From the creators that brought the Penumbra series - they are now bringing out a new first-person horror video game. That to be honest looks too scary for words.

I'm not sure if they have a publisher but they're planned release is 10th of September so not too far away.


It looks like to be an amazing game - if it makes me feel emotions (which isn't omg this is crap) it will be great. The darkness and unknown enemy... :cool:

Just awesome.

I'm so glad developers are still creating games such as this and not big money making swill (heres looking at you mw2).

I will hopefully get this on the 10th of September it will be £20 I think or £18 if you pre-order now. First time I've done such a thread like this hopefully it'll kick start off a good discussion for game enthusiasts such as yourselves and I. :)

Yeah, the game looks GREAT. I pre-ordered it after seeing that trailer and I think they had a half price pre-order deal so I snapped it up for £8.50. They also said you can activate it on Steam, so even better.

I'm kinda dreading the day it gets released because that means I have to play it and get scared sh**less.
 
[Update]

Fixed the first video.

Calneon it does look fantastic, I will only be playing at night just to give myself double the scares. :p Steam activation? That's cool, much more convienent I suppose.
 
interesting game by the looks of it, might live up to its name - survival horror and not survival horror -by way of shooting a hole in everything.
thanks for bringing attention to this game

You're welcome. :)

Yeah having nothing but a lamp and the environment (tables, chairs) to help does sound a bit daunting. :p

I'm not sure what else is in the game myself but I have high hopes for it.

Played a preview build of it a couple of months back. From what I saw, it looked promising.

http://resolution-magazine.co.uk/content/preview-amnesia-the-dark-descent/ is what I wrote about it if anyone's interested.

Just read it and you've just typed the words I really wanted to hear (excluding the typo ;)).

I'm fascinated by the unknown and surreality of what the human can conjure, personally, I think this is going to be fantastic. :cool:

It's got brown pants written all over it. Sadly not my type of game.

I've never played the Penumbra series....there's 3 of them? shall i buy all 3 on Steam one hit?:p i love horror games like Silent Hills, FEAR, The Condemned and so on.

That game looks interesting, another one to play at 3am lights out with headset on very loud.:D

Edit: I see a collector's pack there for £17.99 i guess that includes the whole series?

If you consider FEAR a horror game and not what it is, an over designed but still poor FPS with a random chick who runs around slamming doors, flicking the light switches and occasional jumping out and saying "BOO!", Penumbra and most likely this will have you never sleeping with the lights off ever again.

Looking forward to it, haven't had a true scare since my first play through of Crimson Butterfly, Penumbra was great and very atmospheric but the dated engine really lessened the scares

Considering i've seen some very messed up Korean films i doubt that :p but i like all the jumpy stuff however is the collector's pack worth it on Steam? want to know because i'll probably buy it within the next few hours.

Penumbra has been hailed a lot scarier than what you've mentioned other than the first silent hill.

I need to get the penumbra series too... I was just looking into survival horrors other than the mainstream ones. :)
 
Haha gotya!!!
:))

Game does look really good tho, kind of reminds me of Dark messiah for some reason (maybe the grafics or something)
and thief 3 aswell.

Just watched the first video, only saw the second one b4, wow what can i say really does look scarey.
