Frictional Games has announced that the PC demo for Amnesia: The Bunker is now available for download on Steam. This demo will give you an idea of what you can expect from the full game which will come out on June 6th.
Amnesia: The Bunker will feature a semi-open world, and will allow players the freedom to impact gameplay, and choose their playstyle. Unlike their previous Amnesia games, Amnesia: The Bunker will feature a new kind of horror survival adventure that incorporates emergent gameplay and sandbox elements into the mix. Players will be in total control of their moment-to-moment decisions. The game will also provide players will a revolver so that they can find their enemies.
The game promises to have multiple solutions to each task, puzzle, and approach. Amnesia: The Bunker will also encourage the player to explore and experiment, using wits and whatever tools are at their disposal. The developers claim that every decision will change the outcome of how the game responds. This new twist in gameplay aims to add new depths and constant tension to the game.
You can download the demo from here.
Have fun!

Still looks like shlt. Surely plays like shlt as well. Gotta try this demo to make sure.
Frictional is a AA studio.
Remember that quality AA games are better than Forspoken.
I don’t wanna play this or forspoken. There are other options in my catalog. Everything is soulless these days. I finally went back & played RE7 and that was even more soulless than I remembered. Then I tried RE8, soulless would be an understatement. Any games that constantly takes control from you, to show you something ‘awesome’ is usually soulless. Stop with this either or either, they are all garbage. RE7 bought on DEEP deep sale back when I bought games from steam, glad I rode the high dead with RE8, have no desire to play those formulaic games. Just kept falling asleep when I play modern day games. Guess I’ll be stuck playing the Witcher 3 for the rest of my life.
You can always play Baldur’s Gate or Divinity. It’s true most modern games are crap, yet there are diamonds in the rough as always.
So is The Astronauts.
And they made 1 game
Two. And both look and run significantly better than anything Frictial ever released.
They made the same game, twice, to my knowledge.
Witchfire gasnt released yet.
Meaning?
I don’t know, they actually learned and stopped making walking simulators instead bringing back much needed interactivity that was missing since SOMA.

amnesia was always cringe, never got memed into playing them. but SOMA. damn,,, sci-fi masterpiece dear heaven
I hated SOMA, removed tons of interactivity.
The first Penumbra is also great, the subsequent Penumbras are inferior, Black Plague just completely removes a lot of what made the first one good, and replaced it with “comedy”.
looking forward to checking this out
Does it have the same 60fps limit that previous games on this engine (SOMA, Rebirth) had?
Yup, it’s Frictional.

That doesn’t help at all, since animations are capped at 60 FPS.
The stubbornness of Frictional in sticking to an OpenGL render.
Ever heard of “don’t fix if it ain’t broken”?
Remember that even the original version of DOOM (2016) only had an OpenGL renderer at launch, and it performed just fine.
Plus, I appreciate any game studio which sticks to their own in-house engine these days instead of going the lazy route via Unreal Engine…
OpenGL is a lot slower than Vulkan, so it the performance is broken. Which was proven when D16 came out.
Plus, they didn’t upgrade their engine since 2007. Now that is a pinnacle of laziness.
Those were updates, not upgrades. And even those updates were small.
You’re comparing a AAA studio with a history of technical wizardry to a AA studio studio.
Capped at 60 FPS. What a joke.
I’m going to try it out, see what it’s like. I still give credit to Frictional because they practically are pioneers of the genre…unfortunately the formula got copied and replicated in a ton of crappy games over the years.
