The free Adventure Mode update for Amnesia: Rebirth is out now!

Heres a summary of the features that comes with the new Adventure Mode:

• Monsters still exist in the game but they wont attack you anymore.
• Locations that contained pitch black darkness have been brightened up a lot, making environments possible to explore at ones own pace, allowing for easier navigation and removes some of the oppressive atmosphere.
• No active fear mechanic, meaning that you dont have to worry about taking fear from being in darker areas or near monsters.
• A few bonus puzzles.

Playing a videogame can put you in a state where the borders between your self and the character gets blurry. This is one of the major differences that sets games apart from other mediums such as films and literature. When creating games, evoking this feeling of presence is worth trying to achieve.

A sneezing engineer was more than enough to keep the audience spellbound during the early days of film.
