| 10073 | 4 | 2010-02-27 16:52:44 | <p><i>Helsingborg, Sweden - 19th of February 2010</i></p> <p>From the makers of the Penumbra series comes a brand new survival horror game, Amnesia: The Dark Descent. Today we are happy to announce the release of the game's web site and a first look at actual in-game footage, in the form of a horrifying teaser.</p> <blockquote><p>"We recently finished a massive testing session of the game to much success. With that behind us we now know how Amnesia will play like and what it takes to finish it. This means we feel confident in moving forward and sharing more juicy details about the game. This includes crucial things such as availability, pricing and what the game is all about."<br> - Thomas Grip, Co-founder.</p></blockquote> <p><b>Web site</b><br> General information about the game, screenshots and a teaser are the main additions to the heavily updated web site . We have also added information about how to pre-order and where the final game will be available for purchase. Check back for future updates with new screens, information and, as release draws closer, a demo.</p> <p>The web site also features something of a first in the history of computer games - the "pre-order-o-meter". Watch as blood fill up for every new pre-order placed! If we reach 2000 pre-orders before end of May, new content will be added to the game.</p> <p><a href="http://www.amnesiagame.com/">http://www.amnesiagame.com/</a></p> <p><b>Teaser</b><br> Take a deep breath and prepare yourself to experience the first real gameplay video released. This teaser gives a first look at what sort of experience we are aiming for when playing Amnesia, it lasts for over three minutes and consists of one single clip. The idea is to convey as clearly as possible that the player is in control of the character throughout the whole game. There are no cut-scenes or any sort of moments where control is taken away to force the narrative forward.</p> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEHPwAvrc_U">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEHPwAvrc_U</a></p> <p><b>Status of Amnesia: The Dark Descent</b><br> The game is now up and running on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X! All platforms have participated in the recent testing session and performed over expectations. We are pleased to announce that the game will get a simultaneous release on all platforms!</p> <p>Many companies seem to view the PC as a "dying gaming platform" and we see this as a great opportunity. Amnesia is a modern 3D game that from the very beginning has been created with the PC in mind. It has modest demands on the PC hardware compared to recent console ports and because of this we are able to make sure a broader audience can experience the game as intended.</p> <p><b>Release and availability</b><br> With an estimated release date of August 2010, you can pre-order it now for USD16 and save 20% on the release price of USD20. The pre-order is available at our own online store and is for the digital download version of the game. At the release in August the game will be available for purchase in just about any of the major online stores. Further details can be found at the Amnesia web site and more information will be released shortly. A boxed version for retail release is also planned and information will be released as it becomes available.</p> <p><a href="http://www.amnesiagame.com/#buy">http://www.amnesiagame.com/#buy</a></p> <p><b>About Frictional Games</b><br> We are a small independent game developer located in the south of Sweden or, to be more precise, located on the Internet - the company is office-free.
