These portals not only allow you to pass through solid rock but also transport you to some alien-like other dimension where ancient beings are harvesting humans as crops, putting them in torture pods, and “milking” their fear as energy used to power their civilization and own immortality.
Your trek quickly takes you to some strange caves with mysterious portals that you can activate with your wrist medallion/compass. When you awaken you find everyone onboard has vanished and you must set out across the desert to find out what happened. The game starts off with you, Tasi Trianon and your husband on a plane just before strange almost supernatural events cause your plane to crash in the Algeria desert. If this game were in VR you’d spend most of it looking at your feet. Thankfully, this sequel doesn’t require any prior knowledge of the earlier game, although I have a hunch there are numerous bits of lore and references that fans with better memories than me will appreciate.Īmnesia: Rebirth has a very distinct style, both in its visual storytelling through artistic story panels sketched on parchment and its unique fear mechanic that rewards you for staying in well-lit areas while penalizing you for straying into darkness or even making eye-contact with a monster or other horrific scenes, of which there are plenty. Frictional Games latest game is thankfully a direct sequel to Dark Descent a game I finished but honestly can’t remember (no pun intended). SOMA, in 2015, still holds top honors in my personal horror game hall of fame. I did play The Dark Descent ten years ago, but I skipped A Machine for Pigs entirely three years later. I love horror games but I never got into the Amnesia series for some reason.
