Amnesia has been hailed as the creepiest game of all time on numerous sites because the game is dark and you have no way to defend yourself and you are hunted down and chased by ghostly creatures that can harm your character or you if you imagine your character is actually you since the game is played in 1st person. There's something creepy about that to most people. It's the chase and fear of being caught that gets to people. The fear of being defenseless and having to hide in order to not get caught. Of course some people are not afraid of this and find other things to be afraid of instead. Maybe you're just immune to the fears that MOST others have. Good for you. But before you hail yourself as some sort of brave champ you might consider that you do have fears and those fears might not be the fears others have just the same.
I personally know of someone who is deathly afraid of balloons of any kind. People laugh and joke at him but the site of balloons makes him throw up and tremble in fear. This same person however is not afraid of any kind of snake or spider or the dark or ghost or monsters or anything else that MOST people are afraid of. It could be said that he's less afraid of things compared to most people. But put a balloon in his face and he will throw up all over the place and tremble like a frightened little school girl.
I remember he had a problem the first time he had sex with a girl back in high school. She apparently pulled out a condom and blew it up thinking it to be funny and tease him. He barfed all over her lap and got into the fetal position on the bed and sucked his thumb like a baby right in front of her. I think he may have been abused or seen abuse happen at a birthday party when he was young and doesn't remember the details or anything because the brain has a way of shutting down certain things we want to forget about if they are traumatic enough for us. But balloons are what remind him that he should be afraid for some reason he's just not aware of why he should be afraid.
Now imagine being him. There are so many balloons around that your chance of seeing one each day is highly probable. Most of us don't have to deal with our fears as much as he does. I feel bad for the guy. He can't hardly go out anywhere. In a car he usually has to stare at the floor just so he won't see balloons at car dealerships he's driven by. Of course he doesn't drive himself. He's 33 years old and has never had a drivers license. He's married to the girl that I mentioned he threw up on. She tells me she has a fear of vomit. Go figure.
Don't piss yourself or anything but you said you have hydrophobia and want to play a scary game. Then I recommend this one for you...
Yep, nothing like being miles and miles out to see and underwater in a cramped German U-boat with the chance of being depth-charged and stuck underwater hundreds of feet down.
