10 Scariest Video Game Enemies That Stalk You
3. The Gatherers - Amnesia: The Dark Descent
Amnesia: The Dark Descent is a truly terrifying first-person horror game that places you in what can only be described as the darkest pits of hell.
You don't fight demons in Amnesia, in fact, they hunt you. Instead, you're battling your own mentality as you struggle to comprehend the world around you. The enemies known as The Gatherers do nothing to help this.
Make eye contact with them and your sanity will lower drastically. The more you lose, the harder the game is as your character becomes incomprehensible to control. The Gatherers will use this perfect opportunity to snap you up.
What you must do is use the many beds, cupboards and doors to hide and simply prey that they'll move along. You have no tools to defend yourself with, so you own wishful thinking is the only element you have to play with.
The sound design across the whole of Amnesia is certainly unsettling and has the ability to mess with your own sanity. Those of you who play with headphones on, hats off to you.
