Sometimes you'll need an object to solve puzzles, like using a hammer for example, but you can't use one of the several hammers you find lying around, or a rock for that matter, you need that one specific hammer you find in some other part of the map. For example, during the entire game you need to keep close to light sources to keep your sanity up, but you can't just grab one of the thousands of candles or torches you find along the way, you need to use a lamp that burns oil extremely fast or keep lighting the candles with tinderboxes. Amnesia is particularly chock-full with video game logic. Now, it's been a year since I played a game and I kinda had forgotten already how much video game logic there is in video games. The gameplay is pretty much exploration/stealth on one side and puzzles on the other. It's entertaining because they didn't bloat it with any unnecessary fluff nor stretch it to pretend there's more than it actually is. The story is fairly simple and straight forward, though you have to reach the end to realize that. Everything this game does, it does it in an very brief, nice length measure, both with its story as well as with its gameplay. Here's where the magic of this game happens however. As far as the story goes, it has a few nice ideas here and there but overall it's nothing too new or exciting. You spend the entire game exploring the castle, its secrets, finding notes and letters that reveal more about the curse, the object, yourself and everything else. A baron named Alexander writes back saying he can help and Daniel should go to his castle in Germany at once. The object is 'cursed' though, which prompts him to write letters to geologists, historians and anyone in Europe for help.

It's the mid 1800s and you play as Daniel, a guy who went on an expedition in Africa and found something in a forgotten, ancient catacomb. Horror is a favorite genre of mine in any media and this is a game I wanted to play for a long, long time now but several reasons, from depression to not giving a shit about games anymore, kept getting in the way. So I finished Amnesia Dark Descent yesterday. Thread for games you managed to finish and your thoughts on it.
