Hey, have you heard of that PewDiePie guy? Even if you don’t follow (or like) his work, the answer is probably ‘yes’. While I’m not a great fan of mental health-related terminology being used for horror, the way sanity worked in Amnesia was nothing less than brilliant. It wasn’t the first game to do this, but it was the first to bring that style of gameplay into the limelight through a combination of luck and good game design.įor me, Amnesia‘s biggest game-changer was its sanity meter. Even psychological horror masterpiece Silent Hill still used combat as a major part of its game design.Īmnesia wrenched weapons from its players hands, taking away even the minute amount of safety they might have offered. It wasn’t the first game to do a creeping, tense horror that took your weapons from you – even Amnesia developers Frictional Games had released a similar game before with Penumbra.īut by and large the big hitters of the genres were games like Resident Evil, F.E.A.R and Dead Space, which were more about shooting the scary bad guys than hiding from them. On is release in 2010, Amnesia really changed the idea of what horror could be. And then those elements that were so typically Amnesia started turning up in other games. Amnesia‘s tense game of hide and seek provided a thrill of adrenaline like no other I had experienced before, and I was hooked.īut no other game really came close, at least not at that point, so I replayed Amnesia until even the most terrifying moments were so familiar they couldn’t shock me anymore. I’m petrified at the thought of it, but I don’t want to seem like a wimp so I go along with it.Ģ4 hours later we emerge: shaking, triumphant, changed for good. A friend asks if I want to play Amnesia with her. Graphics: Radeon X1000/GF 6 – Integrated graphics and very low budget cards might not work.Flashback to 2012.Processor: 2.0Ghz – Low budget CPUs such as Celeron or Duron needs to be at about twice the CPU speed.There are no cut-scenes or time-jumps, whatever happens, will happen to you first hand.
Once the game starts, you will be in control from the beginning to the end. Experience…: By using a fully physically simulated world, cutting edge 3D graphics and a dynamic sound system, the game pulls no punches when trying to immerse you.
You stumble through the narrow corridors as the distant cry is heard. An experience that will chill you to the core. A game about immersion, discovery and living through a nightmare.
Survive…: Amnesia: The Dark Descent throws you headfirst into a dangerous world where danger can lurk behind every corner.Your mind is a mess and only a feeling of being hunted remains.
The last remaining memories fade away into darkness.
