There are definitely scary monsters, but there is no fighting. You must avoid them if at all possible. You start out in caves that are very, very dark and need to find matches and lanterns to use along the way. It is not point and click, but rather you use the WASD keys to move with the mouse being your camera angle.

What happens if you don't avoid the monsters? Do you die? Can you die in this game? Sorry for all the questions but as this is an expensive game for me to buy I want to be sure of what I'm getting.

Yes, you can die. I died a million times! One nice thing about dying in this game is that particular monster is gone and you don't have to deal with it again!

You play as Tasi, a young woman who is pregnant, has only fragmented memories and is slowly becoming a monster herself.

Thanks for your feedback. Not particularly happy about the fact you can die in the game. I'll think about buying this one when it goes on sale. I recently played Layers of Fear 2 where you had the option of playing in safe mode. No monsters chasing me or no dying. Guess it spoiled me,

Ooh. Thanks for that info on Layers of Fear 2. I didn't know it has that option. I don't like monsters chasing me or dying either, but I do like Horror games.

I'd say a "safe" mode would be MUCH better for you then! The fear/horror factor is very real in Amnesia Rebirth as it is in all their previous games!
