If you manage to piece together the story of the game you’ll be left confused and wondering, “Is that it?” until you play their DLC or all of the endings within the game, or do as I did, and look it up. I won’t go too deep into spoilers in case you plan on playing, but that’s the basic gist of the game. There is no way to fight back against any of your foes, instead, it is a game of cat and mouse. There are monsters, a fleshy substance, and a creature known as the shadow who follow you around the castle trying to kill you. To keep your innocence you made yourself forget all the horrors that had become onto the castle and the people who had lived inside there. The basic story is this: Your name is Daniel and you are exploring an evil castle where you and a person named Alexander did unspeakable things in.
I had to look up the plot after playing the game just so I could fully understand what had happened. However, if you miss any notes or if any of your memories are interrupted by monsters, you will surely miss some of that plot as I had. Personally, from my experience, I noticed that there was a simple plot that was revealed through notes as you went through the game, and the memories you remembered also gave insight into that plot. Your first time playing the game I’m willing to bet that the story doesn’t make too much sense to you. Now I know what some people are thinking, didn’t you just say that the story was received to be amazing? Yes, I did say that, and I think that those claims are coming from diehard fans of Amnesia.

Since then it has blown up in popularity due to the rise of Youtube.

Now we can build on that to make horror games better than ever before. The horror genre can’t be that far behind. The past few years has seen a great rise in excellent narrative experiences with the likes of To the Moon and Gone Home. The build-up, narrative, and scenarios you place the player in are really what makes a game scary or not.”
“Unless you are after some very cheap scares, crafting good horror is not something that can be done by adjusting a few knobs. I feel there was a very strong desire in those games to go beyond the more primal, and into more deeper horror. The dual worlds of Silent Hill, Fatal Frame’s camera, Forbidden Siren’s sight-jacking, and so on. If you look at the golden age of console horror games in the late 1990s and early 2000s, there’s a lot of really interesting approaches going on. “There has been very little innovation in terms of interesting systems and themes. Every few years we seem to be left in a state where we’re waiting for a game to come around and revolutionize things, at least for a short time. I mentioned before how many games in the horror genre simply tend to borrow off one another. Fatal Frame V : Does nobody ever say, “It’s behind you,” in Japan?
