RE: Are Amnesia players adults or teens?

You could be 10 years old and not scared at all by the game, or you could be 48 and scared to death. It not about maturity, its about your attitude and cognitive processing.

If you play the game just to play it and have a shallow attitude towards it, then its not going to be fun or scary. But if you are playing it to get scared, your brain automatically adjusts from normal reasoning to anticipation (fear the unknown). The anticipation of something scary that is about to happen is what amnesia is all about, that's why their are the level specific environments in the game. If you go into a very lit room with almost calm music, you aren't going to be anticipating something scary most likely, but when you are thrown into darkness and the music is very dreary or non existent, that's when your going to be anticipating something bad to come.

The only way a person is going to enjoy TDD or AMFP is if they are playing to get scared and are willing to let their mind jump to the conclusions on what is about to happen. Take logic out of it, just let it happen and fear will find you. Otherwise you will just sit there and beat the game just for the sake of beating the game. That's dumb.
