Amber is without a doubt the least-played but most widely known horror game ever released. Created by a husband-and-wife team, Frank and Susan Wimmer, Amber is one game that should be experienced by all true fans of the horror/adventure genre. Your friend Roxy has been conducting paranormal tracking experiments and has contacted you for help. Upon finding her unconscious, you explore the old Victorian house she has been monitoring and discover a headpiece that allows you to experience in-depth encounters with the supernatural. You will take an unprecedented journey into the world beyond as you unlock the mysteries of the past and discover the secrets of life after death by possessing the spirits of dead souls still not at peace with their situation. If the thought of inhabiting the spirit of a dead child searching for his beloved teddy bear gives you a chill, then this is the game for you. Play Amber with the lights out, and snatches of the game will haunt your memory for months. JA reviewer Ray Ivey had nothing but accolades for Amber, “Believe you me, at this point you very quickly realize that Amber is not your average haunted house game. What makes the difference? First of all, instead of cheesy “scary music” a la Shivers, Amber bravely foregoes any traditional soundtrack at all. The only sounds you hear are “real life” sounds. Therefore, entering this silent, dark house that you know good and well is haunted is literally a hair-raising experience. Each footstep on the wooden stairs, each creak of an opening door or slide of a drawer, each chirp of a cricket, makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up.” Publisher: Hue Forest Entertainment, LLC
