This new mode allows players to experience the game with reduced scares, where you dont have to worry about darkness nor monsters attacking you.

Today we know that it was well worth the effort and that the mode allowed a whole new audience to experience the game. We got a lot of player feedback from people appreciating SOMAs safe mode, and nearly every single interview leading up to the release of Amnesia: Rebirth contained the question Will it come with a safe mode?. This indicates to us that the mode has had an important influence on SOMAs reception. Now, weve created something very similar for Rebirth. Safe mode allowed players to take in SOMAs narrative, atmosphere, story and theme, without having to worry about monsters attacking them. And even though Amnesia: Rebirth has a foundation in the same kind of horror that once made Amnesia: The Dark Descent so successful, the game shares many characteristics with SOMA. With Adventure Mode we hope that new players, that have a hard time handling horror as a genre, will get to experience Tasis story. That they will get to immerse themselves in the character and the unforgiving environments of Rebirth, as they fight for survival for themselves and those closest to them.
Playing the game in Adventure Mode still contains the same serious themes and story - and the atmosphere can still be quite unnerving at times - but the experience is going to be much less of a horror experience and more one of an epic adventure.

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.

For those of you who still want the horror experience, the Original mode is still available to you, but we hope that this new mode will be a nice alternative for others. We are celebrating the release with a 40% discount on Amnesia: Rebirth, and 80% off on all our other games!

Penumbra:Overture is a first person survival horror game, emphasizing on survival and problem solving instead of mindless violence and gore.
Played from a first person perspective and powered by a 3D engine utilising cutting edge technology, Penumbra is a substantial advancement of the genre. The unique physics system allows for true environmental interaction in a way not possible in other games.

Penumbra will put players on edge like never before as they explore ominous and mysterious environments, the unknown awaiting them behind every corner. The world is detailed both in terms of graphical fidelity and narrative character - Penumbra is a horrific experience that will grip players from its opening thrills to its chilling denouement.
