Amnesia: Rebirth - Adventure Mode Out Now!

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


This new mode allows players to experience the game with reduced scares, where you dont have to worry about darkness nor monsters attacking you. Continue reading and check out our Dev diary for more info: [previewyoutube=OlOyhsoUE9s;full]https://youtu.be/OlOyhsoUE9s[/previewyoutube] https://store.steampowered.com/app/999220/Amnesia_Rebirth/ When we released Safe mode for SOMA some years ago we didnt really know how it would be received or if it would make a difference at all to the players out there. 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!

Amnesia: Rebirth - a new game in the Amnesia universe

Wishlist Amnesia: Rebirth now!


March 6, 2020 Ten years ago Amnesia: The Dark Descent heralded a new generation of horror. Five years ago, SOMA took us to fresh depths of terror. Now, steel yourself for the next nightmare as we at Frictional Games prepares to release Amnesia: Rebirth this autumn. A new story set in the world of Amnesia: The Dark Descent, Rebirth represents yet another evolutionary leap for Frictional games, challenging players to remain calm in the face of unimaginable terror. Get a glimpse of whats to come in todays announcement trailer and first in-game images. [previewyoutube=3NiQAlGUw_o;full][/previewyoutube] Amnesia: Rebirth is a new descent into darkness in the iconic Amnesia series. Set in the desolate landscape of the Algerian desert, the game will focus on new character Tasi Trianon as she sets out on a harrowing journey through devastation and despair, personal terror and pain, while exploring the limits of human resilience. You cant let out a breath. The creature is only inches away. Its sole purpose - to feed off your terror. And so you crouch in the dark, trying to stop the fear rising, trying to silence what lies within you. Retracing Tasis journey and pulling together the fragments of a shattered past will be the only chance to survive the pitiless horror that threatens to devour you. Time is against you. Still, you must continue, step by step, knowing that if you fail you will lose everything. Amnesia: Rebirth is scheduled for release in autumn 2020 on PC and PlayStation 4. Wishlist on Steamin order to follow along with the updates as they are released. Follow Amnesia: Rebirth Frictional Games' social media, or amnesiarebirth.com.

Hard Mode now also available for Linux and Mac


Are you a Linux or a Mac user? Amnesia: The Dark Descent's Hard Mode update is now creeping onto your platforms too! Don't know what the Hard Mode is? Here's a reminder. It is really just as the title suggests: a mode that makes it harder to beat the game. You know, in case it wasnt stressful enough for you. The Hard Mode has the following features: - Autosaves are disabled, and manual saving costs 4 tinderboxes - Sanity dropping to zero results in death - Less oil and tinderboxes throughout the levels - Monsters are faster, spot the player more easily, deal more damage and stay around for longer - There is no danger music when the monsters are near. So in summary: the environments are harsher, the monsters more unforgiving, insanity is deadly, and death is final unless you pay a toll. You can pick between normal mode and Hard Mode when starting a new game of Amnesia: The Dark Descent. The mode changes some fundamental elements of the game, and therefore cant be changed halfway through. Beating the game on Hard Mode will earn you a new trophy called Masochist. Because, you know, you pretty much have to be one to complete the mode. The mode affects the Illuminatus achievement, which you cant get during playing in Hard Mode as it reduces the amount of tinderboxes throughout the level. Missed our release last week? You can also play the Hard Mode on Windows!

Evoking Presence

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.

Videogames - too fun for their own good?

A sneezing engineer was more than enough to keep the audience spellbound during the early days of film. But soon, filmmakers had to add the element of storytelling, in order to keep the viewers' attention. As a medium, videogames are getting along just fine by relying on fun gameplay. But is it time to disassemble games and start building them with a focus on storytelling, as well as gameplay?

Smallish update - Total conversion mods fix

Apparently something went wrong on the previous update, making it a bit difficult to run total conversion mods out of the box. Version 1.311 addresses that issue so you don't have to hack stuff to make them work. Changelist: - Launcher checks for the 'DefaultMainSettingsSDL2' entry in the init config file passed as argument and falls back to the game's default if not present. - Game checks for the 'DefaultMainSettingsSDL2' and 'DefaultUserKeysSDL2' entries in the init config file passed as argument and falls back to the game's default if not present. - Added "steam_appid.txt" file to make it possible to run the game exe outside Steam.

The last remaining memories fade away into darkness. Your mind is a mess and only a feeling of being hunted remains. You must escape.
Awake...
Amnesia: The Dark Descent, a first person survival horror. A game about immersion, discovery and living through a nightmare. An experience that will chill you to the core.
You stumble through the narrow corridors as the distant cry is heard.
It is getting closer.
Explore...
Amnesia: The Dark Descent puts you in the shoes of Daniel as he wakes up in a desolate castle, barely remembering anything about his past. Exploring the eerie pathways, you must also take part of Daniel's troubled memories. The horror does not only come from the outside, but from the inside as well. A disturbing odyssey into the dark corners of the human mind awaits.
A sound of dragging feet? Or is your mind playing tricks on you?
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. Once the game starts, you will be in control from the beginning to the end. There are no cut-scenes or time-jumps, whatever happens will happen to you first hand.
Something emerges out of the darkness. It's approaching. Fast.
Survive...
Amnesia: The Dark Descent throws you headfirst into a dangerous world where danger can lurk behind every corner. Your only means of defense are hiding, running or using your wits.
Do you have what it takes to survive?
