(In the context of the story, this is not actually far-fetched, and one hallucination effect involves smaller roaches crawling over the camera.) Another speculated that Daniel, an archaeologist, had visited the island and been so badly traumatized by the roaches that he started hallucinating them. “Did Alexander just happen to go on a trip to Madagascar, look at these and say ‘Aw, hell yes! I totally want a breeding pair of those!’” asked one baffled TVTropes poster. This fact has been noted with some confusion by Amnesia fans.
In other words, this clammy 19th century European castle is somehow specifically infested with a species of giant insect from the tropical jungles of Madagascar. If your character walks close to them, though, they hiss at you aggressively. They scurry endlessly around rooms with aimless determination, ricocheting off walls like slow-moving billiards. And the cockroaches? Let me explain.Īmnesia’s cockroaches are, at first glance, weirdly big but fairly unremarkable video game critters. Its freakout-inducing gameplay basically launched the career of the world’s biggest YouTube star. It’s full of familiar tricks that nonetheless make you jump constantly: snarling creatures that appear at a moment’s notice, a sanity system that torments you with phantom noises, and haunted house touches like banging doors and howling winds.
But while these games are plenty creepy, Amnesia still has an unparalleled and unabashed dedication to scares. I can promise you won't be disappointed.‘Amnesia’ has an unabashed dedication to scaresĪmnesia helped establish a whole subgenre of super-vulnerable survival horror, and it has several worthy successors, including Resident Evil VII and Frictional’s own Soma. If you are a fan of horror games, Amnesia: The Dark Descent is an essential game. As well as sounds and shocks, the story in Amnesia: The Dark Descent is disturbing, and learning the truth about Daniel's amnesia is horrifying enough even without the monsters and darkness. The tension and scares never let up and, unlike some horror games, the gameplay never gets in the way of the terror either. There are multiple endings to Amnesia: The Dark Descent, so you can play through more than once if you dare. The moans, screams and other effects really heighten your sense of dread and are beautifully timed for maximum effect. This can make Amnesia: The Dark Descent a very panicky game, as running blindly into the dark is exactly what you don't want to do! The graphics are dark and atmospheric, but its the sound that makes Amnesia: The Dark Descent truly horrifying. Daniel can't fight the monsters he encounters, and if he fails to avoid them, he must run away into the darkness to hide.
