Actually given that its creators are the same ones who created the 
original Fallout games and (given I have not played it so my view is 
limited), according to the comments it is closer to the first Fallouts 
than Fallout 3, i would rate it clearly as a CRPG in the classical 
sense. The underlying rpg system with its stat elements definitely push 
it into that category. Actually even Fallout 3 was clearly an RPG to me, 
but it simply did not live up to the excellent parts 1-2 story and 
gameplaywise.

I would do the same. I have not played to deeply into it, but I have 
played about half an hour into it and deferred it for a time when I have 
time, but it clearly is a horror action adventure in the best sense of 
word(a genre almost forgotten). I personally hate the term Survival 
Horror game because for me about 99.9% of those games have nothing to do 
with real horror games, they are just shooters with zombies as the enemies.
Given the absence of shooter elements and the strong emphasis on real 
puzzles Amnesia definitely is related to the Adventure category in a 
sense the first Alone in the Dark was and a handful of other games.
