Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem

One of the GOAT horror games. Anybody every played it heard of it? :p
Would be completely surprised if anybody's ever played it. I discovered it about 5-7 years ago when I was digging the video game archives for great survival horror games. I found this one. Your character is Alexandra Roivas and she is investigating the brutal murder of her grandfather Edward inside his mansion in a remote area of Rhode Island. She discovers a secret room in his mansion and finds a book called The Tome of Eternal Darkness. With this new finding, she experiences a flashback to 26 B.C., where a respected Roman military commander named Pious is guided by mysterious voices that lead him to the exact book that was found in Edward's secret room. He is overcome by its powers and in a timeline of events, you discover the affiliation with Pious' discovery of the book, to the death of Edward.
This game is something else. It is very Resident Evil-esque in terror, but that isn't even the half of it. Because this game is so frightening, your character is given a fright meter, and the lower it goes, the more insane she becomes, meaning she will see things that just aren't there. This game did the unthinkable and not only has the ability to make your character go insane, but it will make you, the player, lose your mind, as well. You'll see what I mean if you ever get to play it. It's a game I feel lucky to have discovered. Anybody want to give it a shot?
