While last year you probably heard and played Amnesia, Vivec has released a trailer for their new trilogy Shadow of a Soul which according to them has been made to create “the creepiest and the most shocking gaming expirience “. Watch the trailer and give feedback of what you think!
It looks like it has potential. Amnesia set the bar almost in the stratosphere so I don’t think I can make any judgement just yet. It’s definitely eerie though and that ending shot was unsettling. I hope they make a genuine horror game where you’re defenseless and running for your life. That is what made Amnesia so great. 2012 is looking promising!
You are definitely right as Amnesia won a couple of awards for the best amotsphere in a game for 2011 but it’s nice to see a spike in popularity for this genre. I agree with your last comment as well!
