Now I’m sure that sort of sound effect has been used somewhere else beforeInceptiondid it, but right now I can’t think of any, and “creepy-fiedInceptionhorn” is the best way to describe the unnerving music backing this teaser toAmnesia: A Machine For Pigs, the new horror gamefrom Frictional (Amnesia: The Dark Descent) and thechineseroom (Dear Esther).

What’s in the trailer, you ask, besides blaring horns I’ll be hearing in my sleep tonight? Well, dark environments, and a few seconds of abject terror. Will “Under The Stairs In The Storeroom” sequence topThe Dark Descent‘s “Flooded Corridor”?
