The Sounds of Amnesia

[snapdragon2323]

Is anyone else curious as to how the sound teams for Amnesia made all those terrifying sounds? I know there was a video on Youtube but for me it simply wasn't enough. If anyone can piont me in the direction for more info or if you simply want to discuss please feel free to do so.

Well... basically sounds for movies, games and even theatre are made by imitating a sound. They can be made with nearly everything. Our brain accepts a lot of sounds for the same action. The best example is the shot of simple pistol. Compare the sound of different games and different movies and you will hear the fact that they are all different in a certain way.
In the history of acting a lot of "progression" happened when it cames to sound effects. Most actions don't actually sound like what you want them to sound like when you record them. A good example are footsteps. If you would try to record a real walking person, it would sound "false" to your ear... that is way the sound of feet are mostly done with gloves and different surfaces... I hope I could help you a little...

That is the video you meant, I think? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q06d40zChDM

You may want to ask youtube about "sound design". You will find what you searched for... although I think you won't find much about Amnesia though...

Why thank you GLaDOS. Foley design has always interested me which is why when I heard the monsters in Amnesia I was curious. Thank you for providing me with ideas for what to search for overall sound design.
