Like a deformed test chamber or are you being a wiseguy?

Are those the only choices?
Then voices, coming out of nowhere...
Stuff like eyes popping up and disappearing again...
Make a normal test chamber where you get in and suddenly something goes wrong and all light goes out... And somebody is being released... What if glados and wheatley Found together to get rid of you?
Search "female" or "male" in the model browser... Maybe you can use Them. Maybe there is a mad scientist somewhere in the map?
EDIT: And the env_fire! Fire is always scary! make the fire come out of nothing, with no other purpose than lighting your way... 
Actually you gave me ideas... I will be starting too... Where are you putting a map like that?

Darkness... If you have played amnesia, you know what i mean... NOT totalt darkness. The player may just not have a chance to see the whole level at once...

That sounds cool, I'd play a map like that.

The idea of using fire to light your way could be cool. If you could make some kind of torch the player carries around, which sometimes needs to be set down in order to complete parts of the test. It would have to light the immediate area pretty well, to avoid frustration, but it could leave the rest of the map dark.
Maybe you have to carry around the partially incinerated companion cube from Portal 1?
A map with the saw theme

In form of a burning cube maybe? I will find out... The level won't be as much test... more like... a thinking part. Is it too much if the map requires an iPhone?

Absolutely too much. Remember the person downloading the map shouldn't need anything more than the game Portal 2.

Is it possible to make a trigger toggle these commands?
You can add camera blur with the logic_playerproxy entity.
Add that to your map, and then you can use a trigger or something to set the property of that entity 'SetMotionBlurAmount' to a value. A value of 10 is a good amount...
