Most scary/unpleasant moments in the game

[011101110111000]

Okay guys, so I decided to start a discussion upon Amnesia's best scares and awkward moments in the game. I want to ask you which are the parts, why do you think they were scary/are unpleasant, and what do you think made the situation like that.

[Collisto]

i was wondering around in the cellar's when i saw a normal looking door, i went up to it and opened it, but when i did a grunt came running at me, i shouted 'FUUUUUUUUUU', slammed the door, ran and hid. that freaked me out so much.

The part were the invisible water monster chases you, that REALLY got my heart rate going. The Prison was also scary and i felt really nervous.

[Corvo Attano]

To be honest...I think the MOST UNPLEASENT AND TERRIFYING MOMENT is when in the sewers and you distract the monster just standing there. Or as I should say is the Grunt he made me throw my mouse in the air. I caught it and the Grunt hit me. And I was GUNNIN AND RUNNIN.

[Corvo Attano]

In the morgue, that was some scary ♥♥♥♥. I literaly threw my mouse at the wall. Also fell off my chair and I somehow managed to press esc in time.

I've only played through the game once, about 8 months ago? So, i cant remember the area's name and i apologize for that. Anyway...my scariest moment was in a room with nothing but an iron maiden torture device..i opened it up slowly and BAM! some corpse flew out of it scarying the ♥♥♥♥ out of me and apparently alerting a grunt, i had no other option but to get inside the iron maiden and pray he doesnt pry it open and have his way with me. D:

I would have to say the prison. You never knew if the next cell would have a monster in it, and it was very disorienting and mazelike.

I think the Prison was one of the most terrifying areas in the game. But I considered the Choir (I believe it was? The one with the huge pillars and the two bridges with the Grunts? You could enter it in Agrippa's room, but it wasn't the Transept.) to be the most terrifying. I ALWAYS play with my best friend, because I'm too scared to play it on my own and this friend of mine loves to sit next to me and do like nothing but watching the stuff happening and giving hints and stuff. We entered the Choir, went to the brigde at the right-hand-sided (of course we didn't look around for a minute so we had to go to the room at the left-hand-side at the end of our Choir experience) and as soon as we got onto it, we heard a Grunt. We got next to the bridge, being really careful so we wouldn't fall into the black hole canal kinda thing, we sat there for a minute hiding, looking away from the side we came from, until we turned around and the Grunt was right in front of us, but with his back turned to us. We screamed at a terrible volume (sorry, neighbours) and jumped right into the canal before the Grunt got us. Yep, difinitely the scariest moment ever. We're at the Transept now :)

hmmm the scariest part of amnesia the dark desent hard to make a choice its all creepy thanks to the great atmopshere provided by frictional but if i had to think off the top of my head it would be the morge and the part when three of the monsters attack you just as you open the door to go assemble the orb i had to take a break lol

[adg211288]

I have to give this to my first real freak-out moment. The Sroage room. It's been mentioned already but there's that door, with a Grunt behind it. It actually made me panic. I slammed it shut, turned the lantern off and bolted thinking I was going back to the upper level of the area. I didn't. Actually I ended up where I was meant to go somehow, but with no real clue how I got there or how many Grunts were around.

The prison is also very freaky. Almost ran right into a Grunt at the top of some stairs and fled all the way back to the start. where it followed and killed me. :(

[Sir Goodmen ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)]

It is actually a tough call. Storage, because it is soooo dark, you have no idea where the monsters are on your first play through. Prison, because there are SO many monsters down there, especially at the end... and finally, the Choir. 1, It was so big, and the Brute never left.... he was always walking around. I was so paranoid. 2, THAT MOTHER♥♥♥♥ING IRON MAIDEN! Amnesia, you had me to believe there were no jump scares. Fooled me.... greatly.

[Sumeron]

Storage. I found that place to be unsettling. Now on my second play I stood in front of the entrance to storage thinking: I don't want to go in there. I know each and every monster spawn point and still I don't like the thought of entering there.

[Con Artist]

The moment where you enter the Chancel after getting all of the orb pieces only to get swarmed by five gatherers made me jump from my seat.

@Who Day[9] FTW!
Anyway, the Prison is hell...
Even playing with the lights on and no headphones on I almost have a heart attack when I hear something...Granted, I am a wuss but still! (For some strange reason I still love this game though...)

[Huckles]

Prison or Choir definitely, although I really hated the part where you had to go to the........forget what it is called.....? It's in the beginning of the game and it's right across the laboratory with the four mixtures and whatnot.

[FirstUtterance]

I concur with the Kaernk sequences. So much so I HAD to look up to see if there would be any more encounters with them (thankfully not!), even then I was still paranoid walking through the water in the Cistern and hearing the intermittent splashing sounds and roars.

Cringe-worthy: the torture rooms, though you don't see the actual tortures taking place, hearing the sound of the giant saw and then seeing the well of blood and that drawing on the wall of the act in question that took place... *shudder*

Creepiest: can't remember what the exact name of the area was, but the one with the dogs barking. It was like some kennel from hell, combined with the lack of any music save for the constant insectile buzzing, the taxidermied animals themselves, and to perfectly cap all that off, the "facelift" that the portrait of Alexander gets after you open the desk with the skulls. Agh!
