All Amnesia demo discussion HERE

[Cactus]

I just finished the demo and damn... that was scary!

Even after the first minutes there was nothing out of ordinary but... then I was slowly dragged into the atmosphere and at one moment I realized my heart was beating quite fast... nicely done Frictional

There are a few things I want to mention: as others said that "thing" managed to get stuck in the environment.
Also, the heavy control when you're low on sanity is very well done.
At last there is one element that didn't seem right: I read almost all the blog entries and I understood that one of your goals was to minimize the trial-and-error because that would ruin the atmosphere. But unfortunately that is exactly what happened in the water level. After the first reload the whole tension that was built up until that moment was gone and I was left only to jump through the level. I hope there are only a few of these moments in the game because (in my opinion) they tend to ruin everything.

I'm very happy I pre-ordered Amnesia and I can't wait to play the game.

I think this really relies on the person. For me, I instantly hopped onto the box and understood what was happening and continued to hop along the boxes. My first try I got through it and didn't die. I think thats what the creators were hoping for and, for me at least, they achieved their goal!
