+DrearierSpider1 That's why I really enjoyed Alien Isolation, it takes actual inspiration from Amnesia instead of being a cheap knockoff with scripted jump scares.
Finally got to play this recently, and this game really is a good example of how good horror is all about oppressive ambiance, rather than just throwing "spooky" monsters at you constantly. It uses monsters as a threat, not as an obstacle, and uses them just often enough to make each encounter an event rather than throwing so much at you as to dull the impact. Good reviewing, sir, and nice intro!
I feel like they could have used the encounters more sparingly.The game has a nice buildup, but later on, it becomes very predicable when a monster will spawn.Complete a task- monster, explore a bit of a new area, turn an unknown corner- monster.It's a bit cheap and the fact that the monsters do not look scary at all doesn't help the cause.
i got the collection and havent played it yet .... seems like typical puzzles and whats so scary besides a jump scare its not like there is much that can kill you right? i played layers of fear ( the first one) and i thought it was the dumbest thing i ever played cause its a walking simulator and the fact i knew i couldnt die made it not scary not even a tiny bit .... i hope this game isnt like that stupid shit
so yea i hope this game has more shit that can come after you cause the atmosphere alone doesnt scare me cause layers of fear is stupid as fuck its literally a walking sim and you cant be touched what a joke that game was
There's only one part that got me so bad, I started laughing. It's a part many have experienced, where you're in the prison, and you hear the monster, and you get scared and try to hide in one of the cells. You open the door, enter, close it behind you, just to find out the monster was in the same cell which you just entered the entire time. Lol. 😅
I went into the cell across from it on my first play (cause I knew it spawned in the other one) and it somehow ended up spawning in the other cell I hid in 😂 I dropped my controller from how hard I jumped after it hit me
The best ingredient for a horror game is paranoia and Amnesia constantly feeds you that stuff. It creeps you out from the inside and builds upon that fear of the unknown, remember paranoia is key to longevity.
One of my favourite games ever. I agree that the AI of the enemies isn't great, but the game was so scary that it just didn't matter. It's the only game that ever managed to scare me to the bone. It has my utmost respect for that. Great review.
Lol I was searching for a review of this game, and then I checked your channel and you had one uploaded. This synergy we have, it's why ur my favourite reviewer man
+Gggmanlives It would be nice to see this game reviewed by someone who knows and appreciates doom as one should, such as yourself, to bring back those memories and also forgettable technicalities of this game.
2:29 scared the absolute SHIT out of me when I first played through this game. I was so comfortable opening those desks that I never gave them a second thought and felt very safe when opening them. But then BOOM! that shit tumbles out and I lost it.
I am actually happy so many people played it here. It generated some good money for Frictional for sure, which is well deserved, which made possible Soma, which has to be one of greatest gaming experiences for me in the past few years.
Great review as usual. I tweeted at you about Underhell and with this being Halloween season I really am looking forward to the possibility of you reviewing it for the mod corner! Thanks again!
Just finished replaying the game yesterday. Good god, even now that I know every inch of the game like the back of my hand, it STILL manages to get me. That's how much of a masterpiece this horror game is. Eagerly looking forward to Amnesia: Rebirth.
There are actually two different enemy types not counting the water monster. The sewn up cadavers mentioned in the video are Grunts, but there are also Brutes. Brutes are more ominous sounding, and you can hear them dragging their metal arm across the ground when they're searching for you.
Actually Amnesia has 4 types of enemies, 3 of which function the same anyways, also when your sanity is low, Daniel (the player) starts saying things which makes it easier for enemies to find you.
SUCH a fucking awesome review compared to every other one currently on youtube. Bravo! Although I kind of wish I didn't know the iron maiden was gonna suddenly open, cause I don't think it added a lot to the video and it took away (a little) from the gameplay.
Just replayed the game and IMO there is no other horror game that compares to Amnesia TDD it is so much like being trapped in a nightmare you just feel so exposed and vulnerable. Nothing examplifies this as the choir main hall for some reason my graphics were off and more blurry and I could not see anything and I had to navigate by sound. Also this area the mechanics are different the monster does not despawn it patrols until you pass it like in the sewer. Not many horror movies or games gets to me these days but running around in that area not seeing anything just hearing those groans..........It got to me !!! A masterpiece
"A horribly depressing and dark gameworld where you uncover this sinister and cruel backstory while you become more and more immersed in your surroundings" Umm this is a pretty good description of my life actually...
