Technically, I started this game in 2020. Played ~5.5hrs, got a little over half way, and stopped on 08 Nov 2020.

And I see why I stopped! God, I hate this game lmao. My least favorite of the amnesia games I've played. That being said, it isn't bad. There are puzzles I enjoyed and areas I liked exploring. But wow. Darkness in this game is oppressive, and the number of large, pitch black rooms they throw you into with zero direction.... evil. Also the sanity mechanic is annoying more than anything in this game, as well as the insanely limited light sources you are given. I appreciated that it added to the survival horror feelings, but it become cumbersome and annoying.

Also... what was even the point of laudanum? I don't think I ever used one or even picked one up after the start of the game. How did health even work? Why is button mashing what determines if you die or not if you get caught?

Just so many weird choices. I also didn't jive with the themes of this game. I just don't think it worked. At all.

Wish I had just watched a playthrough instead of picking this game back up three years later lol
