The twists and turns that come into Tasi's tale lack the same punch to the gut as Daniel's had in Amnesia: The Dark Descent. The downside to Amnesia: Rebirth is that, for as fun and terrifying as it is, none of it is as interesting or as scary as its predecessor. This may be creepy but not as disturbing as the developers think it is In other words, you get the sense that Tasi is a woman who (quite literally) crashed into a horrific situation. As a result, you're a bit more invested in seeing her get out of the situation alive as opposed to some other horror game characters who might be asking for it. This is further helped by the fact that Tasi is an otherwise sympathetic protagonist as she's a little bit on the unmemorable side but you get an overall sense that she and the other characters definitely don't deserve what's happening to them. If nothing else, this is all sure to get your heart racing as you take each step while discovering the world's dark secrets.
When you finally encounter monsters, it feels like the cherry on top of a heart attack sundae. Some of Amnesia: Rebirth's scariest moments are when you see something ahead of you that looks slightly off and the suspense is beyond nerve-racking before discovering what it actually is.
How can we reach our destination with a compass that doesn't even point north? This is helped by the environment designs that may be seemingly mundane yet are all crafted to create a strong sense of unease. You're never entirely sure what awaits you around any corner and as your fear increases, you never know exactly when it will cause you to black out and lose your progress.

Walking a short distance in a cave can be just as terrifying as a walk through a hall full of monsters thanks to the lighting and subtle sound effects which constantly instill a feeling of dread. You can go hours without encountering a single monster yet the atmosphere still manages to keep you on the edge of your seat in a state of constant suspense. If there's one thing that Amnesia: Rebirth has going for it, it's that it creates a constant atmosphere of tension and unease. Along the way, you discover what became of your team, why Tasi can't remember anything, and the story behind the horrific creatures that caused the crash. You awaken only to find that a significant amount of time has passed and you begin to follow the trail that Tasi's companions left behind during their initial journey from the wreckage. Unfortunately, en route to her destination, their plane crashes under mysterious circumstances. You play as Anastasie "Tasi" Trianon who is making her way to colonial Africa for an expedition with her team and husband Salim. v1d30chumz 194-143-137-78 Even the shortest distances feel dreadfulĪmnesia: Rebirth takes place roughly 100 years after the events of The Dark Descent. After 10 long years, we finally have a direct sequel to the game that started it all. It would ultimately take the industry a few more years for a few other similar games to be released which revived gamers' faith in horror games and the foundation was arguably set with Amnesia: The Dark Descent. So much as looking at them could kill you which felt like a giant middle finger to other survival horror games of the time like Resident Evil 5 and even the first Dead Space to a certain extent. This was a game with scares that came from its atmosphere and didn't even give you an option to fight back against its monsters. In an age when publishers were slowly veering their franchises away from traditional survival horror games into more action horror formulas, the first Amnesia was something that stood out as truly unique. It's hard to put into perspective how important Amnesia: The Dark Descent was to the entire horror video game genre. │ One of Video Chums' core principles is "it's better to be late and thorough than it is to be early and misinformed".
