Tonight, an AIO repack  with all the "frictional games" is available on the forum:
- Amnesia - The dark descent
- Amnesia - A machine for pigs
- Penumbra Black Plague
-Soma
- and numerous mods & custom stories
(Penumbra Overture was removed since BP is better).

Besides, 3 mods by Damned Husky were added to Soma. They can be started with Modlauncher.exe (shortcut in startmenu only).

For all games, shortcuts can be installed on the desktop and in the Start Menu.
Note that map_cache files were deleted, which can result in longer loading times.
Note that the file physics.fsb was deleted in Soma, but it's not really important (if you drop an object, there will be no sound). I modified some Targa files to make them smaller too (using a lossless compression).
The Russian language was deleted in Amnesia TDD. The default language is English anyway.
Some unused files were deleted in Amnesia AMFP.

Warning: If you play in a dark room, set the brightness/contrast to the right level, wear headphones, then the game might be scary for some users.

Amnesia - the Dark Descent






Amnesia - A machine for pigs
This is the sequel of the game Amnesia, the dark descent.






The death of Sardanapalus


Presentation of Penumbra: Black Plague:

Penumbra: Black Plague is a creepy and dark psychological horror experience featuring the adventures of Philip as he sets of in search of his dead father. Trapped in a shadowy, underground complex, intrepid explorer Philip is determined to discover the truth behind his father's disappearance. Surrounded by enemies and assaulted by terror from all sides, Philip must collect clues and solve vexing puzzles while combating the gnawing psychological terrors that assail his mind and threaten to strip him of his sanity. Can Philip master his fear and finally uncover the truth behind a mystery that has haunted him for a lifetime?

The story: Penumbra - Black Plague begins as an email sent by Philip Buchanon to a friend, explaining what has happened to him and begging him to finish the work he could not. The rest of the game then proceeds as a flashback narrated by Phillip to his friend in the email, beginning from where the previous game left off.

The game begins with Phillip waking up in a locked room, after being knocked out by an unseen being at the end of the first game. Phillip manages to escape via a nearby air-vent, and finds himself in the underground research facility of the Archaic Elevated Caste, a secret organization dedicated to discovering and researching ancient knowledge. The base is abandoned and in ruins, with all its personnel either dead or transformed into "the Infected", fast, zombie-like creatures that attack Phillip on sight.

Phillip discovers that he has also been infected; however, his reaction to the virus is extremely abnormal; instead of joining the infected hive-mind, he develops a sarcastic, malevolent split-personality that calls itself Clarence who constantly taunts Phillip throughout the course of the game.

Via the base's computer network, Phillip is contacted by Amabel Swanson, an Archaic research scientist who has managed to survive the outbreak by locking herself in her lab. Swanson promises to help cure Philip's infection, if he will make his way to her section of the facility and rescue her.

Through dialogue with Swanson, and various scattered documents found throughout the base, Phillip learns that the Archaic came to Greenland to look for the "Tuurngait," an ancient entity described in native Inuit mythology as primordial spirits native to the area. Penetrating deep underground, the Archaic found and released the Tuurngait, which manifested as a sentient virus that infected the base's personnel. Phillip discovers his father Howard managed to communicate with the Tuurngait, but what he learned drove him to commit suicide after sending Phillip a letter ordering him to destroy his research documents.

Phillip eventually manages to make his way to Amabel's lab, but Clarence causes him to hallucinate and murder Amabel. Using Amabel's lab notes, Phillip manages to rid himself of Clarence by extracting him using a lab machine. However, the machine transfers Clarence into a nearby corpse, which he reanimates and uses to attack Phillip.

Phillip is saved by the Tuurngait itself, as several Infected arrive to destroy Clarence, for Clarence now possesses an individual body and mind rather than part of "the many" in Tuurngait. The Tuurngait communicates directly with Phillip, sending him into his own mind and putting him through a series of spiritual tests designed to test his ability to cooperate, show mercy, and demonstrate self-sacrifice.






Presentation of Soma
Soma is a science fiction survival horror video game published by Frictional Games for Microsoft Windows.


Soma takes place on an underwater remote research facility with machinery that begins to take on human characteristics. Simon Jarrett, a fish out of water protagonist, finds himself at the facility under mysterious circumstances and is inadvertently forced into uncovering its past, while trying to make sense of his predicament and potential future.







