Anyone else realize yet how tantalizingly close Dredge and Amnesia: The Dark Descent are to telling the exact same narrative just with a tiny pinch of variables moved around?
So there was this man, and he might have gone sticking his nose in some places it didn’t belong some time ago. He wasn’t a bad guy at all, just stumbled one day into an encounter with a reality-breaking, immensely powerful artifact he was completely ignorant of. Very shorty after he discovered this magical item, he endures a near death experience followed by the deaths of multiple people in his general vicinity.
Horrible things happen that seem inexpiably tied to the powers he’s suddenly found in his possession. You find out most of this backstory via the notes and contextual breadcrumb trail of clues that slowly hint at the fact that- oh shit. That’s you. You’re the dude. You’re the man and you forgot about it because the consequences of your bumbling actions wracked you with so much guilt and fear that you sought supernatural means of erasing the memories from your head. And it worked.
And what did you have to fear, exactly? Well, hostile eldritch creatures that seemingly have been brought over from another dimension, for one. Inconveniently, you literally begin to lose grip of your sanity and hallucinate even more potential threats if you linger in darkness for too long. Light sources are your respite. Also, no pressure, but apparently something really big is really pissed off that you still haven’t set the balance right and returned the artifact it was watching over, and it’s hunting you and it down for the entire story.
You come to terms with not only this, but also the fact that you are the cause of everything messed up going on in the plot and your selfish past has been the root of a lot of innocent people’s misfortune and suffering. Otherworldly forces, via the persona of an old man, have been pulling at your strings for a very long time to manipulate you into fulfilling a chain of events that would end up literally tearing a rift between two worlds as we know them.
Eventually you learn all you need to in order to confront the person you used to be and the malicious force you are helping, and that final confrontation presents you with a crossroads decision that will determine your fate and the success of the evil.
You can put a stop to the forbidden ritual, right the wrongs of your past, surrender the cursed item and atone before yourself and its guardian.
Or,
You can prove yourself spineless, selfish, and pathetic to the end, and see through the completion of the forbidden ritual. The evil force gets to cross through the created rift, and a happy ending is had by maybe one.
And also nothing is scarier than the thought of being in the water. There’s crazy shit in water sometimes.

Very First Time Playing Amnesia: The Dark Decsent is going… not well but it is going at least.
Fam, I’ve beaten two dead space games, little nightmares and its sequel, good fractions of multiple Resident Evil games, Haunted Cities,
This damn title is about 13 years old now and it’s got my nerves up so badly I need to walk away from it every here and there. I don’t understand why, but it kind was exactly the hype it had been all this time. I finally get it.
How the Amnesia- A Machine For Pigs playthrough started: hee silly pig masks everywhere. lol look at this painting of a naked lady making out with a goose. No sanity drain? Infinite lantern? Have the devs gone soft this time?
How it’s going:
