There are a handful of moments where you have to run from something chasing you but those are few and far between. There are a few jump scares here and there and some eerie environments, but you find yourself in several bright places focusing on puzzles more often than fighting to stay alive.

REBIRTH, conversely, has sacrificed a considerable amount of scares for the sake of storytelling. I have played Amnesia: The Dark Descent and that game was so scary that I only played for about two hours before giving up forever. Who is after her? What really happened in the plane crash? What is she becoming? Why does her baby seem to grow so quickly? All of those questions and more will be answered in AMNESIA: REBIRTH. To make things even more bizarre, strangers seem to know her name and she begins to slowly change intoвЂ¦something else. When she gets a radio call from the doctor that was on the plane, she tries to make her way to a nearby village but soon realizes that she is not alone in this desert. She very quickly finds the body of her husband and then remembers that she is pregnant. As she heads out to find her husband and the rest of the stranded party, she realizes they have already set out to find help, but canвЂ™t remember what happened or where anyone is.ДЄs she makes her way across the sand into a cave, she finds remnants of her crashed party and begins to remember snippets of what occurred. When Tasi wakes up, she finds herself alone in the wreckage. She and her husband, Salim, are headed to an expedition in Africa when their plane crashes in the desert. REBIRTH takes place 98 years after the events of 2010вЂ™s The Dark Descent and follows a woman named Anastasie вЂњTasiвЂќ Trianon in 1937. It is the third installment in the AMNESIA franchise and takes it in a whole new direction while still staying connected to the world of the past games.

There are mild spoilers ahead, so if you donвЂ™t wish to know any of the plot, keep that in mind.ДЄMNESIA: REBIRTH is developed and published by Frictional Games. That nightmare is what you are getting at when you play the recently released, AMNESIA: REBIRTHвЂ¦kind of. What if you then had to add a baby into the mix? YouвЂ™d have the cocktail for most peopleвЂ™s worst nightmares. When you think of survival horror, most of the time itвЂ™s all about stealth attacks or inventory management, but the scariest kind of survival horror is one where the only options are run or hide. ThereвЂ™s something terrifying about not being able to defend yourself, even in video games.
