Amnesia: The Dark Descent
Games like Soma If You’re Looking for Something Similar
It’s 1839, you wake up in the dark empty halls of a castle, with no memory other than your name is Daniel, you’re from Mayfair, and something is hunting you. There is a note attached to you, stating that you erased your own memory, a shadow is hunting you, and you must descend into the inner sanctum of this castle and defeat its baron.
This all sets the scene for one of the greatest survival horror games of all time. Exploring this castle is atmospheric horror at its strongest, and is an easy recommendation for any fan of Soma. There are physics based puzzle solving, stealth, and a sanity meter that must be managed. The longer you look at a monster, or witness horrifying events, you will begin to have auditory and visual hallucinations, that will only add to the chaos. Light sources such as lanterns, or fireplaces will help reduce insanity, and are a main focal point of the game. Amnesia does not give the player any weapons, so stay out of sight, and if you are spotted, run.
