Amnesia: The Dark Descent, A.K.A. FFFFFFFFFFF

This game will make you blast your pants with shit.

Amnesia is a game created by Frictional Games, the guys who made Penumbra (one of the scariest horror game series I've ever played) where you play as Daniel, some crumpet-eating British fellow who wakes up the the middle of the really god damn eerie Castle Brennenburg. You have know knowledge of what you're doing, and even take a while to remember who you are, but eventually you come across a letter from yourself telling you what to do.

You don't know why, but you chose to forget. You chose to forget everything. In the letter, you find these morbid instructions:

"God willing, the name Alexander of Brennenburg still invokes bitter anger in you. If not, this will sound horrible.

Go to the Inner Sanctum, find Alexander and kill him."

So, it comes to be that you have to find and kill this man Alexander. But there's a catch.

"One last thing. A shadow is following you. It's a living nightmare, breaking down reality.

I've tried everything and there is no way to fight back. You need to escape it as long as you can."

So yeah, basically, you just have to find and kill this guy, without any weapons, while running from this horrifying thing you encounter along the way and trying to keep sane.

This is one of the scariest games this year, if not of all time. I actually have to take breaks sometimes because of the fear. If you don't have this, get it. You can get it on Steam for $20, and it's well fucking worth it. Make sure to play it at night with the lights off and headphones for the full experience.
