Episode Details

The tree of survival horror in games has borne many a twisted, dark and delectable fruit, but not all of them are for me. The what I call run and hide horror game is one of those subgenres. You know, the kind where you cannot fight, but must only flee, usually in first person view, while looking for a cabinet to hide in. In this review I discuss my time with Amnesia: the Dark Descent and Outlast, and why I had an adverse reaction to these games unlike the many fans out there of scary survival sims.
