Amnesia: The Dark Descent

Story

In the game, set in 1839, the player takes on the role of Daniel, a young man from London who wakes up in the dark halls of the Prussian Brennenburg Castle and can barely remember his past. All he can remember is his name, that he lives in Mayfair and that something is after him. Shortly after waking up, Daniel finds a note written by himself explaining how he intentionally made himself forget his past because he couldn't cope with the loss of his innocence and therefore wanted to forget everything. The note asks Daniel to descend into the inner sanctum of the castle and murder a man named Alexander, the baron of the castle. The note contains a final warning that a "living nightmare" is after him and Daniel must escape as long as possible because there is no way to fight back.
