Amnesia: The Dark Descent

"Amnesia: The Dark Descent" is a terrifying first-person survival horror game created by Frictional Games. You take on the role of Daniel, an amnesia sufferer who wakes up in an abandoned Prussian castle. Before long, you realize that you are not alone. This is a haunted castle, and you have no means to escape. Armed with nothing but intense fear, you must try to outwit horrifying creatures, regain your memory and unravel the mystery surrounding Brennenburg Castle.

A Truly Petrifying Experience

As Daniel, you are weak, scared and have no way to defend yourself. Can you stay alive using only your wits and temporary sources of light? You can hide and outsmart monsters, but if you get too frightened, you will suffer panic attacks and become helpless in the dark.

Embark on a deadly quest to salvage pieces of your fragmented memory. Explore the castle and use random letters and journal entries as your only guide.

Game Features

"Amnesia: The Dark Descent" features a compelling and terrifying soundtrack that has been masterfully crafted to paralyze even the most avid horror fans. Listen to Daniel's shallow breathing and rapid heartbeat as monsters approach. Hear footsteps, moans, ominous scratching and unexplained noises in the dark. Accompany Daniel as he plunges into sheer terror, despair and insanity. You will even begin to experience both visual and auditory hallucinations as he loses his grip on reality.

Fluid, detailed graphics will immerse you in the realistic environment. You can interact with your surroundings, barricade doors with objects, solve intricate puzzles and hide in the shadows. Enhanced physics make it possible for you to control the speed at which you close and open doors. Whenever you slam a door shut out of fright or carefully peek into a room in the dimly lit castle, the game will draw you into the nightmare.

Learn to Balance Light and Dark

You only have fear and limited light sources in your possession. To make it even more challenging, the game will force you to manage your lamp's source of fuel wisely. If you use it too much, monsters can see where you are hiding. If you stay in the shadows for too long, you will develop blurred vision, suffer hallucinations and experience debilitating panic attacks. Strike a balance between darkness and light, and try to hang on to your sanity for as long as you possibly can.

This is a game that will cater to fans of intense heart-pumping horror. Do you have what it takes to survive amnesia?
