Here it comes, I already have it pre-loaded. From what I've read, it seems to focus more on long-term psychological horror than TDD and Outlast. The best way to play it is to open your imagination and immerse yourself into the environment and read all the notes,etc..
Kind of worried that they removed important systems such as the sanity mechanic/inventory, it follows The Chinese Rooms's minimalistic yet effect approach at design.
But damn it will be one crazy ride I'm sure. Anyone else going to be playing it tomorrow?

Played through it.
In case anyone is still on the fence about buying:
Did not like it as much as the first one.
They took away all the "game" mechanics like tinderboxes, sanity meter etc. so you just walk around and there are a few places where you have to play ring around the rosie with enemies. End result was that the game felt less immersive for me and the scary moments were less tense.
There's basically only 1 enemy type (a couple variants on the same thing later on) and tbh i thought they looked kind of ludicrous so after i actually got a good look at it i wasn't really scared of them anymore (contrast with the first amnesia where the enemies made me want to shit my pants to the point where if I got caught I would just stare at a wall until i died because i didnt want to look at them). Most of the effective scares for me were jump scares or just based on the sp00ky atmosphere and environment. Overall I would describe the game more as eerie or unsettling than outright terrifying.
That's not to say the game wasn't scary at all it definitely had its moments. The beginning had me on edge for quite a while and there are some good scares sprinkled throughout but it lost some of its lustre as the game went on. By the end I was sprinting around just trying to progress the story as fast as possible.
The story is pretty interesting until the end, had some neat ideas and I thought it showed a lot of promise (I was actually motivated to keep playing to find out where they were going with it). It had some major Lovecraftian kind of elements/themes going which I'm a fan of. Seems like they didn't really know where to take it though and I thought the ending was sort of anticlimactic. There was a lot of build up and tension from this unseen monstrosity of machinery that you're exploring without being able to see and I was expecting that there would be kind of a sweet payoff moment where you finally get a holistic view and it blows your mind but the sequence which judging by the epic scoring was supposed to be the BIG REVEAL is pretty mundane. Then the game keeps going for quite a while after that. And the second "reveal" at the very end you will see coming from 5 miles away if you paid any attention at all to the rest of the game. I think that was probably intentional, like you're supposed to know while your character doesn't but again that just made it less immersive for me and the ending didn't feel like it paid off.
Overall I would say that it's worth playing if you liked the first Amnesia and wouldn't mind a version thats a bit less scary and has more emphasis on the "plot" as it were, and you don't mind a bit of a let down ending. It's definitely not as good as the first one or the Penumbra games though IMO and you can tell it wasn't developed by Frictional.

this game makes me real sad

Very nice critique ukm.
I am also disappointed after playing more than half of it.
The original mechanics of the first one should have been kept.
