If this is heaven, take me home || Self-Para

"Where the hell am I?" Alex tried to sit up, struggling to sit up before realizing where he was. A long, white room. No not a room, a hallway. He couldn't remember anything from before he woke up - was this a dream? what happened? how long had Alex been out? Thoughts floated around his head before someone peaked their head in the door. He was in the hospital. They were going to keep him there. Voices kept on talking but their voices just slid past Alex's mind. "Closed ward," they seemed to be saying. "Just rest, no visitors. Not even family." As sluggish as Alex felt, it took him several moments to realize what they were talking about him. And it took several more seconds for him to open his eyes again (they had drooped shut). "He's only nineteen, what about his parents?" A voice asked. "We don't know, they'll probably not come all the way from Greece. That's what the girl said." What girl? "Poor kid…" He'd be alone for weeks. There was no one to come and rescue him now. No one. Alex was completely alone. And that's when Alex's scream pierced the air.

I started playing Amnesia: The Dark Descent this afternoon because I've had it for a year and not touched it yet because I was too scared to.

MISTAKE.

I mean, I went in expecting it to be a head-screw, and terrifying, and as someone with a vague fascination with the psychology of horror I was reminding myself of the sort of tricks they might play, and telling myself it can't be that bad but

I swear my heart has never been thumping so hard in my life.

I got through several areas and not one monster, and by the end of my session I was still so freaked that I caught one glimpse of the back of one, panic-finished the level and terror-quit.

I mean, the dark, yeah, I get that. Doors flying open. Cave-ins. Flames guttering out. The usual tricks. But when you're playing a character who experiences both VISUAL AND AUDITORY HALLUCINATIONS that's the worst, because when playing games you're so used to taking what you see and hear on faith as your environment and

You hear heavy breathing, footsteps. Is that you? Oh God, it's coming from the next room. There's a roaring noise, you push open the door. It's dark, but there's nothing there. Oh God, does that mean I missed it? Does that mean SHIT SOMETHING JUST FELL OVER BEHIND ME

And it doesn't let up. My mouth is still dry.

(Don't get me wrong. I really appreciate well-made horror, that relies on psychology rather than gore to freak you out. Amnesia just does it really, really well. I'm going to get myself a cup of tea and look at kittens for a bit, I think.)
