Indeed.

I played it because my friend suggested it to me a year ago, haven't looked back since. The only prior experience I had with horror games is Bioshock, so naturally, this was quite terrifying.

The first time I got scared in the game (roughly 1 minute in) it had awoken something inside of me, knowing that I almost had to pause the game when I was in no imminent danger, just from ambient sounds. I knew that this was going to suck (in the best, most terrifying way possible).

Amnesia is one of the games I'll remember for the rest of my life because it was so perfectly put together, everything about it was perfect from puzzles, to detail/environment, to the music and build up.

tl;dr - shits fun.

Because for some odd I've found it fun to cry like a little bitch and lose hours of sleep ever since I was like, 8.

Like I play any games; the experience.

Amnesia looked like an incredible experience (I watched part of a LP beforehand) and I just had to see for myself. To this day, it is the only game I have that I have not raged at one time.

Yup, this.

I played it because I saw it on my brother's computer and was bored. I was enticed by the incredible visuals and level design as well as the great story, and not having played any previous horror games, I played for the unique experience of the whole horror deal. I never even liked being scared, but I liked the difference I got from other games and learned to appreciate this type of horror; the type where you dread opening a door or going down an elevator because you know what will be there.

Because of the ambiance and the story.

I usually don't play horror games because I am too chicken : when I am interested in one, I only watch a LP of it. Even though I liked many of these games (Clock Tower or Fatal Frame for example), I never ended up playing them.
But Amnesia was the exception!
One day I decided to watch a LP because I was bored and I randomly chose this game (I didn't know anything about it at the time).
I fell in love with the atmosphere and the story so much I decided I had to play it.

Because, why would you want to experience horror?
Does it give you pleasure to be terrified?

Food... Water... Atmosphere...

Cause ever since I was little, I found strange pleasure from watching Power Rangers while stroking my cock (his name is Gutten, he's a German rooster) with a Orange soda in the other hand. If this doesn't answer your question, Nothing Will!
