None of which should be a deal-breaker if you did like the original Amnesia this game even features the triumphant return of the jam that comes out of the walls. ![]() But you don't know which 5%! Wooo!Īnd of course, there's still that trademark Frictional Games physics interaction where you open doors by clicking the mouse and then moving the mouse and realizing you should've moved it the other way, dumb twat. It's just about the only rebirth on offer, as rebirth implies evolution, and this is mainly a return to the gameplay of the first Amnesia: The Dark Descent in that it actually has some gameplay you explore spooky environments while using your limited supply of oil and matches to minimize the amount of time you spend in pitch darkness, where you run the risk of suffering a major trouser accident and lethally bankrupting yourself with dry cleaning expenses, and you have to balance all that while solving inventory puzzles and hiding from gribblies, which it turns out you're only in actual danger from about 5% of the time. Minor spoiler alert: one of the central plot elements concerns a couple trying for a second child, which I suppose you might call a "rebirth", if you're a robot from space. And brace yourself it'll probably turn out you can't remember because you did a bad thing, and everyone's gone because you ate them or turned them into camels or whatever. So in the grand tradition of Amnesia games, we as Tasi must figure out what happened by descending into somewhere that's very dark. In Amnesia: Rebirth, we play as Tasi Trianon, a French archaeologist around the turn of the previous, less fucked-up century who heads out to the desert with her husband and expedition team, but after their plane crashes, she wakes up in the wreckage with no memory and everyone else mysteriously gone. AMNESIA THE DARK DESCENT COSPLAY FREEHey, wouldn't it be crazy if the post office stopped delivering letters and instead delivered free money to my house?! But I digress. Between this and the Paper Mario hole punch boss, I really need to figure out a way to exploit my power to make exaggerated terrible ideas reality. You left the starting blocks, and one of your shoes has already fallen off. But I remember saying at the time, at least it didn't go for some incredibly generic one-word sequel name inevitably beginning with the letters "RE" in which case, oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, Amnesia: Rebirth. It's been so long since the last Amnesia game, I almost forgot it existed, ironically, LOL! And even longer since the last installment by Frictional Games A Machine for Pigs was, of course, developed by The Chinese Room, and had all the gameplay of a supermarket conveyor belt covered in pork products, not to mention a rather off-putting subtitle.
