Too scared to play Amnesia

[Tetrafish]

you may want to turn a bit the gamma up, and even if you're too scared, turn off the sound.
after that, you'll have to do it without this trick

Turn the sound off? No way! How else will you know when a monster is nearby? Sure, you might know the game like the back of your hand, but there are times and places where you just NEED the sound. This is a type of GOOD fear.

As for my take on the 'fear' level of Amnesia - Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw said it best with the closing remarks of his review for it. "....It's unparalleled as a constipation aid."