This is my favorite horror game to date. It's creepy and eerie thanks to the sounds and lighting. It has some jump scares but doesn't rely on them, making it a good horror experience.
+Salokin Sekwah I had a friend of a friend killed on school camp by a dropbear. Well he actually survived for a week in hospital missing his legs and an arm. Nasty way to go, poor guy. He was only 14 too, had his whole life ahead of him.
Always wished Amnesia had similar insanity side effects as presented in Eternal Darkness on the Gamecube, but nontheless it is the epitome of a properly made horror title. Never finished that son of a bitch.
Gggmanlives yes I’m a dipshit and I pulled the criticize before watching the whole video maneuver. I heard what happens with your memories and what you try to do in the game and I figured that after that you’d follow with everything else. Sorry. I’m gonna delete this comment sometime to avoid shame.
Apparently this game is supposed to be scary but It doesn’t scare me, that’s not me trying to sound tough or something but the ai was really easy to mess with. If you don’t want to know how stop reading because this ruined the game for me. Just wait, or throw yourself at the monster and get yourself killed once, they will disappear after that because of what I presume to be a bug. But the game was incredibly atmospheric and I loved it regardless, the best part for me was the last third of the game.
I respect your opinions but I really have to disagree with you on this one, I think the puzzles are mediocre and the monsters are just embarrassing (except the water monster, which is scary as hell.) A huge percentage of these puzzles are carbon copies of Penumbra puzzles, and some of the scares with the ambience are even recycled. The Gatherers just suck imo though, since they can always despawn there is no real threat and waiting for them to leave becomes incredibly tedious. It's still a good game though, the story is good, the characters are brilliant, the sound design is amazing, the OST is great, and the mods are to die for. I just think it shouldn't be called one of the best horror games of all time. Penumbra was far better imo, most of the innovations credited to Amnesia are actually seen first in Penumbra Black Plague.
Excellent review as usual. Good to hear we'll be doing more horror. I think Frictional Games will always make these amazing games, or at least they will make games that will ehtier be ok, bad or the best. Like COD, theyll be good or bad but will all be the same. Hey, since in November i will be starting reviewing things myself, due to inspiration from other people and yourself, it would be amazing if we could get in touch and i can discuss what its like reviewing, to speak to someone who's got this shit right down!
Penumbra is opposite, it isn't scary and after you get used to it the game is just empty and cold. The dogs aren't difficult to deal with, spiders aren't scary at all and the rock worms can be fucked with. But the puzzle I best remmeber is the one where you had to learn morse code to unlock a gate. Now I haven't played the second Penumbra game so don't jump one me.
i love the new Halloween intro,also are you going to upload more horror game reviews for this month? could be a nice idea to make a halloween theme like thing
The entire time while I was playing this game, I got a familiar feeling that reminded me of Bioshock for some reason. Something about the art design just reminds me of rapture.
I played this game because a friend of mine wanted to watch it but was too afraid to play it. I remember this one time that the monster showed at the top of a stair case and Instead of being quiet and calm I paniced and started running thinking I could find a door to shut in front of it or something. Here was the kicker: I never saw the monster up close before because I was always diligent at hiding, so when I finally turned around while (in my mind, knowing how good I was at multiplayer shooters) changing to running backwards, all I saw was a deformed creature eating my face. We both screamed quite loud. My Ex-GF could never handle horror well. If she ever wants me back, Ill tell her ok if she can finish Amnesia, on a single sit, on VR :D. Btw, Tried outlast?
Ggg you should consider reviewing Riddick Escape from Butcher Bay, it really fits your channel. plus it is fairly short it wont take you long to beat it. i know you must have a very long list, im just throwing it out there. btw you are awesome
This game is worth playing because of its legacy as well as it’s overall quality. It pretty much launched the Let’s Play genre into the mainstream by propelling PewDiePie’s career as a UA-camr. Being a retarded pewdiepie worshipping 11 year old at the time I remember my first time playing amnesia and how scared I was to enter the next room. I never got around to finishing the main story until maybe 2014, until then I played and even tried to create custom stories. I’m actually still waiting on the release of a custom story I’ve been following for years called “The Hands resist Him”, probably not coming out tho, which is a shame since it was really far into development and looked amazing.
Just got the Amnesia collection (3 games) on PS4 for free! These games are free until next month on the playstation store. 30$ value for free. Awesome.
