I challenge anyone to play this in the dark and with a proper set of cans. And ALONE!
How will I even complete this title!
Is it really this scary? I cant believe that a video game can scare people this much, but I haven't tried such a game either so let me try this one outronnie_gogs said:Dont try it .... you dont want to end up in Surat Mental Hospital do you

@ronnie: hell no! But yeah I am going to play this title come what may. Will give it a shot tomorrow morning. Going for Dabangg tonight and a better excuse would probably be that I am shit scared to play it at night. 
My room-mate has gone home for vacation and the tenant who stays downstairs has gone home as well. Damn it, not the best time to play it.

Best time to play this game
Time : Start around 2-3 AM
Atmosphere : Play in a dark room
Sound : Wear good Head Phones
Enjoy gaming
Penumbra scared me shitless....
+10 Mate Jump scare is the easy way to scare someone.... scaring someone in slow methodical way takes much more effort
I noticed another thing... All these games run on Linux too

So no one else tried this yet? I should be done with Mafia 2 in sometime and will be looking forward for this. :ashamed:
In the meantime, K&L: DD awaits me but since that's a short game as well, we have Dead Space lined up and Infamous too. Been playing like mad these days lol.

Played about 15 mins. Bloody boring game. :| No attacking lunatics ,no hostility, so left it. Time waste.
Dead Space scares the shit out of you even while playing in daytime. You start looking at every thing suspiciously dead bodies, hole in the walls, ventilators etc. You could hear some whispering noises too. The game really makes you paranoid.stalker said:
The graphics are top notch. I love Isaac's movements, they are so realistic.
^This game makes you paranoid as well. The first time I installed it, I could barely take it for the first 10 minutes. I quit instantly after the weird noises. :ashamed:
I then switched to Mafia 2, completed it and played this on Sunday afternoon with the lights in the adjacent room switched on. Advanced a lot ahead actually. I have reached a level where there's water and an invisible creature comes. If you stay in the water, you are killed - came to know of it when I got killed the first time. The part that there are no weapons in the game makes it even more scary.
One can fill the lamp with oil which drains out eventually so we need to use them wisely without spending too much time searching for something. We need to create a chemical compound out of 4 odd chemicals inside a laboratory and we end up searching for those 4 chemicals in different places. We see shadows of enemies wandering around as we move ahead which makes it very very scary. :fear:

WTF! No one played this yet?
OK I've had to go through solving some puzzles such as making explosive mixtures, assembling some cog wheels on a machine to get it working (like in POP series), inserting rods into a machine, some coal into a burner and the likes. This was done to get some elevator working. Got it working finally and have gone down further the building. There are plenty of diary entries to be found which essentially guide us as clues. I ran out of lantern oil yesterday until I managed to light up a few candles with tinderboxes. But the fact that only one candle can be lit with one tinderbox is lame! I mean when candles are nearby why cannot they be successively lit with the same tinderbox? :\
Btw I met this guy a couple of times - when he comes on the screen, the screen flashes indicating his presence and hints us to douse the lantern and stay in a dark place until he's gone.
Wonder where this leads to. :ashamed:
Yogi, you should play this title.

WTH no one played this yet? :O
I completed it last week and the game sure lives upto the expectations. The game is pretty long for a 2GB worth installation and I happened to play it real slow. I could not at times, take it and used to quit the game out of fear. There is only one creature one would encounter during the entire gameplay and he sure scared the socks off me! The music is pretty creepy when he turns up. The lack of weapons in the game adds to the scare factor even more and all one has to counter it is the tinderboxes to light the candles and the lantern with the limited quantity of oil which can run out real quick if we do not quickly complete the objectives on time (for instance, finding certain chemicals, tools, cogwheels etc in the dark areas within the castle).
The ending is pretty useless though - I wouldn't want to spoil it so play and post your impressions.

Bit-tech has an awesome article on the developers of Amnesia - The Making of Frictional Games | bit-tech.net
To those who felt they have played every other survival horror title out there, you shouldn't miss out on this one! I'd still reckon, this is the best horror title I have played by far.
