Okay alot of gamers believe amnesia to be the most immersive game made

What I want to know is why do people believe that this game is the most immersive?

I have never played it but people keep telling me its so immersive and frightneing it makes you dont want to play it. So im just wondering why do people find it immersive and frightnening? is it the fact you have no weapons and its purely on survival?

It is in part the control scheme, you move the mouse like you would move your hand to do things in the game, like pulling out a drawer, you should pull the mouse towards you, open a cubbart, and you would make a swining motion with the mouse. It might sound clunky, but it worked beautifully.

It is in part that the game never really leaves your characters eyes and body.

It is in part how the levels were made and look, while I could have been without the pink goo, I found the slow walks down the empty halls of the old castle white impressive, with how the light of the lantern shone back from the rocky bricks, and how the game made you feel so lonely.

It is in part because when it is not quiet, you feel hunted and valnurable.

It is a very good game, and immersive in part because it is not a power fantasy, and the game is built to acomindate the feeling of being being hunted, alone and ever so fragile.

Its a combination of brilliant sound design, great visuals, and strong gameplay components (like opening drawers and wardrobes with mouse gestures). It really isn't very expensive so I recommend just playing and seeing for yourself!

Also a lot is two words, not that big of a deal, but just for future reference.

Eh its not that great.

Yeah i did not think it was that great. When someone says truly immersive game the only one that pops into my head is MYST. I know a lot of people did not like it but that game sucked me in and had me hooked pretty hardcore.....

Eh its not that great.