I heard of this a game a few times but was never really interested. But yesterday I saw it on sale so I was like eh I’ll try it out, so far I’ve played only about an hour of it (I’m at the part right before you go to the wine cellar, no spoilers please I know next to nothing about the game because I didn’t watch any of those keys plays) but so far it’s pretty amazing, I’m loving it
Yet another interesting review Ggmanlives.I personally never finished it. XD #2spooky5me XD 4:30 Yeah it was that Mooseman in the sewers.I passed through,climbed up the ladder,saved the game and never came back. XD 3:13 It's not bugs.He's popping wrappers. XD
Great review sunny Jim! Have this on my steam library for a while but havnt started due to trying to finish that backlog..but this review got me interested to.play this soon.Will you be reviewing Project Zero/Fatal Frame 2 for the horror series?
I don't understand, like yeah the game is damn scary, i can attest, but so scary that you actually scream?....like, out loud? at most you'd go AH FUCK! out loud or panic and hit escape and gtfo but scream? why? ...How? seriously How do you do that? i don't get it.
I'm having performance issues... my gpu is at 50% on the highest core and my gpu is a gtx 1060 6gb, overclocked. I don't know how to fix it. Anybody has had such a problem?
Admittedly, I should've shied away from any videos of this masterpiece on UA-cam. I did enjoy watching people playing the game, but it ended up spoiling the experience. Plus, all that information on the Amnesia Wiki (while helpfully informative) also helped to spoil the experience. That's all my fault, however. I still ended up thoroughly enjoying my 11 playthroughs of this game, and it actually managed to give me nightmares. On my latest playthrough, it actually took me _two weeks_ to gain up the courage to replay the "Choir: Main Hall" area. Those 8-or-so Servant Brutes were genuinely terrifying to me.
I have a couple of questions about your editing. What mic & recording software do you use and do you record the entire game and trim bits out or do you just record sections of it?
+Papa Ted Hey mate good question. I use a Blue Yeti mic and record with either Shadowplay or Fraps. Usually Shadowplay. I record segments of the game, normally the related material to what I talk about in the video.
+Gggmanlives Thanks. It's just I noticed your videos have great audio, your voice is crystal clear and you edit really well. Ive been recording using share factory on ps4 but I want to get into more PC and other console games. What capture card do you use for your PS3?
this was first game like this i ever played when it came out and the only game to make me scream and throw my headphones across the room, my Mrs never let me love that one down
This is an eternal classic game, I always went back into the game and fucked around with the monster, yes monster not monster's, you DO encounter two others but they are level specific, and the point he didn't touch on was how fantastic they set the game up, what I mean is that they hold your hand just long enough for you to fully get how to deal with the game so it isn't too difficult or confusing too fast, and the game is BIG also, tons of areas where you're scarily creeping around balancing sanity and your OWN sanity by carefully looking around and marking potential hiding spots, there isn't a huge replay factor but you can have your own fun messing around, plus there are different story endings but they don't require you to start the whole game over which is nice, the biggest point he missed is that anybody whose a gamer can play this, it can be done by anybody similar to mario64 it has hard spots but not frustrating parts which is a huge difference :) don't forget to sit your girlfriend down and have her play too, and your mom and sisters and all other friends because you really get sucked into it so you can watch their actions it can be pretty funny, never give them too many clues!
There's actually 2 enemy types if we don't include the Kaernk (That water fucker). The Gatherer types are the Grunts (the weirdos with the fucked up mouth that can twoshot you) and the Brutes (the fuckers that have their head split down the center and instead of a claw they attack you with a blade, these can easily oneshot you if they get a crit on you).
