10 Video Games Too Scary To Finish
6. Amnesia: The Dark Descent
In Amnesia: The Dark Descent, Daniel awakens in a dingy, gothic castle with no idea who he is, why he's there or what's going on. It soon turns out that Daniel seemingly wiped his memory and is being stalked by something called The Shadow.
As we venture into the castle, we discover that it's filled with all kinds of monsters. These hideous creatures chase the player, who must use the game's physics to escape by blocking doors or moving things to hide behind. The game relies on quick thinking and nerve to survive, and to make things worse, Daniel's sanity can start to suffer the more scared he gets.
You'll spend a lot of time in the dark, watching monsters while you hide and coming across some gruesome scenes you'd rather forget; all these things wreck your sanity. When sanity drops too low, the player is much more vulnerable to attack, and enemies find it easier to discover their location.
Amnesia: The Dark Descent is a shocking game, filled with twists, turns and scares, but it's one where you'll be lucky if you're able to complete it.
