Helsingborg, Sweden, 03/9 – 2010
Today Frictional Games, the makers of the Penumbra series, has
released a demo for their upcoming first person survival horror
“Amnesia: The Dark Descent”. Players with Windows,
Macor Linux all get a chance to experience a small slice of the
dread and terror contained in the full game.
The game begins with Daniel awakening in a desolate Prussian
castle, without any memories to explain his situation. A letter
written by himself, reveals that the amnesia is actually
self-inflicted.
The mysterious message urges him to seek out and kill Alexander,
a man residing deep below the castle. Hunted by a dark shadow,
Daniel can see no other way out than to trust his former self. If
he is to save his life and mind, he needs to find out what it is
all really about. It is his only hope for salvation. A dark descent
awaits.
Amnesia: The Dark Descent is a first person horror game with
focus on immersion. It is a game where atmosphere and story comes
first. Amnesia will be released on the 8th of September and can be
purchased in Frictional Game's own online store as well as most
major online retailers.
We would also like to seize the opportunity and inform all that
there is a 10% discount on Amnesia if you pre-order. For those who