I love alien isolation, outlast and slender the arrival, dead space, stalker, half life, but i can't say the same for Amnesia ggmanlives sorry to say but this isn't as scary as some players say. Too much poltergeist stuff happends in the early game, and im not a big fan of puzzles. I got till the invisible monster at water level where you can't stay in water too long. I made it at the last door only to see that the damn door needs a key to unlock, nearly dead no health potions im done with this game, not even once i was scared in this game. The sanity thing sounds good on paper but in gameplay it sucks you need to say in light for a few minutes to regain it, and that just brakes the game for me. I know im not far in the game but if jumpscares are the only scarry part of the game then count me out ,there are other horror games like dead space that uses jump scares but at least it has a decent story and lots of gameplay mechanics. Outlast is better in every way ,the comparison is fair cus outlast too is a idie develper. Its more scary, more fun to play, better story, better graphics. I really wanted to like Amnesia Dark Decent, but when you finish a long puzzle and the final door requires a key to unlock with not much life left and a monster that kills you in 2-3 hits when life is full, its just more annoying that ever. It fails to introduce that walking corpse the first time it appear it was so short i couln't see what the hell it looks like ,barely seen him a few seconds then it disappeared. Very disappointed for "the scariest game ever made"
I haven't gotten it spoiled quite yet so I'm really looking foreword these games as well as penumbra , as I've bought them but get really very scared and end up uninstalling them in the process
Gggmanlives In what way? In spoiling the plot to the viewer, or by being loud and obnoxious? I can certainly understand the latter, but it's really a matter of personal preference. Some prefer a UA-camr's commentary over the actual game's atmosphere.
regardless of whether it came out before or after the trend, it still has become one of the go to games for all of these markiplier and pewdiepie clones.
That makes no sense. It's not like you HAVE to watch the play throughs. Especially if you're gonna play it, you're gonna avoid it anyway. It's very simple. Play a game, and judge it for yourself. The play-throughs are just material for UA-camrs. This has "I hate pewdiepie that's why I'm complaining" written all over it
Sanna What's so hard to understand? A lot of these FP horror games don't have huge marketing budgets and rely on UA-camrs to hype their games, but then the people who end up watching these UA-camrs don't get to play the game for themselves. I don't know how else to explain it to you.
The atmosphere is off the charts in this game, and there's actual fucking game mechanics too unlike a lot of Amnesia's clones.
+DrearierSpider1 That's why I really enjoyed Alien Isolation, it takes actual inspiration from Amnesia instead of being a cheap knockoff with scripted jump scares.
+Zen Leaf PT is kinda depressing now honestly, why did they cancel Silent hills?
+Zen Leaf well honestly they're going to make more millions off of their pachinko machines. It sucks but gambling is a massive business.
+Zen Leaf Ahahahaha no.
yeah, it doesn't rely on jumpscares unlike fnaf (fnaf is a jumpscare fest) AND it actually has an interesting story.
Finally got to play this recently, and this game really is a good example of how good horror is all about oppressive ambiance, rather than just throwing "spooky" monsters at you constantly. It uses monsters as a threat, not as an obstacle, and uses them just often enough to make each encounter an event rather than throwing so much at you as to dull the impact. Good reviewing, sir, and nice intro!
I feel like they could have used the encounters more sparingly.The game has a nice buildup, but later on, it becomes very predicable when a monster will spawn.Complete a task- monster, explore a bit of a new area, turn an unknown corner- monster.It's a bit cheap and the fact that the monsters do not look scary at all doesn't help the cause.
This is just the indie horror right ? But best
i got the collection and havent played it yet .... seems like typical puzzles and whats so scary besides a jump scare its not like there is much that can kill you right? i played layers of fear ( the first one) and i thought it was the dumbest thing i ever played cause its a walking simulator and the fact i knew i couldnt die made it not scary not even a tiny bit .... i hope this game isnt like that stupid shit
so yea i hope this game has more shit that can come after you cause the atmosphere alone doesnt scare me cause layers of fear is stupid as fuck its literally a walking sim and you cant be touched what a joke that game was

Eternal Darkness had the best sanity/Insanity effects. It made you lose your mind for real.
I strongly believe that this is the best horror game ever created. No contest.
for me it's Soma, but i think we can just agree that Frictional games are just the best

Nice video. i like the commentary
"imagine her response when she realized it was a 6 foot tall manchild screaming at a videogame."
"Like a BITCH, Sunny Jim"
Why do people feel the need to scream like that?
Penumbra is opposite, it isn't scary and after you get used to it the game is just empty and cold. The dogs aren't difficult to deal with, spiders aren't scary at all and the rock worms can be fucked with.
But the puzzle I best remmeber is the one where you had to learn morse code to unlock a gate.

Just got the Amnesia collection (3 games) on PS4 for free! These games are free until next month on the playstation store. 30$ value for free. Awesome.
Will you review the Penumbra games?
I heard of this a game a few times but was never really interested. But yesterday I saw it on sale so I was like eh I’ll try it out, so far I’ve played only about an hour of it (I’m at the part right before you go to the wine cellar, no spoilers please I know next to nothing about the game because I didn’t watch any of those keys plays) but so far it’s pretty amazing, I’m loving it
Great review! Actually it does make me want to play Amnesia again and get actual proper headphones for it.
