Amnesia: The Dark Descent
Video games love to play tricks on your perceived sanity, and Amnesia: The Dark Descent is no exception. Players control protagonist Daniel as he’s forced to explore the dark, harrowing halls of the Prussian Brennenburg Castle without a shred of memories about why he’s there, who he is, or what his story is. He can only remember his name and that something is hunting him—but what?
Throughout the dark, inky blackness of the castle and the terror waiting around every corner, Daniel must keep his cool to avoid monsters, which will chase him recklessly to track him down. It may sound like a demented game of hide and seek, but it’s more than that: it’s a race to regain Daniel’s peace of mind, and probably your own, after the game’s over.