Mods for Soma:
Mod 1:
Aaron's father's illness leads to him having to make a big choice.


Mod 2:
It is approximately one year after Aaron participated in the Games. This year is going to be different. A brand new arena has been built and Ashley Redwood is going to get the honor of being the first participant attempting to get through it alive.


Mod 3:
Ashley's story continues in the Episode 3 of Games. It's the second day and she has to work her way through several areas specifically designed to do her harm.



Mods for Amnesia TDD (in the menu of Amnesia TDD in Custom story):




Abduction



Emma's nightmare



The machine



Study of Insanity
Deep in the European countryside is an old, seemingly unexceptional 18th century house, sitting undisturbed for over a hundred years. A small team of researchers from a University attempted to explore the house and uncover its secrets. Search the estate to discover clues pertaining to their fate and the true nature of the house. Decide for yourself what really happened and if you can escape the madness.


Obscurity
Crescent Village... That name has been ringing in my ears, haunting me in my dreams. The nightmares won't stop... And they all surround that dreadful place.



Mods for Penumbra (directly available in the Start menu):
Penumbra: Necrologue is a continuation of the Penumbra series made by Frictional Games. The game starts right where the last game in the series ended. Join Philip in the last part of his journey as he tries to find the answers to everything he witnessed in the Archaic Shelter while trying to stay alive from the many horrors that await him deep below the ice.
Philip awakens in the computer room from the end of Penumbra: Black Plague, apparently having survived the events of Requiem. However, he notices that several things are different. Clarence, Dr. Amabel Swanson, and Red are somehow still alive, after having been contacted by all 3. Philip also finds that an expedition has come to the facility to rescue anyone within. Philip sets out once again, to find the answers, and finally escape with his life. However, things are not so simple. The facility is still crawling with the Tuurngait Infected, and many similar dangers lie within. Will Philip survive and escape this final endeavor?









Penumbra: Twilight of the Archaic
Twilight of the Archaic picks up where Necrologue left off. CounterCurrent describes it as a "small add-on" but says it'll provide closure on the majority of loose threads from the main game.

The Amnesia games are a bit frightening indeed. Maybe Soma would be more suitable then, should you deal with the horrendous monsters.
The Penumbra series might be even more sinister. But I really like it.

For Pcgames, Amnesia TDD is amongst the best horror games. Note that Frictional games is planning to release a new game too:  https://www.pcgamesn.com/soma/frictional-new-game

Really? Do they keep you up at night or what? I realize fear is often irrational and hard to control, but in the end, they're nothing more than movies or games.

Honestly, I just find it highly uncomfortable. And I don't really find any joy or pleasure in putting myself in situations like that. I've had panics and high anxiety throughout my school years. I used to come to this forum to just read when I was anxious in class. It's much better now. But I still get panics. And I know that it is things that build up to this, and therefor I avoid things at all cost that cause me to feel unwell.
Scary things usually just leaves me feeling watched, and because of that, I start "seeing" things, aand then my mind spiral.

A short list of things I avoid:
Life&Death, and things that are thought provoking.
Dogs
Alarms(Firealarms, burglary alarms etc)
Loud sounds
Being out of control, in a situation where I could be.(Ex, driving instead of being passenger.)
Flying(Thats fine nowdays.)
Reading(Books etc.) Trying to teach myself to do that, but it causes my mind to spiral.

Also, if you jump scare me in real life, you will likely be told politely, yet firmly to never do that again. With a hint of death stare  ::)



Right now I'm looking to finish the following 3 games, the bottom two was given to me on Christmas by complete strangers.
WC3 reforged campaign
Lost Ember
Ori and the blind forest

Then you shouldn't play Penumbra games either.
I don't know any of these games.

I'm glad you clarified this. I know perfectly what high anxiety and panic attacks are. I've been struggling with them as far back as I can remember. I also know they have triggers, i.e., certain things or situations that set the attacks off. You just mentioned a few of yours.

Sadly the big problem with panic disorders is that the sufferer knows perfectly that the triggers are essentially harmless. Unfortunately the panic disorder takes over and paralyzes the brain's rational thinking. This is the reason why trying to explain to a sufferer that the trigger is harmless doesn't work. I always carry Xanax. It's great for anxiety. I take it only as needed. Too much Xanax or taking it too frequently renders it less effective, plus it may be addictive for some people.
