The former forces the player to make themselves visible to potential enemies: skulking around in the shadows can cause the character to become momentarily disabled, thus removing it as a low-risk option for navigating the monster-strewn passages.ДЄs for the second, the fact that you canвЂ™t look at enemies for too long means that, quite simply, you donвЂ™t. You could lose sanity from two things: standing in the darkness or staring at a monster. While IвЂ™m not a great fan of mental health-related terminology being used for horror, the way sanity worked in AmnesiaВ was nothing less than brilliant. It wasnвЂ™t the first game to do this, but it was the first to bring that style of gameplay into the limelight through a combination of luck and good game design.ДЇor me, AmnesiaвЂs biggest game-changer was its sanity meter. Even psychological horror masterpiece Silent HillВ still used combat as a major part of its game design.ДЄmnesiaВ wrenched weapons from its players hands, taking away even the minute amount of safety they might have offered. It wasnвЂ™t the first game to do a creeping, tense horror that took your weapons from you вЂ“ even AmnesiaВ developers Frictional Games had released a similar game before with Penumbra.Д«ut by and large the big hitters of the genres were games like Resident Evil, F.E.A.RВ and Dead Space, which were more about shooting the scary bad guys than hiding from them. On is release in 2010, AmnesiaВ really changed the idea of what horror could be. And then those elements that were so typically AmnesiaВ started turning up in other games. AmnesiaвЂs tense game of hide and seek provided a thrill of adrenaline like no other I had experienced before, and I was hooked.Д«ut no other game really came close, at least not at that point, so I replayed AmnesiaВ until even the most terrifying moments were so familiar they couldnвЂ™t shock me anymore. IвЂ™m petrified at the thought of it, but I donвЂ™t want to seem like a wimp so I go along with it.Дў4 hours later we emerge: shaking, triumphant, changed for good.

A friend asks if I want to play AmnesiaВ with her.
