Release on the 8th of September!

"Amnesia could be the scariest survival horror game in quite a long time." - IGN

"The impression so far is of a game that while extremely similar to Penumbra in style, is looking much neater, and managing to be far more sinister." - Eurogamer

"For horror fans of all types, whether gamers or not, this is one you must look into. For fans of the Penumbra series, it's a no-brainer." - Neoseeker

"One particular sequence involving an underground corridor flooded with water got me so worked up I had to walk away from the computer and gather my senses with a cup of coffee." - Strategy Informer

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?


game02 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?

Visit the game page or the promotional site to get all the good stuff in Russian. Closer to release we will try to compile a list of places where to buy the game.
Integrated graphics, such as the Intel GMA 950, might not work. Low cost video cards may perform worse, or not work at all, even if they are much newer than old cards such as the Radeon 9600 (released 2003).

Radeon 9600-9800 should work, X100 and X1000 series should work with the exception of lower end cards.

Caution when using an older or low cost CPU, such as Intel Celeron or AMD Sempron, their performance might not match this requirement.
Translations are text only and more languages might be added after initial release.
