their next game, but if it isn't horror, I'm (pretty) sure we can foresee a return of open-ended puzzles.
