Wee. I'm sort of wondering how I'm going to do with the chase scenes...I guess I'll be dying a lot, haha.

I actually ran up to Mr. Face to make sure he could attack you. Turns out he can. Though he's REALLY slow. He hit me...stared for three seconds...hit me again...stared for 4 seconds...and then killed me. I got a good look at him, hahaha.

Btw...does anyone else ever end the game with a crapload of tinder boxes? My last run through I ended up with 73 by the time I got to Alexander. I rarely ever used them and I'm finding way more now that I'm actually checking every nook and cranny for the maps...though I'm using a lot more now to light up rooms as I draw them out.

Anyways...WATER DEMON TIME. WOO.

Okay, so last night I had a dream about this level where instead of just having the one monster spawn I opened the save file I had where I was like in the middle of the room where the monster spawns and there were like ten and it was impossible to hide from them so I kept dying and so after a while I decided to go back and open an older save file so I could start before the monster was triggered and I triggered it and I watched from the safety of the hallway and that one monster just kept spawning and there were like five that were doing the same patrol and it was incredibly frustrating. I'm bringing this up here because in that dream I was also relying heavily on this map and I remember thinking that I NEEDED to tell you about this because it was the weirdest thing and I wanted to know if you knew about the weird spawning that went on in here. XD

This is awesome. I have really bad anxiety so even with a map and a walkthrough I get freaked out beyond all reason, but if I tried to do it without a map or at least an idea of what to expect, I'd never get anywhere because I'd go two steps and quit to avoid a panic attack. XD;
I'm probably not going to make it through with that many tinderboxes at the end this time around, but then again it is my first play-through and I'm still getting used to the controls (only Steam games I played before this were Portal/Portal 2) and the atmosphere and everything. It's a lot easier when you get used to the way Daniel's vision goes all wonky when his sanity's low, though. At first it was making me kinda seasick but now it's... well, bearable.

Haha. Yeah I remember the first time I ever played Amnesia and it was only a like sample version of the game, I used up all my tinderboxes in the first room because I thought darkness meant bad. I didn't realize the darkness was okay, haha.

And I still don't get what the crap about "not straying" is about...
Probably just to confuse you... (since what's wrong with straying...? Tinderboxes and oil here I come!)

You know, with this game I have really contradicting feelings...
One part of me does want to approach it very logically ("It's a game, you can't die. I have a map and I can see a monster will approach me in 3 sec... etc." doing things like deliberately walking in them (which I find actually less scary than walking around, knowing mr. Face is there somewhere ready to pop up anytime, anywhere and chase the crap out of me)) and thus making it less scary and such (since I think that if I try very hard I can make my mind find this game not so scary at all. Tough I would have to "cheat" tough (like using maps, walktroughs, etc.))

And another part of me just doesn't want to "spoil the experience" and play it as you should. And thus end up SUPER scared, but "enjoying" the game the way it was meant to...

Just a split, since it's really, really scary... but once you know it, there will never be a first time again and I might just have "wasted" it.
Well, I just hope that "a machine for pigs" is gonna be equally good! ;)
And awesome work on the maps! Though I'm not really sure if I want to use them or not...

LOL. I figure most people don't use the maps for their first time through or only if they're stuck or something. Maybe not. I dunno. I understand the contradiction though. I just knew it was a popular game with no existing maps and figured it'd help some people out and it's my most popular stuff on DA so they're definitely being used XD

Yea, I like to check if there are monsters though.
But I'm still not sure if I should use them or not... tho if I won't I'll probably never get trough the prison, haha
