I feel like I enjoyed the tension, but hated panicking. And I started wondering that maybe I actually can handle some horror games. When I was hiding from robots my mind would often wonder about "What is going on in this place?" in Amnesia and Outlast my mind was too busy panicking and I felt like it prevented me from enjoying the story.
I was tense, but I wasn't panicking and screaming in my mind. And surprisingly I was able to handle it fine, it reminded me of Amnesia and Outlast in terms of how it played, but I wasn't scared. I heard a lot of good things about SOMA, so I played it. So I decided that I need to try to play some again. Recently I started studying game design and during my studies I became interested in horror games. And for a long time I was done with horror games. So I said "Fuck that, I am not doing this again" and I dropped Outlast immediately. And the first few hours reminded me of the experience I had when playing Amnesia. Then when Outlast came out I tried playing it. In the end I think I finished that game just for completion’s sake, I don't think that I really enjoyed it, but it left an impression. But I was playing with my friend sitting next to me, and we would talk and make jokes while we played, so I feel like I cheated, but still I finished amnesia. And I forced myself to play amnesia to the end. But the fact that this game scarred me so much made me want to finish it. I played Amnesia when it came out, and it was absurdly scary for me. And maybe it can lead to an interesting discussion. Sorry for asking it again, in exchange for being "that guy with this question again" I will share my experience of trying to get into horror games. I know that this question was probably asked a million of times.
