Try playing both at once. Now imagine the sound of a monster's feet behind you and enraged grunting sounds as it gets closer as all this plays. ''That is what the game puts you through.''

** Another question: [[spoiler:was he actually that nice of a guy before his trip down Insanity Lane or was he just a naive young man who was pushed too far by fear?]] Remember, when the men who were exploring the passage beneath the dunes with him began to visibly become fearful and want to leave, Daniel shouted at them and forced them to continue anyway. At the very least, it is heavily implied that he is a selfish man and very much concerned with his own wellbeing above anyone else's [[spoiler:-- or at least before his HeelFaceTurn after he murders the young girl, anyway]]. Also:
** Alexander. There is no denying he is a monster, but [[spoiler:it is made clear in the notes, diaries and odd cylinder thingies that he is originally from a race far more advanced than ours and a dimension beyond humanity's reach]]. Many times, Alexander displays his callous attitude towards humans as if they were no different from the canines he had experimented on previously -- but when [[spoiler:Daniel himself turns on his own kind with an heavy bloodlust and begins to fall further into vicious insanity, even Alexander is disturbed by his behaviour; to quote, he "senses a darkness" in Daniel]]. Of course, he uses this to his advantage, being the MagnificentBastard he is, but you can't help but wonder about his seemingly sincere sorrow at being trapped in an alien world, seperated from his wife and anyone of his own kind, doomed to die a slow and lonely death unless he finds a way back home. Consider also his [[spoiler:concern and disgust at the depravity to which Daniel himself sinks, something which a trigger-happy maniac would not react to or feel disturbed by. Ultimately, let's put it like this: would a displaced human being in a strange dimension feel the same way about torturing and murdering animals of a lower intelligence if it was the only way to get back to their plane of existance? Is Alexander simply trying to escape from a world in which he does not belong, committing his horrific acts of torture on murder on the grounds of a sense of alien superiority and hopeless neccessity?]]

** In addition to that, there is the fact that if you are killed and have to reload, the game will occasionally make the monster that killed you not spawn at all. Occasionally. It doesn't happen enough to be something you can rely on helping you, but happens enough that you will spend an extra 5-15 minutes sneaking and running frantically from a monster in an area the game has suddenly decided to empty out. And the game gives absolutely no indication of when it decides to do this. And you usually don't find out whether the game is giving you a present or a box of spiders until you round a corner and run into another monster that the game has spawned for kicks and giggles.

* PlayerPunch: While you might [[spoiler: suspect what Daniel had done prior to his amnesiac state, the full grasp of it won't hit you until you reach the TortureCellar]].
