(There are naked corpses, but not many encounters and/or interactions with them.) Firsthand violence is minimal, but like with many other horror games, there is evidence of it in the environment. There is no sexual content, but there is an implied murder. (SPOILER WARNING FROM THIS POINT ON) In the very end you can kill alexander and finish your mission, giving you "Daniel's ending" in which daniel talks about how he had done terrable things in his life, however, he did everything possible to right his wrongs.įirst of all, is this game appropriate, which is the question that most parents probably came to hear answered. Common sense makes absolutely no mention of this, and I believe that they should edit their page to include this. The goal of the player from this point forward is to kill the man who is trying to destroy the world and expiramented on innocent men women and children to further his dark magic. In the present, Daniel took an amnesia potion to lose his memory because of the terrable things he had done. In his past he has done some terrable things, and did it selfishly. Your character daniel is set to right his wrongs as a person. I believe that depending on how you look at it you can argue that the entire game is a positive message. One of the things that I believe common sense got wrong with their review is positive messages. There are times in the game where looking back, there were no monsters or other threat, but due to the sound design you're on your toes the entire time. Less of this horror comes from cheap jump scares, and instead is from incredible sound design, atmosphere, and eerie characters.
Amnesia does a fantastic job of making the player feel scared. Other than that, it comes down to the scares. There is constant gore and 1 or 2 times that you see a nude dead body. I think that the age of the player should be dependent on their maturity.
Undoubtedly one of the most iconic horror franchises of all time.
