The second is a short tale about a deeply troubled woman named Justine. The first story is the main game, which follows the misadventures of an unlucky man named Daniel. There are actually two stories that come with Amnesia: The Dark Descent. Over time that popularity has been slipping, but even so, this is still one of the biggest names in the genre, and more than worth a try if you like things to be more than a little spooky. With its unique style of gameplay and storytelling, Amnesia: The Dark Descent was an instant hit with the gaming community. Thus, you have a choice to make between your survival and your questionable sanity. Since there's no way for you to fight back, you'll need to be ready to scurry away into some dark corner should you encounter one of these freaks.
Gruesome monsters roam the castle halls, and you're an easy target when you're standing in the light. There is another issue with both of these approaches, however. Like the lantern oil, there aren't enough tinderboxes to go around, so you'll have to use them sparingly. Your other option is to light candles, fireplaces, or other light fixtures using tinderboxes you'll find scattered about. Once you're out of oil, the lantern goes out, and the darkness closes in. You'll need to find fuel to keep it alight, and as you go deeper into the depths, the less often it appears. Early on, you'll acquire a lantern, but be careful how much stock you put in its light. To keep from drifting into this madness, you'll need to stay in lit areas or make further progress into the story.įinding those lit areas is a bit tricky however, as Brennenburg Castle is an unnaturally dark and foreboding place. Eventually, you'll begin hallucinating and bugs will crawl all over your screen as strange ambient sounds start to echo around you. Staying in dark areas or looking at the monsters will deplete this resource, and as it falls, the world becomes increasingly claustrophobic and distorted. Although it's not the first game to feature a sanity meter, Amnesia's use of it is often one of the reasons players are drawn to this classic horror game.
