It's good to see independent titles like Slender and Amnesia get horror gaming right, especially after the blatant action emphasis seen in series like Resident Evil and even Dead Space these days. Slender might have been a bit over-hyped, considering how many random Let's Play videos of the game are on Youtube, but it nails the fear aspect. I'm pretty excited about both this new Slender and the upcoming Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs. 2013 looks to be a good year for horror games.
I can't wait for a machine for pigs. I hope Frictional Games has given The Chinese Room the gift of true horror. Because Amnesia is rough on the nerves!
Gotta say that The Arrival's price is right too.
I bought this and played it for about ten minutes. Screamed and closed out of it. They lock the escape button so you are forced to watch.
This is coming from someone who likes these kinds of games. Holy crap...
