Amnesia: The Dark Descent Trailer Gives the Heebie-Jeebies

Penumbra developer Frictional Games has released a moody teaser trailer with several minutes of gameplay from its latest survival horror, Amnesia: The Dark Descent.

"The idea is to convey as clearly as possible that the player is in control of the character throughout the whole game," Frictional explains. "There are no cut-scenes or any sort of moments where control is taken away to force the narrative forward."

Previously named 'Unknown,' Amnesia: The Dark Descent is tentatively slated to hit PC, Linux and Mac in August costing $20 and can be pre-ordered for $16. A developer commentary track will be added to the game if 2,000 pre-orders are received by May 31.

I own Penumbra and the follow up Black Plague. (but not that xpansion after BP, I heard it was crap) If this game is as good as their first two, this is a day one buy for me.

hey, at least it has lean, right?

on a more serious note, I'd love this kind of game mechanics in a Lovecraftian At The Mountains of Madness/Charles Dexter Ward type of setting.

This looks pretty cool. Too bad it's only coming out for the PC. I would love to play this on my Xbox 360. I don't think my PC would be able to run this bad boy anyway, considering I don't have a seperate video card . . .

Anyone who preorders this from their website will get a steam activation option when the game becomes available! http://frictionalgames.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=3397&pid=27342#pid27342

Anyone who loves a good single player game needs to jump on this! Penumbra was excellent and it looks like they're taking it to the next level with this game.

I like how the guy is cautiously peeking around the corners looking for whatever is causing the noise, despite having the lantern on in the dark dungeon. Real inconspicuous.

Despite that, the game looks very interesting. Hope they pull it off.

That teaser had me riveted, an accomplishment made more impressive by the fact that it was from watching one continuous scene, as opposed to a collection of random, suspenseful moments. Yup, I'm pre-ordering this.

Preordered.

The Penumbra games were quite good, with the only downside being rubbish combat. But the atmosphere was top notch.
