The vote to determine which of these two titles is scarier will conclude on Saturday morning at 9 am Pacific time.\n\nAmnesia: The Dark Descent secured its spot in the final round by defeating other contenders such as SOMA, Darkwood, and Silent Hill 2. Meanwhile, Alien: Isolation triumphed over games like S.T.A.L.K.E.R., F.E.A.R., and even Amnesia: The Bunker. While some PC Gamer staff members might have prefered The Bunker as the scariest title in the Amnesia series, both Amnesia: The Dark Descent and Alien: Isolation have proven to be formidable contenders.\n\nAs the countdown begins until the winner is crowned, PC Gamer readers will have the opportunity to cast their votes and weigh in on which game strikes fear into their hearts.",
