I'm wondering if we have a Haunting Ground/Demento thread yet.It's a slightly lesser known horror game by Capcom for the Playstation 2, and by far it's my favorite of all time. Basically, the game is about a young woman named Fiona waking up in a cage inside of a very large castle. While she wanders around trying to figure out just where she is and how to get out, she meets a white German Shepherd named Hewie that soon becomes her companion. As this goes on, the residents of the estate come after our protagonist and attack her for reasons unknown. The game focuses less on combat (the only attacking moves that Fiona has are a very weak kick and a weak charging motion, or choosing to have Hewie attack the 'stalkers') and more on hiding and running a safe distance away from your pursuers, while also focusing on solving puzzles and searching for items to aid Fiona in her attempt to exit the castle and uncover the truth behind her appearance there. The game itself has absolutely beautiful graphics and the voice acting is rather stunning.

>Basically, the game is about a young woman named Fiona waking up in a cage inside of a very large castle.

For most of the game I do believe she has actual amnesia about her past before waking up in the cage and escaping it (I'm doing my best not to give away spoilers), but I could be wrong. Some of it isn't completely clear/clarified. I've never played or heard of Amnesia before so I can't really say how much they're alike. I myself don't have a PS2 (or any form of gaming system except for my PC and DS, which is increasingly frustrating as I keep finding several games that I wish to try first-hand but lack the console for), but I've been watching Let's Plays and gameplay videos of it for quite awhile. My friend owns a copy of it and she herself has has validated that it is a great game. While it doesn't appear to be scary to me, it bothers her immensely. That's really the only issue I have with it - the way some find it terriying and to most others it's not quite as frightening as simply thrilling.
