Description: Today Ars Technica takes you inside the mind of Frictional Games co-founder Thomas Grip to dissect the philosophy behind their critically-acclaimed horror games. From 2010’s Amnesia: The Dark Descent to 2015’s Soma and continuing with the upcoming Amnesia: Rebirth, Thomas and his colleagues have worked to elevate horror gaming from a sequence of jump-scares into something much more terrifying. By directing their focus into a complex narrative, and bringing menacingly interactive environments to life, Thomas and Frictional Games prove that nothing scares players like immersion in a story. 00:00 Introduction 00:50 Dark Beginnings 05:18 Scare Tactics 14:24 Mind Games 18:38 Tools of Suspense 23:47 Tactility and Immersion in Rebirth 33:34 Narrative and Nightmares 41:04 Burying The Past and Amnesia: Rebirth Footage used in this video: Gab Smolders youtube.com/user/GirlGamerGaB PewDiePie youtube.com/user/PewDiePie Lilia Live youtube.com/channel/UCHNjavmkFUf2n0uzWSgj16w Markiplier youtube.com/user/markiplierGAME Suzy Lu youtube.com/user/SuzyLuGME TheEyeofZion youtube.com/channel/UCUJtfYd-MxOyu7hsvVLMtIQ Connect with Ars Technica: Visit ArsTechnica.com: arstechnica.com Follow Ars Technica on Facebook: facebook.com/arstechnica Follow Ars Technica on Google+: plus.google.com/+ArsTechnica/videos Follow Ars Technica on Twitter: twitter.com/arstechnica How Horror Works in Amnesia: Rebirth, Soma and Amnesia: The Dark Descent | Ars Technica
