Update: In typical fashion, two days after I bought the game, it has just gone into the Steam Halloween sale with a 33% price reduction. I hate Steam already!
A few weeks ago, my laptop broke and, after turning the air blue for an extended period of time, I bit the bullet and shelled out a tonne of money on a new one. However, because my old laptop was starting to show its age a little, and was starting to chug more than an alcoholic frat boy, I wasn't able to try out any new PC games, or get a chance to try out Steam. This bothered me so much that when I bought my new laptop, I was secretly a little bit glad, despite the fact that I was parting with a frankly not-insignificant amount of cash.
Needless to say, as a huge survival horror fan, the first thing I did when I got my new laptop was download the Amnesia: The Dark Descent demo, and let me tell you this; the game has a reputation for being scary as hell, and just the demo alone had me on the edge of my seat. This game truly isn't for the feint-hearted!
So, after debating it for a while, I finally gave in, joined Steam, and bought the full game. In order to get the most out of the game, I plan to play it the way developers Frictional Games advise - by playing in a darkened room with headphones on. I'll be sure to post my thoughts later on. Until then, wish me luck!