Bugs scratching around in your head? I always thought that that sound was Daniel grinding his teeth.
Yet another interesting review Ggmanlives.I personally never finished it. XD #2spooky5me XD
4:30 Yeah it was that Mooseman in the sewers.I passed through,climbed up the ladder,saved the game and never came back. XD
3:13 It's not bugs.He's popping wrappers. XD
Great review sunny Jim! Have this on my steam library for a while but havnt started due to trying to finish that backlog..but this review got me interested to.play this soon.Will you be reviewing Project Zero/Fatal Frame 2 for the horror series?
Make yourself a favor. Play SOMA! Such a brilliant game!
And btw, great review. Subscribed...
Good review of one of my favorite games!
I don't understand, like yeah the game is damn scary, i can attest, but so scary that you actually scream?....like, out loud? at most you'd go AH FUCK! out loud or panic and hit escape and gtfo but scream? why? ...How? seriously How do you do that? i don't get it.
Play this in a dark room
only game to ever make me feel my heartbeat in my face!
I got this free on Steam :) Yet to finish it but I love the atmosphere in this game.
I'm having performance issues... my gpu is at 50% on the highest core and my gpu is a gtx 1060 6gb, overclocked. I don't know how to fix it. Anybody has had such a problem?
Awaiting the Cryostasis: Sleep of Reason.
Ya
+Stoudemire Ang seconded
At about 00:50 the story reminds me of Painkiller especially when the guy is named Daniel.
Can I ask what does the gggman stand for?
+Vítězslav Ureš It's a mystery no one knows.
+Gggmanlives Just like how bungie got it's name and the location of the coca-cola formula.
+Rhodanos, Erbe des Universums Good Guy G-man?
Great Great Game :3
And just like the mystery about Jim, yeah I‘m talking about you Sunny Jim you jiphead
can't wait for the next horror game review ;D
hey would you consider reviewing penumbra: overture and black plague?
1:05. It IS called "short term memory loss dark descent", that's what amnesia is.
You should review every resident evil game this month, that would be pretty neat. And btw, did you review this game cause it was free ;)
I always loved this game, when i was younger i watched pewdiepie play this (custom stories)
Where's that song in the intro from?
Admittedly, I should've shied away from any videos of this masterpiece on UA-cam. I did enjoy watching people playing the game, but it ended up spoiling the experience. Plus, all that information on the Amnesia Wiki (while helpfully informative) also helped to spoil the experience. That's all my fault, however. I still ended up thoroughly enjoying my 11 playthroughs of this game, and it actually managed to give me nightmares. On my latest playthrough, it actually took me _two weeks_ to gain up the courage to replay the "Choir: Main Hall" area. Those 8-or-so Servant Brutes were genuinely terrifying to me.
I know it isn't first person, but is a resident evil 1 review possible?
He said no a few comments down :(
He did it!
I have a couple of questions about your editing. What mic & recording software do you use and do you record the entire game and trim bits out or do you just record sections of it?
+Papa Ted Hey mate good question. I use a Blue Yeti mic and record with either Shadowplay or Fraps. Usually Shadowplay. I record segments of the game, normally the related material to what I talk about in the video.
+Gggmanlives Thanks. It's just I noticed your videos have great audio, your voice is crystal clear and you edit really well. Ive been recording using share factory on ps4 but I want to get into more PC and other console games. What capture card do you use for your PS3?
Papa Ted
Avermedia Capture HD
this was first game like this i ever played when it came out and the only game to make me scream and throw my headphones across the room, my Mrs never let me love that one down
This is an eternal classic game, I always went back into the game and fucked around with the monster, yes monster not monster's, you DO encounter two others but they are level specific, and the point he didn't touch on was how fantastic they set the game up, what I mean is that they hold your hand just long enough for you to fully get how to deal with the game so it isn't too difficult or confusing too fast, and the game is BIG also, tons of areas where you're scarily creeping around balancing sanity and your OWN sanity by carefully looking around and marking potential hiding spots, there isn't a huge replay factor but you can have your own fun messing around, plus there are different story endings but they don't require you to start the whole game over which is nice, the biggest point he missed is that anybody whose a gamer can play this, it can be done by anybody similar to mario64 it has hard spots but not frustrating parts which is a huge difference :) don't forget to sit your girlfriend down and have her play too, and your mom and sisters and all other friends because you really get sucked into it so you can watch their actions it can be pretty funny, never give them too many clues!
