Scariest game you'll ever play

From hotukdeals today, there's a game called Amnesia: The Dark Descent on offer at £6 something on steam instead of usual price of £12.
I've not heard of it before and fancied something different.
I've played system shock 2, aliens vs predator, silent hill, fear, and whilst all have their moments, nothing prepares you for the sensory onslaught in this game.
Had to stop playing at the water sewer scene earlier, else I doubt I'd sleep. This must be played in the dark, with surround sound or headphones, and makes good use of the philips ambx system.
Graphics aren't quite up there with crysis (its an indie game after all), but its a good thing as even my low spec system can play at near full whack and the physics engine put to good use.
Review here.

Highly recommended!

'Dead Space' is also quite traumatic at times - the music is chilling!'The journey home, is never too far...'
