The few years after the early 2000’s before the 2010’s was not a great time for horror games. SIlent Hill and Resident Evil were making games that paled in comparison to their earlier entries, and most of the oxygen of the gaming world was being sucked up by Mass Effect 2 and others.

Great games, sure, but the horror community was still largely relying on old classics from over ten years ago and mediocre modern ones that were largely just rehashing the same ideas and not even doing them justice most of the time. It was a dark time. I

t wouldn’t last too long though. By most accounts, the horror genre of video games was almost single-handedly revived by a little-known PC game called Amnesia: The Dark Descent from Frictional Games. It didn’t happen all at once though. There were a lot of reasons why the game had such a meteoric rise to the level of popularity it’s at now.
