Not too big of a fan of this Amnesia entry.
TL;DR: not the best story (SOMA) or horror (The Dark Descent), I don't know what they ended up going for here ultimately.
The monsters do instill a sense of horror and anxiety when they are in your area but ultimately they look goofy and even if you die to them u just backtrack a few paces so it's not a big deal.
The lantern and matches lasting no longer than I do in bed are more annoying than scary. I do recall times when I was scared of the atmosphere and the darkness but eventually you get used to the mechanic and just deal with spamming WASD and moving your mouse frantically at 10,000 dpi to avoid being consumed by the fear.
However, the choices at the end were nice. There are 3 of them, 1 of them is absolutely ass, ain't no bitch getting my baby. The 2nd one is kinda just to piss off the ghost lady cuz you ultimately become a problem for everyone else and I'm okay with that. The 3rd one where you completely obliterate the immortal ghost lady and her inflated ego is the best, I mean, u and ur baby fking die but at least it's an honorable death.
The voice acting was decent, can't recall any highlights but it wasn't bad or mediocre.
Paying a homage to The Dark Descent with Herbert, Daniel, Alexander, The Shadow, Algeria, and The Orb was cool. Having the story fleshed out there was nice.
I'm gonna go watch some lore videos cuz I only read 60% of the tablets and entries so I'm missing out something probably.
I'll update this guide if anything cool was there, otherwise 2.5/5, you should probably skip this one.