Hey can you tell us your PC specs? I always see games looking very pretty on your rig, my pc has a i7 something something and a GTX 770
+yonatan brosh i7, 16gb ram 780ti
+Gggmanlives thank you
"Like an absolute bitch, Sunny Jim!" :D
There's actually 2 enemy types if we don't include the Kaernk (That water fucker). The Gatherer types are the Grunts (the weirdos with the fucked up mouth that can twoshot you) and the Brutes (the fuckers that have their head split down the center and instead of a claw they attack you with a blade, these can easily oneshot you if they get a crit on you).
#ProductionValues intro
I love alien isolation, outlast and slender the arrival, dead space, stalker, half life, but i can't say the same for Amnesia ggmanlives sorry to say but this isn't as scary as some players say.
Too much poltergeist stuff happends in the early game, and im not a big fan of puzzles.
I got till the invisible monster at water level where you can't stay in water too long.
I made it at the last door only to see that the damn door needs a key to unlock, nearly dead no health potions im done with this game, not even once i was scared in this game.
The sanity thing sounds good on paper but in gameplay it sucks you need to say in light for a few minutes to regain it, and that just brakes the game for me.
I know im not far in the game but if jumpscares are the only scarry part of the game then count me out ,there are other horror games like dead space that uses jump scares but at least it has a decent story and lots of gameplay mechanics.
Outlast is better in every way ,the comparison is fair cus outlast too is a idie develper.
Its more scary, more fun to play, better story, better graphics.
I really wanted to like Amnesia Dark Decent, but when you finish a long puzzle and the final door requires a key to unlock with not much life left and a monster that kills you in 2-3 hits when life is full, its just more annoying that ever.
It fails to introduce that walking corpse the first time it appear it was so short i couln't see what the hell it looks like ,barely seen him a few seconds then it disappeared.
Very disappointed for "the scariest game ever made"
Does someone knows how many games use Amnesia at some point of the story?
+GamerRoman LOL there's no point in trying to count that.
I played alien isolation which I absolutely loved. Was recommended this game and currently about half way through the first. Awesome so far
I haven't gotten it spoiled quite yet so I'm really looking foreword these games as well as penumbra , as I've bought them but get really very scared and end up uninstalling them in the process
Why is having lots of UA-camrs play it a bad thing?
+Colin G They spoil the entire game.
Gggmanlives
In what way? In spoiling the plot to the viewer, or by being loud and obnoxious?
I can certainly understand the latter, but it's really a matter of personal preference. Some prefer a UA-camr's commentary over the actual game's atmosphere.
Colin G
Both.
+Gggmanlives Then don't watch their videos if your don't want it to be spoiled? what the fuck
Sanna
Why are you defending shithead UA-camrs?
Great review
I think calling Amnesia UA-camr bait is a little unfair; This game was released before this trend kicked in.
+Unraveler He didn't call it UA-cam bait.
regardless of whether it came out before or after the trend, it still has become one of the go to games for all of these markiplier and pewdiepie clones.
+Charlie To0 Human Yet you can't blame the creators for releasing the game on that purpose.
He never blamed the creators, he just stated that it is the ideal example of youtube bait, which it is.
Why is it ruined by UA-cam players? I don't get it. How does that affect how good a game is??
+Sanna Because they play through the entire game and people watch their videos instead of experiencing it for themselves.
That makes no sense. It's not like you HAVE to watch the play throughs. Especially if you're gonna play it, you're gonna avoid it anyway. It's very simple. Play a game, and judge it for yourself. The play-throughs are just material for UA-camrs. This has "I hate pewdiepie that's why I'm complaining" written all over it
Sanna
I explained myself, you don't have to like what I said. And sure I hate PDP, anyone with half a brain can see how asinine he is.
Your explanation makes no sense, though.
Sanna
What's so hard to understand? A lot of these FP horror games don't have huge marketing budgets and rely on UA-camrs to hype their games, but then the people who end up watching these UA-camrs don't get to play the game for themselves.
I don't know how else to explain it to you.
the chancel and choir near the end of the game aaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAA
oh what a day what a lovely day
The most hard part for me to complete was the Prision Stage Damn i get lost Like 9 times in that part.
