In the Cistern if Daniel idles again too long, it blocks the original route of escape with its fleshy residue however, it will create a bridge on the other side that enables escape.Any reluctance on the young man's part to defy Alexander's expectations enrages the "relatively-patient" guardian. Why does the guardian want Daniel to stop Alexander? Its fleshy matter manifesting behind Daniel like an Advancing Wall of Doom can only signify the entity is not "hunting" but forcing him to go forward, its advancements remind him there is no turning back from this dark descent. If Daniel leaves the cell, its spread stops immediately, averting a bad ending. It eventually loses patience if Daniel stands idle, and doesn't leave. When Daniel gets imprisoned in the Cells, the Shadow gives him plenty of time to escape.Only turning on the baron makes it happy again. To this Lovecraftian-like being, the notion of being banished by its own Human Pet, enraged it. Seeking Alexander's help pissed this nightmarish entity off, nothing much else.True the man was a Walking Wasteland, but stayed in the same area for 25 days and the guardian didn't attack him. Then something very large tried to take him away, before raising him up and putting Daniel back onto ship. Heck Daniel was once spellbound by dreams, fell overboard from the SS Hortensia headed for London.

At my age, I don't have enough free time to not make progress with a game, each time I play. It wasn't fun and soon moved from scary to frustrating. The second just ended with me blundering into the creature over and over again and getting killed. The first, using water to show where the creature was at least made sense, (as in, I could see where my goal was). I gave up at the second major one, which I understand is about halfway through the game. Where the game lost me though, was in the encounters with the creatures. The puzzles were basic stuff, mostly fetch quests or combining items like in a point and click adventure. I liked the visual effects that occur as Daniel takes psychological damage, with the screen becoming blurry and distorted until you can find some light, it reminded me of seminal Gamecube game "Eternal Darkness". Visually the game was fine, using a basic engine to generate the house and its contents and with enough physics to allow you to throw the items around. Though I didn't play it as the developers intended, i.e in the dark, with headphones on, I did get a sense of the superlative sound design that makes the game so compelling. There was a lot to like about "Amnesia: The Dark Descent". Soon though, Daniel discovers that he is not alone in the catacombs.

Solving simple puzzles along the way, Daniel is increasingly psychologically attacked by unseen noises and movement in the dark - with only candlelight or a lantern to provide the release of the truth. Awakening in a seemingly abandoned stately home, you play Daniel, who has amnesia and must explore, finding notes that fill in the details of what has occurred there. Though I can see the quality of the game, it's just not one for me.

This years was a long awaited go at "Amnesia: The Dark Descent" with the PS4 re-release that was a Playstation Plus game a few years back. Every so often, I like to try a horror game to see if my palette for them has changed at all.
