On the one hand the theory sounds about right. On the other, I tried Dear Esther back when it was free. I must say, it was boring and hardly worth my time. Has it changed at all now? Or is it still a 15 minute run through with no new changes, and is now just $10 more expensive than it was before? He has the idea down, and hopefully there are some people from the original Amnesia to help out, and they have the whole first game to run off of as a cheat sheet.
I just hope it is as good as the first one. That dungeon man. I hate that fucking dungeon. Scariest part in the whole game for me. I spent a majority of it crouched on the ground in darkness completely mad, so I'm basically crawling at that point, nearly crying every time I heard that damn monster. Seriously, the monster is comical when you actually get a chance to see the thing, it's just...I honestly don't even know why it scares me so much in that game.
