Question

I get scared when I just read the title of the game. What do I do?

Community Answer

Add something funny to the title. For example, instead of reading "Amnesia: The Dark Descent", imagine the title was "Amnesia: The Day I Forgot all my Answers for Tomorrow's Test".

What do I do if I have nightmares for too long, like a month?

See a doctor. He/she may refer you to counseling, as your nightmares could be from things that are troubling you.

As long as you don't get too scared. It really depends on the person. Try it, and if you don't like it, just turn on the lights and do something else.

Question

What if I need to use the volume on the video game, but it really scares me? How do I cope with that?

Community Answer

Just keep the volume very low, or just loud enough for you to hear. You can use headphones/earbuds and take them out if you reach a scary part. If you can't do that, just avoid playing that game and play something else or watch a show.
